About
Cookin’ With Love
Jason, Jeremy, and Brett Brill as young boys moved to the Bay Area in 1987. Our parents had restaurants in New Orleans for 15 years, and they participated in the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival from 1975-1987 as a food vendor.
Our parents started New Orleans Catering in California 36 years ago. We were corporate and special events caterers including music venues, fairs and festivals. Our authentic New Orleans Cuisine was very popular in the Bay Area, we enjoyed a good reputation for quality food and fast friendly service. We cooked from scratch daily at events using our recipes with fresh ingredients and our own blend of seasonings. The crowds appreciated seeing our big pots of Seafood Gumbo, Chicken & Sausage Jambalaya, Crawfish Etouffee’ and our Southern Fried Chicken Sandwich, Cajun Crab Fries and Po’Boys.
We worked the business for many years becoming chefs and partners in New Orleans
Catering. Southern Comfort Kitchen was formed by Jason, Jeremy and Brett Brill in 2013. Our business specialized in bringing gourmet New Orleans Style cookin’ to the Bay Area with our two Food Trucks.
