Passed hors-d'oeuvres present a unique opportunity for a caterer to shine. These tiny nibbles offer a chance to indulge in inventive presentations and utilize decadent ingredients in a way that dinner service often can’t. Trademark hors-d'oeuvres set the tone for an event, and may be remembered long after a beef, chicken, or salmon dinner is long forgotten.
Why serving passed hors-d'oeuvres is so difficult
But, hors-d'oeuvres also present a challenge, because a caterer only has two options for service. First, he can fill a tiny tray with his delectable creations, so that as the server circulates amongst the guests, each morsel is served hot. The inherent problem is that the server spends far too much time running back to the kitchen for refills.
Second, he can fill a large platter with dainty bites. Of course, the first several – served piping hot -- will illicit oohs and ahhs from guests. But, beware the sad guests who are served the last few pieces! They are sure to be lukewarm at best, ice cold at worst.
Adding to the challenge? A long trip from ballroom to banquet hall, outdoor event with unpredictable weather, frozen bites which melt, and cold foods such as oysters, which may become dangerous if they fall out of safe temeprature ranges.
Until now.
