Robert Dorsey Catering and Events

Perhaps I shouldn't be reviewing but I could not help but notice the photo of the spoon and assuming this is a passed hors d'oeuvre. I do realize that this is a trend amongst certain catering companies. It's an old idea and one that is even worse than the oversized apps of years past. But... Loaded spoons? At an event? Really? Why? Do you REALLY want to offer such items at, say, a wedding to a Bride or guest wearing their absolute finest? No. Wrong. This is one of the worst offenses that any full service caterer can do at ANY event, certainly an upscale or special event. I hope this was a special request and not the norm as it is a terrible idea. Likey this is a great company but this sort of carelessness is bothersome and I feel compelled to warn clients to reject having items passed that are extremely likely to cause a guest to have his/her clothing stained or slopped on by someone's poor judgement. I don't, however, fault the company so much... considering such ridiculousness is not too uncommon amongst catering companies. I am just posting this to bring this to the attention of prospective clients so that they are aware and will select something that is not so inappropriate. In fact, this was once a common trend that was short-lived once the major downside was realized. As a general guideline, Hors D'Oeuvres should follow the "one bite"rule. The goal being to have a greeting, to showcase and to offer a tasty bite. The meal follows later. You don't want to begin an event by having a guest wearing food before the event really begins. Just sayin'... You've been advised.

Chef Dorsey is awesome! His food is always great. I've never been disappointed whether using his services for a large scale event, private dining or his meal kits to-go.
