Mr Pretzel and I love to eat. Catering tastings? Sign us up! We had such a great time tasting all the yummy food for our reception that I can’t figure out how we let a tasting with our rehearsal dinner catering slip our minds. We booked Lake Street Catering months ago, but it wasn’t until last week that I remembered that they had offered to do a tasting dinner for us.

That’s right “tasting dinner”, and not just for us—Lynn suggested that we invite friends over. SWEET! When I called last week to schedule something Lynn had an even better idea. “Is your mom local?” she asked, immediately followed by, “do you have plans for Mother’s day?” Yes and no. Lynn and Craig offered to do a miniature seafood boil for myself, Mr Pretzel, Momma Pretzel and two of our dearest friends.

I invited Bridesmaid H and her fiance T over. Momma Pretzel thinks of Bridesmaid H as a second daughter so it was special for them to celebrate with us. Lynn and Craig brought everything—the seafood boil, salad, dessert, plates and utensils—we just relaxed as they prepared what they told us was the smallest seafood boil they have ever done.

Pretzel Kitty Cassanova comes running once the seafood gets cookin’!

I love how they dump the food on the table to serve it!

And then we NOM!

And Nom some more. Happy Mother’s Day Mom!

In my mind this was the best way to do a tasting. I’m glad we could do this special for Mother’s Day.

We’ve finally met Lynn and Craig, we’ve tasted the food. We know for sure that booking blind was a safe bet in this situation. I can’t wait for our rehearsal dinner now. July can’t come fast enough!

Did your catering company go above and beyond the traditional tasting?
