The creator behind Marcy Green
Marcy shares the spotlight.
Dawn Drouillard grew up in Grand Marais on the North Shore of Lake Superior. A descendant of the Grand Portage Band of Ojibwe, she ran the kitchen at the Angry Trout Café, cooked for offshore sailing crews across the Great Lakes, earned a scuba Divemaster certification in Indonesia, and eventually landed in Minneapolis to cook fine dining at the Loring Café.
In 1999 she founded Fabulous Catering and spent twenty-two years creating the premier catering company that set the standard for excellence in the Twin Cities Metro. Not only did she create custom menus for every client, each event handled with care, but she and her team mentored hundreds of staff who delivered exceptional customer service for over two decades.
Today she cooks for private dinners and small events, with an emphasis on clean eating, sugar-free, organic and specialty diets. She styles food for the camera and creates every Marcy Green product by hand. Her cooking style has grown out of her healthy lifestyle and respect for our ancestral foods, which also forms the basis for her food sovereignty work and decolonized approach to leadership.
Marcy lends the mystique. Dawn is the real life creator.
