A local business is having a small get together (40-50) in 9 days. Because of the holiday season, every building to rent is being used, so they asked to rent a friends building and asked him to cook as well. I've been wanting to start a BBQ venture on a very small scale mostly cooking the main dish for gatherings without actually catering an event. My friend asked me to cook. The customer mentioned burgers and dogs for his guests, which I have no problem doing, but the company he works for is very large and this small gig could turn into some major functions later on if I do it right. I don't get the impression he's wanting to "wow" his guests, just feed them. But in the end I'm either going to be the "caterer" or "the guy who cooked for us once."
Does anyone have any advice to make a statement without looking like I'm trying if burgers and dogs are what he wants? If that is the route he wishes to go I'm planning on offering beans and potato salad or slaw, drinks, and desert. Buffet style using disposable plates and silverware. I don't have a lot of prep time and any help or advice is appreciated. I'm diving into unknown waters here.
