F&D board recs for reception food

1st and most importantly this should be open bar with the good booze not that crown Rousse crap
2nd No shrimp cocktail, no care
3rd if you don't get a taco bar when it is an option, you need to rexamine how you live your life.

Does your venue do a tasting every few months? Some invite all upcoming events to a dinner where the caterer puts out samples of everything. Best way to choose for own event is to taste it yourself. Do this if you can, I remember some stuff that sounded good was very actually bland.

I'd choose for myself goat cheese tartes, crab cakes, eggplant, brie, green beans and artichokes, and pork.
