Custom Appetizer Catering Menu
We prepared a custom appetizer catering menu for a client who needed something different from what we had created the past couple of years. Since we keep detailed notes on all our catered events, we were able refer to those and create something a bit different for this year. So, for this all-important event, held at the Eisemann Center for Performing Arts, we mixed it up a bit with different foods from different countries so they could have a bit of fun with it and… they did!
The menu featured Vegetarian, Vegan and Gluten-Free items that would satisfy numerous dietary restrictions, and we served some of the Cheeseball Pops without nuts for those who might have any nut sensitivity.

Breaded chicken breast strips stuffed with ham and melted Swiss cheese

The new menu was stellar, your staff is amazing and the entire presentation added so much to this important event for us. We had so many compliments on the food and I’m sure we will have opportunities to refer the company to others in the community.
