Wagyu vs. Moink Balls - Yuppie BBQ

Howdy...


Last friday i had a catering job that was slightly different from what i normally do.

Lets say it like this : The hosts arent really living anywhere near the poverty level - and they liked to show off to their guests

In the beginning it should be a rather small party with 35 guests but when people heard something about a special kinda BBQ it became 82 adults and 10 teens within a couple of days.

We started off with preparing hundreds of pieces of fingerfood at home and then went to the house with two totally packed trailers.



Nice tents were set up in the garden and our catering corner was fully equipped with two commercial coolers, stainless tables, sink, hot water and everything we needed.
After i fired up Suzy we set up the other grills - 4 char grillers and 2 mini and a smal big green egg and started prepping the rest.

Heres the Menue :









Okay, in Your language :

Starters :

-Pineapple Lollipops
-cream cheese stuffed Dates, wrapped in Bacon
-Moink Balls
-Atomic Buffalo Turds
-Wagyu Tenderloin slices on fresh grilled Naan Bread with salt, parmesan or chimmichurrie
-Loin Ribs with BBQ Sauce

Main :

-Cedar planked Salmon with honey lime glaze
-surf & turf - wagyu tenderloin steak and lobster or crawfish tail
-grilled gilthead fish with mediterranean spices and garlic butter
-bacon wrapped pork tenderloin stuffed with sun dried tomatoes, cream cheese stuffed peppers and mediterannean herbs and spices

Sides :

-grilled romaine salad with parmesan
-miniature asparagus with roasted pancetta and parmesan
-grilled mixed veggies ( eggplant, zuchini, bell peppers, onion, garlic, mixed with EVOO and greek seasoning
-grilled ciabatta with chipotle butter

Dessert :

-grilled Pralines

The beverages should be easy to understand.

The Host demanded that there had to be a full portion of every starter and main dish for every guest, so we ended up cooking more than 300 portions and hundreds of fingerfood pieces for 80 people.

The main ingredients were :

-65 pounds of australian prime Wagyu tenderloin
~140 lobster tails, 5 ounces each
~40 crawfish tails, 8 ounces each
-28 pounds of spanish "iberico" pork tenderloin
~46 pounds of salmon
30 racks of spanish serrano pig loin ribs
lots of giltheads



































































When the guests arrived i wasnt able to take as many pics as i wanted but
here are a few. It was a real PITA to grill all those different foods to perfection.














































The guests loved the food and finished almost everything - everone ate for 4 people so to speak. I didnt expect them to hit us that hard. I was sooo looking forward to leftovers....



Anyway, this clearly wasnt "my world" but its nice to have the experience once.

What i liked the most about this was that the guests liked the cheap ribs and MOINK-Balls just as much as the Wagyu Beef and lobsters. We must be doing something right then.


So long,
