I've been searching for a caterer. What is with some of them? A few weeks ago I contacted 2- gave details and neither returned my call (I did not mention budget). So, I went back on the hunt. Found this awesome place, looks to be anyway. It's a cooking school. They have a lunchtime cafe and a bakery. The chef called me right back and was ready to tackle the challenge, heavy apps for an open house of people coming & going...around 80, but I only expect 60 or less (lots of out of towners or people I know just wont come) He said he could easily work with my budget of $500 and I'd have a proposal by next week. Amen!!! And he has lots of apps. Now granted, I may end up with PB & J but at least hes willing. LOL! He'll give me a set list of apps but I can change them - with a price change I'm sure.
If you'd like to look at the list and give me your thoughts of what you'd want. I'm a true midwestern girl - the closest I come to foreign food is chicken fried rice and I hate seafood so...maybe ya'll can help. I do know that he suggested shrimp so that's a yes on the menu already. (might be sandwiched between the PB & J)
