"What Is That?"

"What Is That?"

I am absolutely amazed that there is still catering appearing on buffets with no description as to what it is.

In today's world of food allergies and the increased number of vegetarians, vegans, and "fruititarians" and other fad dietary trysts, it surprises  me that any facility, or caterer, would place food on a buffet without letting guests know what they may be putting on their plates and into their bodies.

I recently attended a function and the wife of a couple in front of me asked the question as her husband placed a fried ball of something on his plate;

 "What is that"
He picked up the small morsel, took a bite and replied.
"I'm not sure but it is pretty good."

Great to know that Mystery Food can be "pretty good" but that was luck, some grub can leave a really bad YECH on your palette if you choose to go into unexplored,or explained, gastronomical territory.

Come on Caterers and facilities, let's get with the program and get some labels on those buffets.

Might be nice to get away from the chafing dish too but, I won't go into that right now....

Cheers and good luck in the uncharted seas of buffet exploration!

Wedding Day Traditions

OLD SOUTHERN TRADITION WORKS!!  My bridal couple for today (11/10/12) was determined to have their wedding lakeside. 

A month ago they buried a bottle of bourbon (Makers Mark) at the wedding site, at Lake Lanier's Legacy Pointe, to bring good weather for the Wedding day and sure enough; after cold rainy weather this past few weeks....Today the forecast is sunny with a high of 71 degrees!
