Types of Popular Food for Event Catering

by Kevin Smith Author

If you're looking for a Fort Worth catering service, these options can help you narrow what type of mouth-watering food to serve at your next event.

Asian Stir Fry

Stir fry is a popular catering choice because each guest can choose the specific protein, rice or noodles, vegetables, and sauce for their dish. You can select traditional favorites like pad thai or beef and broccoli. This level of customization creates numerous combinations to give everyone something a little different. If one of your guests can't eat spicy food, they can select sauces and vegetables to keep their taste buds from catching fire. Tofu is an excellent choice for vegetarians and vegans alike.

The Sandwich Bar

Sandwich bars also offer customization, but a more familiar lunch option that won't make anyone who likes to stick to American food favorites anxious. A good sandwich is a combination of bread, sauce, cheese, veggies, and meat (or a meat substitute). Sandwich bars will let you choose a number of options in each category, including, for example, wheat or white, cheddar or provolone, lettuce or sprouts, and ham or turkey. For anyone with a food allergy or specific dietary preference, these combinations create a good level of comfort. As long as you order a catering option that includes a vegetarian or vegan option, you're likely to be providing something that everybody will fancy.

Healthy Options

If you're catering to a group seriously invested in health and wellness (here's looking at you yoga teachers and physicians), you'll want to prioritize veggies, fruits, and clean proteins. For this group, you might want to invest in fruit and vegetable trays and choices of chicken or lean fish. You will also want to provide a number of different salad or dipping sauces.

Traditional BBQ

Everyone loves BBQ, and serving BBQ dishes during a special event is sure to make everyone relax and enjoy their meal. Around the country, each region has its own type of BBQ sauce and a great catering service will give you a little bit of everything. Ribs, chicken, sausages, and burgers are favorites for many people around the country. Plus, veggie burgers and vegetarian sausages are always hits with people who don't like to eat meat. Traditional BBQ sides like mashed potatoes and gravy, macaroni salad, and coleslaw are almost as good a the main course. When you look for a mouth-watering Fort Worth catering service, the BBQ option should be at the top of your list.
