PASSION, TRADITION & BIG EASY FLAVOR
Northern NOLA (NN) Catering Company is owned and operated by Executive Chef Kris Butler. Based in Rochester, NY, we bring authentic New Orleans Cajun culinary heritage to Western New York.
From The Big Easy to Rochester, NY
Northern NOLA was founded on a simple promise: serve generous portions of genuine New Orleans soul food prepared with uncompromised quality, authentic seasonings, and true Southern warmth.
Chef Kris Butler spent years mastering traditional Cajun roux-making, seafood boils, slow-cooked red beans, and Creole spice blends. Recognizing that Rochester lacked an authentic NOLA culinary sanctuary, Kris established Northern NOLA at 222 Alexander Street.
Today, Northern NOLA serves as a beloved hub for local diners seeking our famous Friday Fish Fry, Miss Tina's Seafood Gumbo, custom social event catering, and weekly chef-prepared meal subscriptions for busy households.
