Brunch catering suggestions

I'm hosting a brunch for about 40 people on the 19th of May. I need to get some light brunch catering done. Can any of you suggest a good place? Nothing too over the top...but I'm just drawing blanks. And I don't want to spend tons and tons. What's something a little more out of the box than a fruit tray at Publix down there?

Anyone? :idontno:

Thanks for all the suggestions!

I want to keep it kinda cheap...but chic. Do you think those guys are expensive? The catering companies? I reached out to Cowgirl Kitchen...They're getting back to me on Thursday. Anyone ever done their catering? :idontno:

I have had Cowgirls food, which was good but never catered. To keep the cost down you could do a combination cater/Publix....Order your casseroles from Cowgirl or purchase the quiche at Publix, very good by the way. Have publix do your fruit platter and have lots of mimosa, cranberry/vodka, etc....who will notice the food after a few drinks! :idontno:

Last brunch I had was a baby shower for about 25 people. It was New Year's Day at my house :eek: so I kept it simple. Franny is right -- those Publix quiches are always, always, ALWAYS a big hit! I also did a chicken/rice/broccoli casserole that I made myself, fruit and cheese from Publix, and a Publix cake. Done and done. Cater you some Cowgirl casseroles and head to Publix for the rest. :clap_1: They will be calling you Marthafunn the rest of the day!

Thanks for all the ideas! I talked to Drex and the bride's mother (co-hosts) and I think we may do a Publix/Cowgirl Kitchen combo. I think it's going to be most cost effective for us. And probably easiest.

I'll let you all know how it goes.

I'll post pics! :rolling:

You can't go wrong with a can of Vienna's, some saltines, some round steak (bologna) on Ritz Crackers and some RC Cola. :biggrin: I am guessing this affair is a little more upscale than this menu though. ;-)

Pea got alot of stuff from there when the baby was in a body cast. They did casseroles for her I believe....
BC, what a great memory you have! I hope it's not because I pounded that story into your head...:oops: But, yes, those girls were lifesavers for us; I'm eternally grateful!

(Our menu was herbed goat cheese and cucumber sandwiches on 7-grain bread; chive cream cheese, smoked turkey and fresh basil on cinnamon bread; lemon bars; fresh strawberries; toasted coconut and dark chocolate meringues; espresso buttercream cake and punch.)

No no no! I just remember feeling sorry for you having to care for him totally and him not enjoying the beach as much as he could have. You didn't pound at all girlfriend! I'm just goofy like that remembering stuff :roll:
