Well I battled through my first big catering gig and it was a handfull.I catered a wedding for 75 and by and large it was a nice day(s) of cooking.Sorry for the lack of pics of finished food I was busy until the final bell.The menu was Tri-tip w/a Chimmichurri sauce(A big hit on the night)Lemon-pepper chickenbreast w/fresh garden herbs,roasted rosemary fingerlings,An Artichoke-sun dried tomato pasta salad and a green romaine salad.The appetizers were a bigger hit-ABT's stuffed w/two cheeses and carne asada,homemade Bruschetta,and seafood stuffed jumbo pasta shells.I hit the apps perfect for quantity about 1 1/2 per person and I was a little long on the tri-tip.The day was a lot of work,but the Big Green Egg was a hit and I have some people that are headed to purchase one.
The carne ready for the ABT's
These are sweet peppers for the people who like it less spicy.
The seafood mixture (sorry no finished pics)
A great venue to cook,beachfront and 77 degrees
18 Tri-tips were rubbed and Qued
It went well,ther is a learning curve for that big a group,landed to other cooks and the eggs are back home safe.

Dale,
Congrats on the catering gig. 75 people ! Sounds like you had been thinking and planning this for some time. I would have gone nutso. I liked your choices of food.
All 18 tri-tips went on the EGGs ? That is a fete in itself.
So is this turning into a business ? LOL
