Small Plate Stations Make-up a Hearty and Healthy Buffet

Sometimes it is more fun to have a few tastes then a single large buffet. This woman’s birthday party took place in a stunning pent house in the 1010 Midtown building; we wanted our food selections to be as chic and airy as the building itself.

Different textures in the furniture helped to highlight the amazing windows in this penthouse!

Guests were invited to enjoy the hostess’s favorite cocktails at a “GIN ‘n JUICE” BAR; there they were served “The Double D” – Chilled White Wine and “The Down ‘n Dirty” Gin Martini.

Station #1: Salmon, Two Ways serving smoked salmon tartar presented in a potato chip bowl & seared salmon on sauteed bok choy

Salmon Fillets

Station #2: A standing Mirror Holding “Stuck-On” Individual Seared Tuna Sashimi Salads

We also used standing shelves to supplement the mirror

Station #3: Chicken the View! Serving chicken lettuce cups with cilantro yogurt and seared chicken pot stickers with Ponzu sauce

A room with a view and stations with substance!
