Black & White Mirror Mirror Buffet

Best Buffet Presentation & Menu CATIE Awards 2014

SYNOPSIS  

!

On  October  28,  2013,  Mariano’s  Fresh  Market  -­‐  known  for  its  quality  food  products,  compeBBve  prices,  and  strong  sense  of   community  -­‐  held  a  Grand  Opening  for  their  latest  branch.    The  party  took  place  right  inside  the  store  for  over  500  guests,  including   friends  and  family  members,  employees,  philanthropists,  poliBcians,  and  other  key  figures  within  the  local  community.    The   objecBve  of  the  party  was  to  be  seen  and  remembered,  and  as  caterers,  we  wanted  to  create  a  buffet  that  was  unprecedented  and   unforgeLable.    To  accomplish  this,  we  embraced  the  event’s  Black  and  White  theme  with  innovaBon  and  flair.

!

BUFFET DESIGN CONCEPT & OBJECTIVES

  On  the  surface,  the  theme  “Black  &  White”  is  far  from  unique,  but  while  usually  associated  with  dress  code  or  décor,  we  decided  to  take  it   one  step  further  and  incorporate  it  into  our  menu.    As  an  added  challenge,  we  wanted  not  just  the  food,  but  the  buffet  presentaBon  itself  to  reflect   our  theme,  and  as  a  result,  we  developed  our  Black  &  White  Mirror  Buffet.     Simply  put,  our  concept  was  to  create  two  buffets  –  one  enBrely  black  buffet  and  one  white  buffet.    For  part  of  the  display,  we  produced  black   and  white  versions  of  the  same  dish  and  displayed  them  side-­‐by-­‐side.    On  the  “white  side”  of  the  buffet,  for  instance,  we  served  White  Sea  Salt   Crusted  Rack  of  Lamb  with  White  Balsamic  ReducBon  while  the  “black  side”  version  was  made  exactly  the  same  but  instead  uBlized  black  lava  salt   for  the  crust  on  the  lamb  and  black  balsamic  reducBon.    Similarly,  for  our  Ravioli  with  Lobster  in  a  Seafood  Nage,  we  simply  added  squid  ink  to  the   pasta  dough  on  one  side  of  the  buffet  to  render  a  black  appearance.    The  result  was  a  striking  display  with  delicious  results.  

CREATIVE PROCESS USED TO DESIGN THE MENU

!

  Since  its  incepBon  in  2010,  we  have  been  catering  grand  opening  events  for  Mariano’s,  each  with  its  own  unique  menu  and  theme.    Compared  to   previous  parBes,  developing  the  menu  for  our  Black  and  White  buffet  required  us  to  really  put  our  creaBve  capaciBes  to  work!    To  eliminate  the  need  for   guests  to  wander  between  two  buffets  during  service,  we  created  two  versions  of  the  same  item  and  displayed  them  onto  separate  sides  of  a  double-­‐ sided  buffet.    Over  several  weeks  we  brainstormed  and  tested  a  mulBtude  of  ideas  for  “black”  and  “white”  dishes.    Even  though  we  wanted  to  achieve  a   contrast  in  appearance,  we  wanted  the  flavors  and  the  essence  of  the  dishes  to  be  comparable.         We  used  several  different  approaches  in  designing  the  buffet.    One  simple  approach  was  to  take  popular  dishes  and  give  them  “black”  and  “white”   makeovers,  such  as  the  Parmesan  Crusted  Whitefish  with  a  Horseradish  Cream  Sauce  on  the  “white”  buffet  and  the  Blackened  Grilled  Sirloin  served  with   Blackberry  Demi  on  the  “black”  buffet.    Another  strategy  was  to  create  a  list  of  foods  that  already  have  a  black  and  white  counterpart,  like  white  rice  and   black  forbidden  rice,  and  develop  a  dish  around  those.      

!

