Lobsters, crabs and other commonly catered critters have a new nemesis in St. Helena.
Tida and Courtney Menegon have launched Menegon Catering. Once the pandemic subsides, they hope their venture will prove successful in a town that loves its lobster feeds, crab feeds and barbecues with tri-tips and whole-roasted pigs.
âWeâre extremely excited and passionate,â Courtney said. âWeâre ready to put our catering imprint on the Napa Valley.â
Tida spent 15 years working for Sorensen Catering under âLobster Kingâ John Sorensen. Heâs concentrating on his job as St. Helena fire chief and wishes Tida the best as she launches the new venture with Courtney, her wife.
