Ashley Furniture HomeStore Offers Savvy Food-Serving Ideas for Buffet-Style Dinners
(firmenpresse) - ARCADIA, WI -- (Marketwire) -- 12/03/12 -- With formal sit-down dinners giving way to more casual styles of dining, holiday buffets are becoming more and more popular, especially if you're playing host to a large group of family and friends.
"For many busy families, gone are the days of formal sit-down gatherings at the dining room table," says Brenda Dillon, VP of Merchandising. "During the holidays, people often drop in anywhere from late afternoon to late in the evening -- making buffet-style parties the perfect choice. And with the right space and a little planning, it's easy to bring everyone together."
In order to pull off a successfully holiday buffet, it's important to keep your guests' comfort in mind. Here are 10 savvy food-serving ideas that'll make your holiday party go off without a hitch:
1. . Instead, repeat the same food on both sides the .
2. . A cart, table, or sideboard helps avoid congestion.
3. . It makes moving through the holiday buffet line easier and faster. Appointing or hiring someone to serve drinks makes guests feel extra special.
4. . Avoid flimsy paper plates and choose napkins large enough to cover the lap.
5. . Place clean plates and cold items at the beginning of the buffet, silverware at the end.
6. . Your guests will appreciate not having to cut food on their lap!
7. . Utensils that are rolled in a napkin are easier to carry. Secure it with a holiday ribbon and place endwise into a glass, mug or pencil cup for easy pickup.
8. . Be sure to pre-cut pieces off cheese blocks and break grapes into small clusters.
9. . Or label everything restaurant-style with a folding card or flag.
10. . This lets guests stay seated and relaxed.
