Restaurant & Foodservice Holiday Buffet Checklist

Whether it’s the next the holiday that’s always looming around the corner, a special event, or simply your next meal service–its never to early to start menu planning.

To help in your creative planning process Chef Tim has created a checklist of ingredients geared towards making your buffet presentation elegant and easy.

I am no stranger to buffet presentations. I understand the added stress levels of presenting holiday fare for hundreds of guests; all of whom come to your establishment with an appetite for great food and high expectations of that being delivered. This checklist is comprised of many items that I have personally used in the past; all of which have both presented well and alleviated much of the stress we take on in such days.
