Help us choose our wedding menu
My fiancé Kathleen and I are getting married in May and we’re now at the part of the wedding planning where we’re choosing the menu. The cake was an easy choice, if difficult to nail down. As it turned out, our wedding date was determined in large part by Charm City Cake’s availability. We have a “design appointment” with them in December, and I’ll be sure to blog how that process goes.
Now we’re looking at the dinner menu and we think we’re going with Main Event Caterers since they’re one of the few who don’t just give you the usual rubber chicken and instead customize a menu to your tastes. You can even give them your own recipes and they’ll make the dish for a 100. We’ve largely picked out most of the options, but I wanted to tap into the crowdsourcing power of the Crispy audience for some advice.
In the appetizer department, should we go with A) Two-Bite Black Angus Burgers with truffled caramelized maui onions; B) Crispy Man-n-Cheese Orbs with tomato jam; or C) Cubanitos: slow roasted pork and cured ham, melted swiss cheese, slather of mustard and dill pickles on grilled crusty Cuban bread?
And when it comes to a pork main course option, should we go with oven roasted pork tenderloin stuffed with madeira macerated fruits and served with a cherry port reduction, or pan seared pork tenderloin scallops served with a malta and soy reduction? Oh, and my dear vegetarian friends (if there are any who read this blog), would you rather eat some sort of pasta or grilled eggplant with roasted vegetables, shiitake mushrooms, tomato lavender sauce, and kamut-pine nut salad?

Man Marries Woman of Dreams, Eats Cheeseburger of Dreams in Same Day
Who needs a wedding cake at their wedding when they can have a GIANT cheeseburger? No one really eats the cake at weddings anyways right?
Well, Tom and Kerry Watts decided to forgo the traditional cake and opt for a 42-lb cheeseburger instead:
Mr. Watts says, “Not only did I get to marry the woman of my dreams but I also got to have the burger of my dreams in the same day.”
Sigh . . . isn’t love beautiful? Easy on the romance there, tiger. Good thing Tom and Kerry decided to love each other in sickness and in health, because, looking at McDonald’s nutrition facts – 100 quarter pounders with cheese would equal about 51,000 calories, my friends (of course, if the burger to meat to cheese ratio is the same).
If cheeseburger was for dessert, I wonder what they served for dinner . . . chicken nuggets and fries perhaps?