SETUP OF THE BUFFET AND FUNCTIONALITY OF THE PRESENTATION

         The  black  and  white  mirror  buffet  was  staged  onto  a  series  of  long  white  tables.    Stacks  of  square  white  and  black  plates  were  situated  at  the  front  of   the  buffet,  designaBng  their  respecBve  sides.    To  enhance  the  color  contrast,  the  room  was  dimly  lit  while  a  single  lamp  illuminated  each  of  our  rack  of   lamb  and  sirloin  carving  staBons  in  white  light.                Because  we  wanted  a  clean,  modern  feel,  we  kept  décor  to  a  minimum  and  let  the  food  be  the  focus  of  the  buffet.    In  lieu  of  chafers,  we  uBlized  an   assortment  of  black  and  white  serving  pieces.    On  the  black  buffet,  we  used  cast  iron  skillets  and  other  black  dishes  to  match  the  darker  tone  of  the   food.    The  Black  Sesame  Seed  Long  Bean  Knots  with  Sweet  Soy  Siracha  Sauce  was  porBoned  into  miniature  black  skillets  while  the  other  side  exhibited  a   variety  of  white  ceramics,  like  the  Individual  Champagne  Cauliflower  Au  GraBn  served  in  white  ramekins.                The  white  buffet  also  included  a  crudite  display,  presenBng  a  number  of  white  dips,  like  roasted  garlic  hummus  and  feta  mint  yogurt,  and  white   dippers  like  sBrrato  crosBni,  jicama  batons,  and  white  asparagus.    In  front  of  the  white  buffet  was  a  risoLo  acBon  staBon  where  guests  selected  from  a   variety  of  ingredients  to  mix  in.    In  addiBon,  our  black  buffet  featured  an  Eggplant  Caponata  Salad  that  was  porBoned  inside  individual  mason  jars   embossed  with  Mariano’s  logo  and  stacked  onto  black  Bered  serving  trays.    (ConBnue  next  page)

         For  the  dessert  buffet,  we  posiBoned  a  white  chocolate  and  a  dark  chocolate  fondue  fountain  onto  separate  tables  and  stacked  a  variety  of  “black  and   white”  dippers,  such  as  angel  food  cake  squares,  peBte  dark  chocolate  cupcakes,  ridged  potato  chips,  and  sugar  cookie  dough  balls  in  between  them.     The  dippers  were  displayed  in  alternaBng  shades  inside  clear  cube  bowls  so  their  colors  would  not  be  obscured.    Surrounding  the  fondue  staBon  were   clear  glass  ornaments  suspended  from  white  contemporary  “trees.”    Inside  these  ornaments  were  white  and  black  decorated  cheesecake  lollipops  for   guests  to  take  as  they  pleased.

CHALLENGES & OBSTACLES

!

         The  most  challenging  aspect  of  our  Black  and  White  Mirror  Buffet  was  establishing  two  versions  of  the  same  dish.    Our  goal  was  to  achieve  a  black   and  white  effect  without  the  addiBon  of  arBficial  ingredients  like  food  coloring.    Working  with  the  limited  number  of  natural  “black”  food  opBons  was   a  challenge  in  itself.    We  wanted  to  highlight  the  flavors  and  contrasBng  colors  that  already  exist  in  nature,  uBlizing  darker  vegetables  like  red  beets   and  purple  cauliflower  and  with  proteins  like  whitefish  and  black  cod.   Moreover,  while  usually  we  strive  to  integrate  as  many  colors  as  possible  into  our  dishes,  for  this  parBcular  menu  we  were  trying  to  accomplish  the   exact  opposite  effect.    We  had  to  produce  dishes  that  were  virtually  all  one  color  but  sBll  looked  appeBzing.   Our  final  challenge  to  complete  our  client’s  black  and  white  experience  was  to  design  a  buffet  that  retained  the  same  black  and  white  qualiBes  as   the  food  we  worked  so  hard  to  develop.      This  meant  refraining  from  using  chrome  chafers  anywhere  on  the  buffet.    To  overcome  this  challenge,  we   incorporated  interacBve  acBon  staBons  using  griddles  and  sauté  pans,  placed  items  in  individual  black  and  white  containers,  and  uBlized  black  and   white  plaLers  such  as  marble  slabs  to  complete  the  look.  The  final  result  was  not  only  aestheBcally  clean  and  modern,  but  it  simultaneously   improved  the  quality  of  the  food,  keeping  it  hoLer  and  fresher  than  it  would  have  been  using  chafers.
