ktgrok Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 (edited) ugh, nevermind. I got myself all excited, and just saw that place 2 doesn't open until noon on Sunday. And the party STARTS at noon, 30 minutes away. GRR! Small "sprinkle" recently. 10 people all together, IF everyone shows that RSVP'd. Several are very health concious/hippy type people, but not everyone is. These are the two menu options: Place 1: Sweet Tomatoes (Soup Plantation) (I pay by the person) Cesar Salad Asiago Chicken Wonton Salad 2 cold pasta salads assorted muffins Chocolate Chip cookies baked potatoes and toppings (really not into this for a luncheon..not sure if something else can be substituted) beverages..probably black tea and lemonade or Place 2: A local tea house that is very popular with a lot of this group Teas Sandwiches: Cucumber/cream cheese on white and wheat, Herbed cream cheese with walnuts and dried cranberries on fruit and nut bread, and sundried tomato/spinach/pesto on whole wheat. (serves 15) Premium Fruit and Cheese Platter: smoked gouda, havarti, irish cheddar, seasonal fruit (serves 12) Quiche: 1 4-cheese quiche and 1 tomato Basil Havarti (16 servings total) Herbal iced teas Place 1 delivers, and even with delivery is less expensive...but just not as "nice". Place 2 I'd have to pick up, but it is a local business that I enjoy supporting. I don't like spending the extra $60, and it is less food...but nicer. What would you do?

FaithManor Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Hate to say it becuase it's more expensive, but the second one definitely more appealing to me. But, I love cheese and I'm gluten free so while the sandwiches wouldn't work, the cheese and fruit would. I'm with you, topped baked potatoes are something I like to eat at night in cold weather, not particularly for a luncheon. Faith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktgrok Posted August 10, 2012 Author Share Posted August 10, 2012 POOP! I got myself all excited, and just saw that they don't open until noon on Sunday. And the party STARTS at noon, 30 minutes away. GRR! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Peregrine Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 They might work earlier for catering jobs. Call and ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Normally I'd say support your local businesses, but since they don't open in time, Sweet Tomatoes it is. I love them! I'm hosting a brunch tomorrow morning. *I'm* catering it (and have the Costco and Walmart receipts to prove it) It would have been easier to call someone else. Why didn't I think of that??????
