Catering

Last night we pulled off another fine catering event. It was a high school graduation party and the kid had total control of the menu. It went something like this:

Roasted Beef Tenderloin w/ Horseradish Sauce & Rolls
Asian Chicken Wings
Hickory Smoked BBQ Pork Ribs
Foccaccia w/ Chevre, Sun-Dried Tomatoes, & Roasted Garlic - Peppercorn Sauce
Mushroom Caps Stuffed w/ Artichoke Hearts & Pecorino Romano Cheese
Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes w/ a Lemon-Chive Aioli
Shrimp Cocktail
Crudite w/ Boursin Dip
Fruit Plate w/ an Orange-Ginger Yogurt Sauce
Bruschetta

I think that was it and I have to say that it all worked out well. The people, about 40, seemed more than happy and hit us up for business cards and recipes all night. Of course we are not really an official catering operation at this point, so taking more business is a tricky situation. I really do not want to get too deep into another business at this point, but when done right catering is a very profitable enterprise. We will probably rent a space soon and take the leap, but I'm definitely keeping my day job. Recipes for all of this to follow.
