It's NOT Just Lunch for Me

Meatloaf Thursday w/ the Mashed Potatoes Clearly taking center stage.

This past Thursday I serviced a lunch meal delivery for a start-up office that I most grateful for, Kitchensurfing. Lunches are 30 people in attendance and this particular week I was on my own for the delivery (sidenote: I am going to do a blog on just the procedures of showing up for an event w/ or w/o extra hands, unloading the vehicle, and arriving at the door of a Manhattan/Brooklyn (because at this point they are damn near the same scenario) apartment).

Anywho...the menu was simple and classic, yet as I found myself in the kithchen at 6am on Thursday morning, I thought, "Damn catering for a morning/afternoon event is a bit more stressful than an evening party/dinner". There is literally no time; wake up at the crack of dawn (even though we are preparing for a noon lunch service---and all of those diners are still SLEEPING!) , get it hot, and go!

And so I did.

The Menu:

• Slow Cooked Meatloaf w/ Handmade Sauce

• Crown Maple Glazed Carrots w/ Coriander

• Garlic Hericot Vert (fancy French Green Beans)
• Skin-on Mashed Potatoes
• Spicy Butternut Saquash Soup w/ Spiced Pumpkin Seeds.

Eat simple.
