If you schedule at 2 pm or 8 pm, they will eat less food. How about a fiesta? A taco bar would be an option that hits between appetizers and meal- if you add chips and nacho cheese and sliced jalapenos, people can go toward either tacos or nachos- this also allows a sangria type punch, which is an inexpensive drink for a crowd. If done at a meal time, you add rice and beans- |

Hmm. One of the interesting things about the taco bar is that the toppings are basically the same as a baked potato bar. Would you picky eater like a potato bar with chopped BBQ beef or creamed chicken and mushrooms as one of the toppings? You could even do both- taco shells and potatoes... If not, maybe a Middle Eastern finger food bar with hummus and baba ganoush, pita and pita chips, olives, feta, stuffed grape leaves; cukes in yogurt; spanakopita and bakalava, which are expensive if you buy, but not too hard to make. Or a fifties theme with little smokies in jelly, dips and spreads, Velveeta queso, sausage balls, etc? |
