still in the middle of watching the video,i will comment after the video. your title caught my attention. not sure if the lady is your moms,but i love her already.
I have a wedding to do a drop off service for. 160 people. I’m not “catering” because I will also be in attendance. The venue has a kitchen. How soon would you start cooking and prepping? Menu is Herbed Salmon, Chicken Marsala, mashed potatoes, baked Mac, green beans, tossed salad… Cocktail hour is meatballs, charcuterie board and tea sandwiches. Any advice con keeping things warm for the servers would help
What is the easiest way to serve guest?? seated or buffet. Want it to be elegant but not pulling my hair out. Have done less formal event and buffet was easy...but that was for BBQs and church picnics not a formal wedding. Any advice???
Buffet 100%. If you are going to serve you are going to need a ton of man power. You need 7 servers and 3 people to prepare plates per 100 people you serve.
Mike Dancy LoL 😆 I guess it matters what size box Cheerios you buy😆😆 . . Had to ask you what your opinion is on this series. I’m still trying to make them as fun as possible just trying to offer more knowledge and niche down a bit more.
@@KostasLazanas I like the information type of videos. Maybe go into some detail about how you judge how much food you require for how many people or if these gigs are more profitable then running a restaurant etc.
@KostasLazanas Thank you. I stumbled across your video today. Then I watched 6 in a row. 🤗 im catering an event for 100 ppl in February and your daily prep helped tremendously! Thanks for sharing so much valuable info.
Can you like, actually show the process of cooking your batches and what you're going for and how you make sure you have enough food for the guests. i'd say this is a 101 and NOT a MasterClass tbh
Thank you! Have my first small event 50 ppl. Nervous but feeling confident now! Thank you thank you thank you.
I hope I have you some tips. Remember hurry up and wait!
LOVE this series, watching them all!! LEARNING LOADS. Thank you!
Merry Christmas 🎄 thanx for watching.
If you need to ask that, you're not ready to cater anything. You absolutely have to have the experience in catering to be half decent at this
Great lam chops. A fun place to go.😊
OMG! you're here in Texas! I'll have to drive up 45, to visit your tavern.Your website looks delicious. new sub!

Ok made me hungry now! Gotta have Greek!!! See OPA soon!!!
Is the an easy way the carry the chafing dish to and event? For the ones that do not collapse? Especially when you need a lot of them. Any advise
What kind of napkins did you use for the chaffing dishes so they wouldn't catch fire during service?
Just regular cloth dinner napkins. There is plenty of space between the flame and napkin. No problems in 10 years.
You’re hired

I’d start prepping the day prior. Especially the potatoes and Mac and GB’s and salad. Do the chicken morning of. Bring sides to temp day of.

Do you warm up everything beforehand and then bring it in those green boxes? How long will that stay warm and to what temp do you heat it? Thanks!
Yes. Do a temp check to at least 165 and drop them in the cambro holders.
My culinary class
I hope it helped
how many wedding guests can I cater with a Keurig single cup coffee maker and a box of Cheerios?

Hello. Do you worry about the cloth catching fire so close to sternos?😮
I don’t. there is enough space. It has never been an issue for me.

So you and that nice lady (your mom?) set up and served the event? No waiters or pantry help?
It was a small 50 person wedding super laid back. I’ve had as many as 15 on when it’s a full service catering.
was that corn on the cob and sausages in gravy? seriously.....
Haha I don’t think so
Nice video
Hi are you Russian or Ukrainian?
Why you don’t show your food
It’s in the other 650 videos I made.

Am a chef student
oh...it's a ... buffet.
nice kitchen lmfao
Thanx soo much!
you know the wedding is trash when the caterer provides the silverware....
Every wedding has a budget
Thank you
