Depends on the venue and how long people will be at the event. Will they all be there for quite a while or will they be in and out a lot, etc? Would you want to serve appetizers or meals or sandwiches? Pulled pork or brisket sandwiches? Seeing that you are in SoCal, tri-tip sandwiches? For appetizers you could serve MOINK Balls. sliders, etc. For meals you could have chicken and beef or pork in chafing dishes, plus beans, mac n' cheese, then salads on the side. Just don't leave hot food in the chafing dishes or the cold salads out too long or they start looking kind of bad and worn out. Better to have to re-fill the chafers, salad bowls, etc., than have old food out there for people. We always try to serve fresh food to our customers.
