Help par down my menu!

AleciaB11

All right - our current menu seems a bit unwieldy. We're having a brunch reception and the ceremony and reception are being held on a 3-masted schooner. We think we're going to have about 80-100 people and the food area is really pretty small. I'm concerned that we have too many different things! I'd love some suggestions about what to get rid of :-)

mini ham croissants

mini quiche

scambled eggs with cheese

mini fruit kabobs

grilled vegetable platter

cheese platter

roasted potatoes

honey gingered chicken kabobs

peach and mozerella bruschetta

mini mahi and lobster tacos

antipasta skewers

thai chicken satay

beef filet with red onion chutney on bread rounds

It just seems like a lot to me!

Oh, and there's a puff pastry platter - they're filled with like chicken salad, tuna salad, etc.

That is kind of a lot.
I think I wouldn't offer both of the chickens, maybe just the kabob, and I would probably do the puff pastry over the ham croissant, but other than that I think it looks good. It gives your guests who have different dietary needs a nice variety.

Those are the two cuts I was thinking about, too.

I think it sounds great. I'd cut the scrambled egg dish if anything. It seems the most random. Everything else sort of fits into this "hors d'oeuvre" sort of theme and the scrambled eggs don't.

I would get rid of the scrambled eggs and the cheese platter.

I'd cut the scrambled eggs too...it seems so 'brunchy' with the quiche and eggs til you see there are items like mahi and lobster, which kicks up the whole meal. And unless the beef is seriously delish, I think you'd be ok without that too! Everything else seems to be very 'in theme' with everything else
