The newest trend in cocktail parties is providing opportunities for your guests to interact with their food. This means they get to build-their-own plate, watch a Pepper Moon chef create their personal dish or enjoy uniquely-displayed menu items. Below are some of Pepper Moon’s tried-and-true Action and Interactive Stations. 

Mashed Potato Martini Bar

Your guests will fill their own martini glass (real or disposable) with Pepper Moon’s Signature Smashed Potatoes. They will then choose toppings from: Chopped ham, crumbled bacon, shredded smoked gouda, shredded cheddar, scallions, sautéed mushrooms, sour cream, salsa, and whole green olives. 

Jap Che

A traditional Korean dish prepared by a Pepper Moon Chef in an Asian to go box with chopsticks (forks available). This tasty dish consists of beef, glass noodles, shredded cabbage, carrots and onion sautéed in an authentic wok with garlic, sesame oil, and black and white sesame seeds.

Shrimp and Grits

Pepper Moon’s southern staple is made with jumbo shrimp, Andouille sausage, beer, mushrooms, scallions, Cajun spice and our own Moon spice blend. Our gourmet grits are made with smoked gouda, cream and butter. 

Braised Beef Short Rib

This popular cut of beef cooks tender and juicy.  Served on a small plate over Wild Mushroom Risotto with a small wooden fork, this short plate has proven to be one of Pepper Moon’s most popular dishes. 

Torcia Formaggio

Want to WOW your guests?!  A Pepper Moon chef will fire housemade fresh mozzarella with a blow torch!  Our mozzarella is stuffed with Italian sausage and basil, or olive tapenade for vegetarians, and served over a soft na’an wedge, and finished with hot marinara. Think “deconstructed pizza!” 

Gourmet Grilled Cheese

A trend at cocktail parties is to offer a basic comfort food as an hors d’oeuvre. At your event a Pepper Moon chef will grill our gourmet grilled cheeses on our own flattop grill and serve sandwich quarters to your guests. You can pair your grilled cheese with a fresh slaw or pasta salad to complete the mini meal. 

Choose from:
Bacon and Bleu Cheese on Marbled Rye
Goat Cheese and Peppadew on Whole Wheat for a sweet hot flavor
Pepper Moon’s Own Pimento Cheese, plain or jalapeño
Double Cheese with Cheddar and Provolone

Shrimp Tacos

Our Culinary Team will fill small flour tortillas with shrimp sautéed in tequila butter or with Cajun spices, topped with shredded lettuce, red onion and homemade jalapeño remoulade.

Gyros

Remind you of an outdoor festival? We grill Greek-style seasoned beef on a skewer, then serve it on soft na’an, topped with housemade tzatziki, grilled onions, and chopped tomatoes.

Pulled Pork Wraps

A fun spin on NC Barbeque! A member of our Culinary Team will place our 8-hour-slow-roasted pulled pork on a flour tortilla with tangy barbeque sauce and fried onions (the secret ingredient!). Even your most-seasoned BBQ eater will love this dish!

Texas Beef Brisket Station

Petite sub rolls will be stuffed with chef-carved beef brisket and accompanied by shredded gourmet slaw, bleu cheese crumbles, chopped red onion, and barbeque sauce.

Chicken Streudel

Pepper Moon’s recipe includes chicken breast meat mixed with cream cheese sauce, mushrooms and scallions sealed in puff pastry and baked. Delicious served with a small side salad of fancy greens tossed in olive oil with sea salt and shaved parmesan, or all by itself!

Shooters!

Soup Shooters can accompany any plated meal.
Pudding Shooters – fun, miniature desserts with tiny spoons.

Steamship Round of Pork
Bourbon and Thyme Smoked Fresh Turkey

For the consummate Sweet Tooth! Pepper Moon’s Culinary Team will take a North Carolina staple, famous Krispy Kreme donuts, slice them sandwich-style and fill them with whipped cream or sweet cream cheese mousse. Your guests will create their own dessert from a smorgasbord of candies, fresh fruit, chopped nuts, and drizzles. 

Bananas Flambé

To impress your guests we will provide a Pepper Moon chef to sauté fresh bananas in rum, butter and finish with a flame! Served over Raspberry Swirl Cheesecake from Spring Garden Bakery and finished with your choice of whipped cream, caramel cream sauce, berry sauce OR chocolate fudge sauce.
