Hello
With no formal settings or seating arrangements to fret about, your hosting duties at buffet stand-up luncheons can be fun and relaxed...as you let your guests help themselves!
However, keep the following tips in mind for an easy buffet lunch that can be enjoyed by everyone - as your guests mingle and roam around with drinks and plates in hand:
* Serve easy-to-eat food your guests don't have to cut, or handle. Even small snacks like chicken wings can be a big challenge to negotiate using one hand. If you are serving chicken try using the breast and cutting it into bite size pieces. Small precut sandwich triangles are a great idea. Small frozen hor d'oeuvres can be picked up at warehouse supermarkets like Sam's or CostCo - they taste good and are so easy to prepare and to eat one handed!
* Round foods can pose a problem. Tomatoes, olives or grapes roll off plates and on to the floor (or your just-cleaned carpet). If you happen to forget and serve your prize-winning Swedish meatballs, remember that toothpicks will keep any 'rollable' food stationary...and with pretty cellophane ends they add a festive touch to the food table.
* To keep guests coming back for more, the serving tables should be clear of chairs or any other tables that may tempt guests to linger...or block their path to the food. Extra napkins, plates, glasses and cutlery should be near the food. As guests wander they tend to lose plates and implements. A good safety tip: keep sternos or other open flame used to heat food away from anything ignitable, like paper plates and napkins! |
