Lets be honest....we're all just in this for the food.

    I for one have been to far too many weddings where you eat your typical chicken & rice or steak and potatoes....now don't get me wrong that food is good but I knew I wanted something more fun and delicious at my wedding. Originally Todd & I wanted to hire different food trucks that people could pick from because for one, truck food is typically unusual & so bomb, and we just like to have our options. We are totally that couple that goes to a restaurant and orders the 2 entrees we like most on the menu just to split them go halfsies on it. Little did we know that food trucks are SO expensive! Their prices are crazy and they don't even include place settings! We were a little disheartened and weren't sure which route to go. So I decided to suck it up and call a caterer at Ambassador Catering that I had used a couple times in the past for a few weddings I had done. She has great food and included linens, china, serving staff, etc...which is all things we definitely needed to cover considering our wedding is at our friends house and not your typical venue that usually provides all of that for you, so i knew it would be a win either way. Sarah and I had set a date to meet in march, however, that just happened to be the day I ended up in the hospital from my pulmonary embolisms...but she was super understanding and even came to the hospital to meet with me there! I told her my original vision of the food trucks and asked if she had different menu options so together we all came up with a sweet little menu. We are going to have three different food stations: 

The first is a "build-your-own" pasta station - this will included different noodles, sauces, and toppings to create your own pasta served with bread rolls and salad. And what kind of pasta bar would be complete without Todd's absolute favorite dish...Mac N Cheese

Secondly we are having a street taco station - this will have carne asada and chicken tacos with toppings and salsa served with beans and rice to accompany it. 

And lastly, a french dip sandwich station - this will have hand carved sandwiches to dip in a delicious au jus sauce complete with my favorite...a mashed potato bar! You can load up your mashed potatoes with all your favorite toppings! 

I can't tell you how pleased I am with our caterer! She is so well priced & so wonderful to work with! I can't wait to see how all this food turns out! I am going to end up in a food coma by the end of our wedding. You all better come hungry!
