the bar is to the left!
 
WOW RTD isn't perfect, wipe the sauce from the rim of the plate. I can't believe you allowed that to slip by you even for your pron.
:p

Just kidding, it does look nice and the trailer is cool.
 
i wasn't plating, man. i deliver to the kitchen and then i'm done. :biggrin:

and give us a break, man. it was the first time we've done something like that. 8)

Most excellent, dude. Great job.

Can we get more pics of your trailer? (sorry if I missed it in another thread)
 
Outstanding job! Looks really nice.

Actually, I'm glad to hear you didn't provide the plating service. Those mashed spuds look like they came from a school cafeteria with that 'scoop shape'.

Did you get any customer feed back?

In that situation I also would plate with a ice cream scoop, (quick and easy) however I would then go back and flatten each scoop down a bit with the back of a flat spoon or spatula to give it a bit less 'scoop like' appearance. Just press lightly and twist about 45'. This is something I would do at the same time I wipe the plates JUST before they go out for service. We only do this for more formal events. It takes about 3-5 seconds per plate to do it, but makes a world of difference in the presentation.

Please don't get me wrong. Your food looks WONDERFUL! And, I'm sorry if my cafeteria comment sounded harsh. IMHO when we get to the level of a rehearsal dinner, which in my area is considered a formal event, there is an expectation on the part of the client for a more sophisticated and refined dining experience.

Based on your pron, you delivered 5-star quality food. I was simply suggesting a way to reach 5-star presentation to go with it.

Again, GREAT JOB!
 
thanks, man. i was seriously looking for tips. i'm not running the show there, so i kind of have to go with the flow :biggrin:
