You remember the term "banquet" right? Banquets are those big events with round tables that sit 7-10 people, large quantities of food, and a large guest list. You usually find banquet style catering at events such as weddings and corporate events.
Food service styles vary from informal buffets in which guests prepare their own plates from a large selection of food to pre-determined meals served to each guest individually by a hired wait staff. Our North Country catering will be able to provide a consultation to help any event or party planner figure out what kind of service would be most appropriate for the occasion. The most important aspect to consider when planning a banquet is the kitchen of your event location.
First step is to examine the kitchen of your location. The kitchen will obviously need to be large enough and have enough equipment to meet the needs of your event. The right kitchen will also help the catering staff stay happy, efficient, and effective.
Isaac’s Catering team of Food Service Professionals has served and developed relationships with more than two million people since their inception eight years ago. With over 90 years of combined experience on our staff, we have maintained a goal of exceeding the expectations of each customer.Whether you desire pick-up, delivery, or full service with equipment, one call will end your anxious moments for all of your catered events.
Isaac's Catering can be as innovative as you like when considering the many banquet catering options. A few options to consider include the amount of staff to meet the needs of the guests, the decorations, the linens, and centerpieces used. The overall objective is to host a successful event and a good caterer can assist you in planning all the details.

Planning a Corporate Event
You have been chosen to host a corporate event for your company, now what do you do? You know the old saying, "never mix business with pleasure", except in this case. The following tips will assist you in making everything turn out perfectly.
The first, and probably most important part, of this corporate event is the food. Often, the success of the entire event is based on the quality of the food. Alleviate your work load and hire a catering service. When you hire a San Diego catering service to cater your corporate event, you allow yourself and your co-workers the opportunity to plan and focus on the many details and the intention of your corporate event.
Before calling the caterer decide on the mood of the corporate event. Is it going to be casual or elegant? Do you need the catering service to assist you with a venue. A quality catering service can provide all the amenities such as tables, chairs, and tents, to make your corporate event as successful as possible. You want to ensure that your corporate event is not only enjoyable but also memorable.
Consider the following points:
* What is your event’s intention? Do you want to reveal a new service or product? Perhaps your corporate event is a thank you party for clients and vendors?
* Prepare your guest list and set a date and time. Traditionally, two and a half to three hours is appropriate for a corporate event.
* Design your invitation and request an RSVP.
* Consider hiring a bartender if you plan to serve alcohol. Make certain your bartender is covered for liquor liability insurance.
* Think about your menu options and discuss them with your catering service. Consider your guests that may have special dietary needs.

Flavor Up Your Corporate Event
A well run corporate event can make or break a business, so why not offer the best food and professional service available. Food is certainly not the most important thing at an event such as this, but it can add just the right touch to make your clients or business partners feel more comfortable and willing to conduct the business that they are there for. The food, however, should match the type of event that is taking place. You probably don't want turkey sandwiches and hot dogs at a black tie event, but you also wouldn't want food that is too fancy or delicate for a simple lunch meeting.
Isaac's can offer meals and appetizers whether your corporate event is at night and includes full dinner service, or if it is just a quick meeting where people would just like to nibble on some starters. For full meal service, Isaac's can provide all of the amenities that you need from waiter service, bartenders, busing and even a DJ if you need one. Their professionals in these areas have tons of experience and will make your event be of the same high professionalism that your company wishes to portray. No need to worry about planning for all of the little things yourself, Issac's can do all of the hard work make let you make sure that business is going well.

Appetizers as a Main Dish
Many parties and events aren't setup for a full meal service. Sometimes there aren't tables for sitting and eating, the event takes place at an awkward time in the day, or the event is simply not long enough to warrant full meal service. Appetizer trays are perfect for occasions such as these. Sometimes a little taste of everything can be better than any big meal. For a party or event where people will be on their feet, appetizer trays offer tastes and treats to dazzle your guests without weighing them down.
Often refereed to as hors d'oeuvres, plates of small (often bite size) appetizers are great for certain occasions. Especially at events where guests will be on their feet and mingling with others, hors d'oeuvres allow everyone to satiate their hunger without being encumbered by large plates or overly full bellies. This works especially well at short afternoon events or for quick business functions at the end of the day. Casually served appetizers all for your event to proceed without all the distractions a large meal or banquet can bring.
Hors d'oeuvres also have another benefit over full meals, variety. Catering companies like Isaac's Catering offer many different options for appetizers such as Miniature Lump Back Fin Crab Cakes with Roasted Garlic Aioli, Mushroom Caps Stuffed with Italian Sausage, Beef Skewers with Teriyaki and BBQ Sauce, Shrimp and Scallop Ceviche served on Won Ton Spoons and Jicama Triangles with Spicy Crab Meat Salad. It would almost be impossible to get this much variety in a single meal at a restaurant or regular party. A party or event of appetizers can not only be convenient but full of variety and flavor.

