Sarah 'Bunkie' Newton
Coop’s Table was founded by Sarah Newton with a simple belief: the best meals are the ones that bring people together—and that food should be both delicious and nutritious.
Rooted in Louisiana tradition and inspired by generations of communal cooking, Sarah built Coop’s Table around live fire, honest ingredients, and the kind of hospitality that makes guests feel like family. What began as a love for cooking over open flame grew into a catering experience centered on connection, craft, and time-honored techniques.
At the heart of Coop’s Table is a deep respect for tradition—especially Cajun live-fire cooking, including whole hogs prepared in a traditional Cajun microwave. These methods aren’t about shortcuts or trends; they’re about patience, skill, and letting fire and smoke do what they’ve always done best.
Guided by her philosophy of “delicious and nutritious,” Sarah creates menus that balance bold flavor with thoughtful sourcing and preparation. Smoked meats, complimentary sides, and carefully crafted accompaniments come together to nourish guests while still feeling indulgent and celebratory.
Whether it’s a wedding, private gathering, or community celebration, Coop’s Table is about more than the meal—it’s about creating moments. Moments where stories are shared, time slows down, and a table becomes a place of connection.
