For whatever reason, my kids and their friends do pre dance food at each other’s homes. I mentioned it’s a big range of what parents offer and spend. One family had space for sit down — but most do not. We have enough seating spread around the kitchen/family room connected area for 2 or 3 seating areas, so everyone could sit. Budget is not a primary concern. I’d like to have something nice since this is our last kid and last high school dance (and first time hosting pre prom). |
A bearnaise and a horseradish whip? |
Gorgonzola cream sauce also goes well |
If budget isn’t a concern, I’d order in from Maggianos and get flatbread apps (and have sushi trays), and for dinner italian or caesar salad, chicken francese, beef tenderloin, and a pasta. |
So the chicken and salad from maggianos? Where do you get flatbread apps? Prepared tenderloin? |
Maggianos sells all of this. |

I'd do sushi platters for appetizers and order Steak from Medium Rare. |
We used to order Medium Rare to go during the pandemic and the steak was always dried out (we love it in the restaurant). |
I'd cater it from Talia's Cuzina in Kensington. |
Op here. Should mention we live 2 miles from the Tyson’s Maggiano location. |
So look at their menu and if it appeals order from there - they easily cater for crowds (they’d just consider 20 people a to-go order, not even catering). |
this looks perfect |
How about Indian! So easy and simple. Some samosas, pakoras, pappadams, naan, a big bowl of rice and some Chana masala |
So Easy! |