The Perfect Party
There are many different components that make up the perfect party. The music should be upbeat and danceable, the decor should be flashy but at the same time elegant, the guests should be upbeat and ready to have fun, the food should be plentiful and delicious and perhaps most importantly, none of it should look like it requires much effort.
As a host you should be the center of the party. If you decide to cook your own food, then you have already taken yourself out of the equation. Cooking, plating and serving food requires a lot of time and effort. A catering company can provide all of these services for you and make it look effortless. Catered food also comes with the benefit of being delicious. Professional chefs have the experience to know exactly what works and what doesn't for whatever the occasion may be.
With a fully catered affair you can focus on your guests instead of all the complications that come with cooking and serving food. You can mingle, dance, eat or whatever it is that you would want to do at someone else's affair. Not only will you be able to have fun, but you will look like an expert party thrower to all of your friends and associates. Catered parties by Isaac's Catering are a professional and affordable option for your next perfect party.

More Trends in Catering
Full service catering events are not nearly as popular as they once were and have been replaced by buffets and strategically placed stands serving a variety of delicious finger foods. Not only does this reduce the actual amount of food to be prepared with large quantities having to be thrown away, but it reduces the cost of wait staff to a minimum, the hiring of tables, tablecloths and napkins, cutlery and crockery.
Desserts are always the most popular part of any menu, but more recently the accent has been put on fresh fruit options and small, individual sweet bites, as opposed to the rather dated full sized offerings like whole crème caramels, large servings of chocolate mousse or huge slices of cake. It is a known fact that most people only have one or two spoons of any dessert and the rest remains on the plate to be thrown away, so bite sized offering are much more economical and less wasteful.
Luncheons are always easier on the pocket than dinners, when one compares the same menu for both events. The number of daytime celebrations is on the rise and one of the reasons for this is that it is a natural limiter of guest numbers; and not that many people drink in the middle of the day, so alcohol costs are kept down to a minimum.

How Catering Works
If you have ever attended a large event such as a wedding, sweet 16, business event, or fundraiser you have probably experienced the wonders of catering. Catering seems pretty straight forward, you cook it and serve it right? That is only the bare minimum a catering company provides for their clients, but there is a whole lot more to the catering process.
Food is definitely the star in the catering world, but it is only part of the equation. Most catering companies today offer event planning along with their cooking to enhance the overall quality of the event. With the evolution of the catering industry from simply just food, but to full-service event planning the shift towards the overall experience has also changed. Caterers want the whole venue to appeal to all the senses: sight, smell, sound, taste, and touch.
With the right combinations caterers can create an event that really does appeal to all the senses. And yes, the food is an important aspect that can appeal to sight, smell, taste, and possibly touch, but it is not solely responsible for the overall atmosphere of the event. Caterers generally want everything to fit together, from the food and decor, to the glassware that will be used, from flatware to flowers, from table cloths to music, everything should combine to create a unified overall experience.
Isaac's Catering is a company that is a master at creating this overall unified experience for their clients.

Choosing the Right Wine for Your Event
Wine can be a special and important part of an event that you wish to host. But, likeing wine is different than knowing wine. In order to put together that successful event, finding out about wine choices will help raise the bar at the event.Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the most popular of the red wine variety. Typically, the longer this wine is able to age, the more aromatic and flavorful the taste becomes. Although, lesser quality cabernet is ready to go right away and can easily satisfy. The grapes used in this wine are called Bordeaux, which has the classic notes of black-currants, cedar, cigar boxes, pencils, mint and dark chocolate.
Merlot was a branch off from the more traditional cabernet sauvignon. Merlot´s popularity is because it is softer, fruiter, and earlier maturing than Cabernet Sauvignon and displays some of the same aromas along with mint, and tobacco.
Pinot Noir is a great selection that has a silky texture and a smooth sensation. Although, a lot of pinot noir is a hit or miss. You will either love it or hate it. A good mature Pinot Noir has complex flavors of strawberries, raspberries, cranberries, violets, all-spice, tobacco and hay. Pinot Noit is also one of those wines that needs to remain cold, as the heat can bake together the flavors and produce a bland wine.
Zinfandel wine is used from grapes that come from California, although the orignal location is still disputed today. Zinfandel offers the feeling of warmth and has a spicy conviction. With many varieties available, from white to a dark pink, try a bottle that is not more than a few years old, as this is the peak of its flavor.
Picking wine can be a tedious task indeed, but with help from Isaac's Catering it can become a breeze. At you next even, allow Isaac's Catering to help you make it a success, and provide you with all the services you will need!

