Catering by Robert

When anyone is planning their wedding, catering is, of course, very high on the list. Since Catering By Robert only has their «Tasting Events» every other month, my son, daughter and wife were very anxious to check out their offerings. They expected the food, set-​ups and interest in the attendees to be at their best and prepared, primed and ready to show off their stuff. What a solid disappointment in every aspect.
Upon arrival, the hosts didn’t introduce themselves to the three groups present. They didn’t even ask who was the bride or groom («You can sit here, if you want»). My family didn’t witness the expected care and interest, as proven by the wrinkled tablecloths & napkin setups or the already-​burned candles on the tables. This felt like either no one was assigned the task to take care of the details, or they have been doing this for so long, they lost their caring attitude.
Now let’s head on to the food (it would have heen best to head on to the parking lot to leave instead.). The buffet line brought back memories of middle school cafeteria lunch. The only thing missing from the salad bin was the plastic Winn-​Dixie bag it probably was dumped from. Bins of bland standard sweet potatoes, red no-​taste kidney beans (!), and scary white boiled tasteless chicken were next in line. A bin of Hawaiian breadrolls was the delectable bread choice. The topper was a dish that contained chunks of various seafood product swimming in white water: no taste, depth or interest for miles on this one. The only minor salvage was a young guy slicing too-​thick chunks off a roast beef.
The hosts did their best answering questions, but, evidently the chef was too busy to show up for two hours every other month to proudly brag about the offerings.
The end of the event was as watery as the seafood soup: not a positive impression at all. Time to keep looking…
