The Reception

It’s Valentines Day, and though this “holiday” isn’t my fave, I have to admit … love is in the air. I went to five weddings last year — and got married myself. This year, there are already three big events in the works.

For me, one of the biggest concerns about our wedding was what to serve. I mean, as a founding foodie, I’d hate to disappoint my fans … err, guests!

So we’ve put together a little road map for how to pick the best caterer for your big day — or any event — to ensure you’re serving a crowd-pleasing meal. And on our quest to help you plan that perfect menu, we’ll also take a delicious detour to meet the man behind the meat (and everything else) at our wedding: Chef Mike Perry.
