Answer 1

Buffalo wings, Mini sandwiches, meatballs & cheese and crackers.

Answer 2

The hot wings would be liked better...but that means they will disappear fast too.  I'd go with the mini croissant sandwiches, a bunch of different chips and dip.  The sandwiches are less messy.

or

BUFFALO STYLE HOT WINGS - 100 PIECES $75.00

Answer 4

CHEESE & CRACKER TRAY- AN ASSORTMENT OF CHEESES W/ASSORTED CRACKERS - FOR 100 PEOPLE $95.00

MINI CROISSANT SANDWICHES STUFFED WITH ASSORTED BEEF, TURKEY & HAM - 100 PIECES $95.00

VEGETABLE TRAY W/DIP - 100 PIECES $75.00

FRESH FRUIT DISPLAY FOR 100 PEOPLE $95.00

I would do these because almost everyone likes these foods, but spicy foods and seafoods a lot of people don't like.

Answer 5

Buffalo style hot wings would probably most peoples 1 st choice:

However those pesky bones and the meat sauce would probably rule those out.

I'd go with the meat tray even though it's higher priced. Ditto for mini croissant sandwiches.

You could make your own vegetable tray with dip a Lot cheaper than the list price of $75.  Or just do celery and carrot sticks ( cut about 3 inches long) with dip.

If a group is diy for the event -wholesale Clubs such as Sam's or Costco is a less expensive alternative. Restuarant supply places that sell to the public  are a good source also.Party City sells trays, tablecloths etc and you need to figure these in your costs.

Me, I'd make the meat tray, celery, carrots, broccoli florets, cauliflower florets, vegetable tray with dip.

For fruit I'd do marachino cherries and pineapple on a frilly toothpick.

Ham and cheese cubes on a frilly toothpick.

Homemade chicken salad on whole wheat triangles or savory crackers.

Ditto on pimento cheese sandwich.

Fraction of price for what those listed include.

Just takes time!

PS: Use frilly or round toothpicks for the nibbles.

Answer 6

Cheese and Cracker Tray

Mini Croissant Sandwich tray

Vegetable and Fresh Fruit Tray
