We were delighted to cater a luncheon for the Mental Wellness Center. The challenge was to have an entire luncheon at the table prior to the arrival of the guests. I designed a menu that would translate well for the format and maintain quality.
I pre portioned the main ingredients to facilitate a fast plating of the meal. In all, it took 35 minutes to plate the entree and dessert as well as fill and serve 400 glasses of ice tea and water. There were 200 guests expected so I had a crew of 18 to set tables, dish up and preset the luncheon ready 15 minutes before start time. The event was to last one hour including dining and presentation and we hit all the time marks. The main course salad was an Asian chicken salad with a sesame dressing and won ton crisps followed by a chocolate velvet cake with fresh berries.
