Lee Bogle founded Southern Sideboard while preparing for her oldest son's christening luncheon when she could not find ham biscuits, cheese straws, tomato aspic or a caramel cake anywhere in town.  To her horror, even the local grocery store sold instant grits!  After contemplating a move, she was reminded of her mother's Steele Magnolia type tribe that would descend upon the dining room with Junior League cookbooks and silver polish for any and all social functions.  Those ladies pulled through again (refusing to let her son be dedicated to the Lord with instant grits) and when the celebratory weekend finally came, her parents arrived with southern staples and a pile of Junior League cookbooks.  Lee set out to perfect said dishes and began offering them in "pop up shops".   Today, Southern Sideboard offers family style meal prep services and event catering.   Contact Lee@southernsideboard.com for more information.  
 
Lee was raised in Georgia on the notion that if it isn’t moving it should be monogrammed, that cheese straws should be on the menu at every party and that pearls are always a good idea.  More importantly, she has learned that traditions are the love connection that bridge generations.  You’ll find her happiest entertaining her family and friends.
