Catering in a 2020 World

Catering is not like running a restaurant. It is so much more. I am never sure exactly what to expect. Sometimes the kitchen is not exactly what one might call a kitchen. A two burner stove, well went dry, and where is that dish detergent? You have to be prepared for anything. Now that I have my fancy “Duck Truck” I carry everything with me. I am rarely caught by surprise. Flowers and greens to add to platters, “To Go” boxes, yup, we have that.

Then came 2020. I have had to rethink everything, which frankly is not a bad thing. My cookie platters are now in individual bags, tied with ribbon to provide a no contact dispersement. Catering is not just dinner to go. It is the total package. A beautifully set table, gorgeous plates, candles lit, platters served by incredibly trained staff. Best yet, everything is cleaned up before we go. That still happens with a few changes. Those crab cakes you rave about are served in cupcake liners, that cheese platter you are craving is now manned by a staff member, those sliders are now served to you. It really is ok.

The mini weddings are my jam! I love creating a spectacular spread, for 30 people instead of 300. Now, after COVID, when everything is safe, would I welcome that big party? You Bet!! But right now 30 is fabulous. We have noticed the stress level has plummeted from the bride, groom and family. We get to spend that extra few minutes making things shine from the smallest detail on up.

We hope you will still have that micro wedding, that small family dinner, a socially distanced gathering. Call us! We are happy to help out no matter what size of party you need help with. From sides to cookie platters we have your back!
