hey guys,
BASIC QUESTION:
I’ve never done any type of local vendor type event yet (just catering so far), and just trying to mainly get advice on what food offerings I should consider doing.
MORE DETAILS:
I recently started catering, and got invited to a Chamber of Commerce hosted “Holiday Boutique” event. There will be 40 business type vendors and I’m one of just 4 food vendors.
I’d prefer to keep it real simple, like 2 meats 2 sides total. What are the real crowd pleasers? Should I just be doing like a pulled pork or brisket sandwich option, or should I do meat plates???
I do want to say that this is sort of the “introduction” of my business to the local community, so I do want to impress, even if it means I don’t make as much profit as usual. I don’t love the idea of sandwiches, cause I’m sort of a meat alone purist, but I don’t have the experience to be able to say if I’ll just be shooting myself in the foot.
Bonus question:
This is a city hosted event. There are 70 people marked as “going” on the FB page and another 450 marked as “interested”, it is and will be pretty widely advertised in the local community. Any ideas on what I should pannfor quantity wise?
