Foods to Avoid at Your Next Lunch Catering Event in Calgary

Hosting an event comes with its share of responsibility and stress when choosing the correct foods to serve at the event. People remember with their taste buds. As such, you hope your guests will rave about the meals you served, but here are four foods to shun at your next lunch catering event.

#1: Overly Bizarre or Exotic

Sure, you might love to dance on the adventurous side of food once in a while, but the appreciation for this might be lost on guests who don’t like surprises. Save the adventures for a less important time to ensure your guests enjoy their time at the event.

#2: Risky Foods

You might enjoy the intricate flavours of raw foods, but with a Calgary catering event, you might want to adopt a more conservative approach. Keep the raw meats, eggs and  raw fish off the menu because the last thing you want to hear is how a guest got horrible food poisoning from the sushi.

#3: Messy Foods

It doesn’t take much thought to figure out the “why” on this one. People can accidentally spill a drink or food on a fancy dress or a tuxedo, and you want to take this into account. Foods like barbecue ribs can leave an ugly red stain on clothing.

#4: Don’t Choose Elaborate Foods

For example, foods, where the chef set the food on fire, doesn’t belong at a lunch event, especially if you have hundreds of guests. You want simple foods because the chef can serve your guests much faster. You can still choose the classy foods but make sure it doesn’t take too much preparation.

Now that you understand what to put on the catering company menu, you should have a better understanding of what catering is all about. Appealing to a broad audience should always be the top priority with your lunch catering event.