Food Tasting: Choosing the Right Food
Advice you will probably receive from everyone about your catering for your wedding day is "TRY THE FOOD FIRST". Most caterers will host a tasting before you make the contract, while some require the contract and a deposit beforehand. Here are some reasons that tasting with your caterer is important:
1. Tastings give you the freedom to choose exactly what you want presented on your big day. It's also a great way to spend some time with your caterer top discuss the elements of your wedding. Don't be afraid to ask questions!
2. Plate presentation can be as important as the food itself. Ask the important questions about the service. Is the dressing for the salad on the salad itself or on the side? Are all the courses delivered at once or in succession?
3. Caterers also like to perform tastings with their clients, not only does it help them develop relationship with the bride and groom but it also gives them valuable feedback on their service. Be sure to share questions, comments and concerns, as well as honest opinions on the food.
4. Most caterers charge for tastings (though this cost may be absorbed into the overall charges for the event). Be sure you understand the charge before you schedule the tasting, so you're not shocked later on.
5. While food is no doubt a big consideration, don't forget to also base your decision on other factors such as the services included and the chemistry between you and the caterer. You will be working together, so it's important that you get along.
With Isaac's catering they are excited to have the opportunity to perform tastings with you and your wedding party! Check out Isaac's catering and get a chance to taste their delicious food!

A Delicious Cake
The cake at your event or party presents itself as an artful and tasty expression. There are quite a few things to consider in the cake planning process with your caterer:
Will your caterer custom make your cake for you? As you look at the photos of your caterer's history of cakes, decide if their portfolio matches what you want. You also want to know how the cake is made, is it from a box or are the ingredients and cake itself made from scratch? Find out what the price per serving is, as the price varies upon size and decorations.

Do your research and find out is there is an extra charge for cake toppers such as columns or pillars. Find out when and where these rented parts need to be returned.
Many shapes and sizes are available to ensure you get the perfect cake from your caterer. A square or round cake can usually be cut more easily and serve more guests. Choose a multi-flavored cake such as marble, lemon, carrot, spice and even cheesecake. Fillings include raspberry, coconut, strawberry, lemon, mocha and white chocolate cream. Icing on the Cake – Most caterers will offer a traditional white icing, butter cream, cream cheese, white chocolate icing, or rolled fondant.
When it comes to decorating the cake your choices are endless. Caterers can decorate cakes with the look of embroidery, lace, appliqué or elegant drapes.

Corporate Catering Liability
All corporations, regardless of size, have needed to organize business meetings with managers, customers, vendors, and instructors. The organization of these meetings, most often, is delegated to an administrative staff person with no food service experience, who is expected to provide foods that are impressive, fresh, meet all expectations (stated or unstated), and maintain a budget that normally is spelled out after the fact.
Below is a suggested criteria for qualifying service providers and protecting your corporation from any unnecessary liability challenges:
1. Before a caterer is considered, a Certificate of Liability Insurance and Workman's Compensation should be requested and checked for appropriate coverage. Two million dollars is normally sufficient. Should there be a challenge with all attendees of the meeting becoming ill, it is important to know that your corporation does not get hit for the liability exposure.
2. Has the kitchen generating the food for your event been inspected by the California Health Department and what grade did they receive.
3. Have the persons preparing the foods passed a Food Handler's Certification Course and certified by the State of California.
4. How will the food be delivered and what insures that the temperature of the food will be appropriate arriving at your site? Many caterings are currently being delivered in pick-up trucks.
5. Do you receive a computer driven invoice for your catering previous and at arrival? Handwritten invoices are a warning flag that Sales Tax and Workman's Compensation numbers are not going to be accurate. If the delivery person would happen to injure himself or herself while delivering, there is a strong possibility your corporation would share, if not assume all, the liability.
6. Take an hour and tour the kitchen un-announced. Having been in the food service business the last 35 years, I can assure you that your selection process becomes very easy at this step.
7. Meet those that process your catering orders. A healthy relationship with your caterer will go a long way to getting exactly what you want consistently.
