Salmon or Steak....
....Chicken or Scampi?

Are these really the foods you
desire on your wedding day? Of course there are venues that have a select menu
that you have to ‘abide’ by. What do you really want….
I had been in
Monterey California for valentines one year. As we tried to get a reservation
on the water, we realized every place was booked. Walking up to our last resort
before McDonalds… it had a good menu, had good reviews… O, and an open table,
sounded perfect. It was the best meal ever! Well, at least most memorable. Memorable enough
for us to go back to that same place, just to have that same dish every year. I’m
not talking about a steak, not talking about an overly sauced fish. It was a
seafood fettuccini pesto -alfredo. I mean this stuff was good. I know what you’re
thinking…. That doesn’t sound like a wedding dish. You know, you’re right, but it’s
our favorite dish! Your wedding is 3 parts what you want, 1 part pleasing the
guests. You can take a memorable dish, make it a side, and make it a main dish
option. If it’s a buffet style, there you go. I’ve attended many weddings where
it’s the standard chicken with rice and greens. I am not on a soap box here,
but I honestly can make that at home in less than 30 min, and I don’t have to
pay $20+ a plate for it. Take YOUR favorite food and make it a guest at your
wedding. Even though it might turn into nosh, not entrée, your guests will be a
part of a special memory…
