“The discovery of a new dish confers more happiness on humanity, than the discovery of a new star.”

 Anthelme Brillat-Savarin

 We know that come football season the rivalries will be coming out between the neighboring states. When the Volunteer boys play in Gainesville this September, we all know we’ll be cheering them on hoping that we will get the upper hand for the next 365 days until we meet again on our turf.  Now it isn’t football season yet, basketball season is over, and baseball season is wrapping up, so this got us thinking…

We decided to offer a way to combine a good bit of competitive fun with our love of food: a Soup Recipe Contest. Not only are we excited to see the variety of recipes that you send in, but this is an opportunity for us to learn from y’all and grow our love of cooking. We ask that you send in your soup recipes no later than Friday, August 5, 2011 and we will announce the winner the next Friday, August 12.  The winning recipe will be used as a Weekly Special the following month and the winner will receive a J&M Gift Basket.

Please email your recipes to WeCaterNashville@gmail.com.

Include your Name and Phone Number.

If there’s a story behind the recipe, be sure to include that as well!

Crieve Hall Yankees

Crieve Hall Yankees sponsored by J&M Catering


Rick Kahre and J&M Catering have a strong history of community involvement in the Nashville area. J&M Catering’s tradition of sponsoring youth sports teams is just one example of their civic commitment. We have proudly supported the Overton football program for the past fifteen years. Youth baseball has also benefited from our sponsorship. A few of the baseball teams include the Cardinals, White Sox, Devil Rays, and now, this year, the Crieve Hall Yankees. We were contacted by Kurt Kreb, who’s son Fisher plays the pitcher’s position for the Yankees in the coach pitch format. Their season started slowly, but they finished up by winning 8 in a row! Great job boys! We also applaud Kurt and the other coaches, who, throughout the years, have developed and taught young athletes the valuable life lessons that playing team sports has to offer.

The April meeting of The Middle Tennessee Chapter of the American Culinary Foundation was held at the Yazoo Beer Brewing Company April 19, 2010. At this meeting the chefs had a contest to create an entree or dessert item using Yazoo Beer. Chef/Owner Rick Kahre of J & M Catering entered a Lemon Pound Cake recipe using a Yazoo hefeweizen beer. He concentrated the beer and used it in place of water, creating a moist, fragrant cake with a unique texture. His creativeness won Rick first place for his entry and a $200 prize.

What a great day at Our Kids Soup Sunday, February 28th, 2010 at LP Stadium. The crowds came in the door at 11:00 am and did not let up until 1:15pm. Our soup selection this year was “Cheeseburger in Paradise”. If you know the song, Cheeseburger in Paradise by Jimmy Buffet, you know what’s in the soup.

“I like mine with lettuce and tomato
Heinz 57 and french fried potatoes
Big kosher pickle and a cold draft beer
Well, good god Almighty which way do I steer”

Our soup was a beer-cheese soup with diced onions and Land Shark beer inside it. We filled each portion cup with soup, tomatoes, pickles, diced hamburger patties, lettuce, and potato stix. Dishing out the soup this year was Jason Gooch, sous chef at J & M Catering, Pam Kahre, Nathan Kahre, and Rick Kahre, Owner of J & M. Seeming to be the talk of the soup selections, we did notice that we gave out several second and third portions to a lot of people. We would estimate that we served over 800 portions of the soup. And at the awards ceremony it was announced that we had received 5th place in the Peoples Choice category. There were over 50 restaurants represented, so we think 5th place is a respectable finish for our newly created soup this year. We look forward to next years competition. Maybe we will do a remix ;)

“I wanted to put my best effort forward this year. I practiced my dish and prepared it in front of a group prior to the competition. Their reviews of my final product made me more focused and were an attribute to my success. I am very excited about my 2nd place finish and look forward to next years competition.” – Rick Kahre




Congratulations on your 2nd place finish Rick! Best of luck next year.
