CeramicChef Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 @Geo - how big a gathering are you and your Bride contemplating? Are you wanting something like finger foods, heavy hors d'oeuvres, or are you thinking a full buffet? What's your budget? Will anyone be available to help or is this all on your shoulders? Congrats on your pending nuptials! I'll circle July 16 on my calendar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted June 2, 2016 Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 Another congrats on setting the date. That's just around the corner, so not a lot of planning time. Is this a casual ceremony, meaning, are folks going to be dressed up for it? If so, you might want to stay away from the messier foods, like pulled pork or brisket sandwiches with BBQ sauce or Buffalo chicken wings. Think about assorted skewers/kabobs. Do all the prep a day or two ahead. Do them in shifts on the KK so there's always some on the table and are still hot. You can do an assortment of different things - meats (beef, chicken, lamb), seafood (fish, shrimp), veggies (squash, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, onion), and fruits (melons, pineapple, peaches, apples, all work well). Dry rubs keep things neat, but some sauces/glazes tighten up well under heat, like teriyaki or balsamic vinegar. The nice thing about kebabs is that you can just eat them off the stick, no utensils/plates, and most importantly, leave a free hand for a cocktail in the other hand!!
