My First Official Catering Job was a SUCCESS

[fishwrestler]

I have been doing BBQ and Whole hogs for sometime and we have done many a party for friends and family. Back In January I took the big step to officially becoming a caterer. I got my permits and found a commercial kitchen to work out of.

I have been selling take out once a month the last two month and landed my first official gig. It was tonight, a Groom's Dinner for 65. Pulled pork Baked beans, Coleslaw, Potato Salad and Ambrosia Salad. The Kitchen I am renting helped out and let me rent the Buffet Setting. Sorry no food shots but here is the table set up and ready for guest,.

I agree with JJ, quality is hard to come by these days!

On that note...my industry isn't looking too stable these days, might come knocking on your door when you're ready to expand!  ;)
