The holidays are full of warmth and good times with friends and family. They also make for a great time to celebrate the accomplishments of the year with your co-workers. Continuing with the recap of the bi-annual 1,300 guest corporate holiday party, in this installment of holiday happenings we will delve into the pasta, sushi, hot dog and appetizer stations featured at the event.
Pasta stations are a great way for guests to craft their own favorite dish with a variety of toppings, sauces and pastas. For this event we had two separate pasta stations to accommodate the large quantity of guests. For the pasta selection guests could choose from mini raviolis, penne, cheese tortellini and Fusilli. Sauce choices included pesto, marinara, vodka blush sauce, Alfredo and oil and garlic. The options were endless for guests to craft their own pasta creations with toppings including diced chicken, shrimp, crumbled sausage, prosciutto, peas, red and green peppers, asparagus tips, broccoli and Kalamata olives. Dishes were topped with a healthy sprinkle of parmesan and Locatelli cheeses and red pepper flakes at the request of the guest.
Our sushi chef Akio and his team were on hand rolling sushi throughout the event. Offerings included tuna Nigiri, salmon Nigiri, shrimp Nigiri, tuna rolls, California rolls, cucumber rolls and Futomaki. Customary accompaniments including wasabi, soy sauce and pickled ginger were on hand for enhancing the various rolls.
For fun, the company always has a hot dog and sausage station. There is something undeniably delicious about the South Philly classic Italian sausage, pepper and onion sandwich on a crusty roll and sizzling hot dog served on a potato roll with all the essential toppings. Even with all of the other delectably delicious options, this was a hit among guests.
The appetizer station featured over 10 favorite fried items accompanied by sauces and dips. Italian meatballs and mozzarella sticks with marinara, Old Bay wings, pork spring rolls and vegetable spring rolls served with Hoisin dipping sauce to name a few. Other items included vegetable, meat and cheese Stromboli, and scallops wrapped in bacon with horseradish dipping sauce.
