Birthday Dinner – 70 people
Those of us who live in catering land often talk about how much work goes into making our clients happy behind the scenes. Sometimes, it doesn’t seem real how long it can take to make a high quality dish from the moment of its inception to the second it’s placed on the table. This last minute birthday dinner for 70 people kept me running on my toes for a full week, but I found that once I arrived at the event the hectic pace slowed considerably and I was reminded just how much I love my job. There is a rhythm and a groove you fall into when catering….and I love it. I love it so much.
