More Mouthwatering Menu Ideas For Your FSU Seminole Tailgate Shindig

Kathi Dameron's Famous Spicy Cajun Shrimp
Back in March 1992, Kathi Dameron and some of her "Too Busy To Cook" recipes were featured in the popular food and entertaining magazine, Bon Appetit. Kathi's spicy shrimp was one of the recipes selected for the article. Seems that the editors of Bon Appetit enjoyed the dish as much as Kathi's friends did. Long before opening Canopy Rose Catering and Special Events in Tallahassee, Kathi would serve these spicy cajun-style prawns at fun gatherings before football games and aboard her speed boat. They are simply awesome anytime, but especially noteworthy just before the Seminole- Gator Game in late November.

Onion Blossoms with Secret Garnet and Gold Dipping Sauce
If you like the popular fried onion blossoms served as a pre-dinner appetizer at the Outback Steak House- you'll absolutely love these!

Fire-Roasted Kebabs
Beef, chicken, sausage or seafood marinated in a winning sauce then grilled to perfection on site. Imagine the smell... utterly unforgettable! For a burst of festive color we add peppers.

North Florida Oyster Roast
No one should leave this neck of the woods before sampling our delicious Apalachicola Oysters.

Fried Gator Tail
Sorry Florida Fans---- I couldn't resist! Mmmm, Mmmmm these bites are simply delish!

Tailgating In Tallahassee

Tailgating in Tallahassee? Be sure to indulge in some of our local favorites!

Why not have us create a delicious menu for you based on treasures from the Gulf of Mexico. The catch from nearby Apalachicola is simply magnificent during the football season.

Think jumbo shrimp, oysters on the half shell, stone crabs... you get the idea!

The owner of Canopy Rose has been dreaming up tantalizing tailgate menus for 25 years.

Welcome to the FSU Sport Event Catering Site

Welcome! Thanks for dropping by the "FSU Sport Event Catering" site. This site is being designed as a resource for our Tallahassee Florida tailgating clients.

We will share menus, logistical information, local insights and more to help you in planning your large, medium or intimate-sized FSU Tailgate Party.

Our experience in creating unforgettable FSU Tailgate Parties goes as far back as the 1980's, when owner, Kathi Dameron, coordinated game weekend jaunts from South Florida to the capital city for home games or to many of the out-of- town destinations for away games.

In March 1994, Kathi opened Canopy Rose in Tallahassee and by the fall football season found herself in great demand as an upscale caterer of small, exclusive high-end football parties and other sporting events at FSU and FAMU.

Within a few short years, under her leadership, Canopy Rose was catering very large legendary sporting events for thousands of guests with event budgets in the mid five digit range.

Kathi Dameron knows a great bit about how to throw a successful sports hospitality event in Tallahassee, Florida.

Often asked to travel to away games, to cater tailgate parties, Kathi usually declines. It just seems right to use a local caterer if at all possible. This is not to say that Canopy Rose wouldn't consider the possibility in the future should the request be made. However, through our network of catering colleagues around the state of Florida and the nation, we would prefer to recommend a friend in the city where the game is being held.

During the summertime we generally begin fielding calls from corporate event planners and booster clubs requesting our services for the upcoming football season.
To check on Canopy Rose availability, call Kathi on her direct line at 850-539-7750
Go TEAM!
