Finger-ish foods for a meal - suggestions?

[Anonymous]

I’m hosting an event for my teen’s sports team and their families, probably 40 people, in March. I’m not counting on the weather to use my deck, so there won’t be enough room for people to sit and eat even in shifts. I’m planning to have food brought in. What are some easy ideas that people can eat while standing, besides pizza? Anyone done catered sliders? Can I get premade mini wraps or burritos? Other ideas? I’m in Bethesda.

Thanks!

4 pm is usually tea time, correct? I would add mini samosas. They taste good even when at room temperature.

I’m would look for things that taste good room temperature.

Honey baked ham and Hawaiian rolls make nice slider size sandwiches.

This. They are expensive but they will be devoured.

Mini hot dogs wrapped in biscuits. Trader Joes, Costco and Whole Foods all sell these. They go like wildfire.

funeral sandwiches - a couple different kinds.

chips fruit.

walking tacos or tijuana trainwreck.

taco bowls.

Another vote for mini hot dogs. The frozen Hebrew national ones are also good.

And take a look at this link to Bao Bee's catering menu. They are a small company so might be amenable to assemble mini's for you. https://baobei.menu/menu

For a spurge, O'Donnell's crab dip served with crackers. You would want a chafing dish. Delish, went in 10 minutes when I brought it to a party.

Founding Farmers does catered sliders and deviled eggs. https://www.foundingfarmerscatering.com/_files/ugd/f148bf_df6d8dbf8b8c4d23afa8e01dee597172.pdf. This would make the whole thing easy for you.

Or, what I've seen is Shake Shake burgers in envelopes at parties. This goes over very big and they were fine at room temp.

I’d pick up sushi trays and sandwich trays and veggie tray and fruit tray - done

Teens eat a LOT. May be have a crockpot full of hot dogs and the Smashburgers available to them. That should help fill in for the finger foods.

Mini sandwich platter from Giant. It’s surprisingly good. Or subs from another sandwich shop. Could also do empanadas. Pigs in a blanket are always a hit but surprisingly expensive.

Breaded chicken tenders. You can eat them at room temperature.
