Baked Mac and cheese, shrimp and grits, collard greens, fish fry, fried chicken

It sounds like you already have some good ideas in mind! You know, most of what you list in a previous reply is available through BBQ caterers. We're doing Famous Dave's...they have baked chicken, potato salad, mac n cheese, collard greens, salad, and cornbread muffins. As well as other options that would fit your food theme! For a buffet with 2 meats 3 sides it's like $12/p.p. so you could probably afford to still bring in seafood salad and deviled eggs and just put it at a separate station or use it during cocktail hour. You might be able to order those two things through a nice grocery store deli.

I'd make sure nobody has a shellfish allergy before I chose seafood salad.

Hi Sherry! This sounds yummy! Have you been able to finalize your menu options yet? I would love to know!
