We are having one heck of a time deciding what we want to do for our menu. I like the idea of a sit down meal the best, but I dislike the way our venue offers it. They recommend that you do one meal for everybody, so it would likely be chicken to please everyone and keep cost reasonable (plus the roasted statler chicken in pan gravy sounds yup). If we wanted to give people an additional option, it would be $2 per person plus the extra headache of organizing who ordered what. This fee does not apply towards our minimum. All sit down meals come with a served salad, soup, and red velvet cake. If we only offered one meal to everybody (exclusion being vegetarians), this is the cheapest option.
Then we have the buffet option, we are allowed to pick 3 entrees (think, a chicken, pork and seafood dish), three accompaniments (pasta, potato and vegetable). This also includes the served, soup, salad and cake for dessert. This is This is slightly more costly than the served meal option.
