I've got a wedding for 200 offsite at a really cool museum, the "only problem" is that the staging room is that....a room with tables and a few outlets.
The menu is a bear! 2 hours to haul in and set up.
Grilled cheese station (can you say 40 kids?) cojack, then a couple more adult verisons....but the gig is that it's kid friendly and they'll have food automatically at 6:30....the dinner buffet is at 7:30.
Passed hodos....4...
Then, even after two tastings the couple decided on HOT salmon instead of cold, carved leg of lamb instead of stew (even though they preferred the stew), chicken fingers ....gonna have to have a server on that.
mashed potatoes, rice, veg, salad.....Arrrgh.
So, I've got it now where staff sets up goes back to the kitchen and cooks off the salmon and lamb bringing it back in cambros..... Okey dokey...so now on to the chicken fingers....why oh why did I agree to them? Must have been the 40 kid thing and the choice of Salmon or Lamb...So instead of having 2-3 table top friers going I'm thinking of having a place in the area fry a mess of them and my staff picks um up right before service. thoughts? Less stress/hassle for my crew....
