?? what??

Cava, dumplings, dim sum, etc way too messy, unappealing to most kids (except those with snowflakes), and hard to eat.

There's a reason pizza and nuggets are the go-to foods for kid parties.

Do you know what dumplings are? Kids LOVE dumplings!!

Well don’t be surprised when mine clean out the bowl of chips and the fruit platter. Not all kids LOVE dumplings (or falafel or sushi that’s not plain sashimi).

We've been to a lot of parties with Wegman's party platters.

If you go in to the store and talk to them, they can make kid-spfecific sandwich platters, including PB&J and plain cheese.

Your kids sound boring, LOL, Seriiously, though, in this area, I've found that kids are much more adventurous eaters than where I'm originally from and I credit that to the diversity of the region. My DD's best friend is Turkish and her parents served homemade Turkish food at her DD's last birthday party (the was two years ago and kid was turning 6). It was a big hit, the trays were cleared out very quickly and she kept bringing out more food!

Approximately how many in a platter?

nvm. just checked their website and looks like 64 in a small tray $33.50, 120 medium tray $58.

But the nuggets are made in peanut oil, so if any child has allergy it will be a problem.

Plus the whole anti-gay thing.

Sandwich platters are a nice pizza alternative.

We also like a selection of appetizers, like mini quiches, cheese sticks and crackers and fruit and veggie trays with hummus. Cava has some nice appetizers on the catering menu.

OP here. Can you recommend a place that does sandwich platters? And thanks to the PPs for suggestions. We don’t do Chik-fil-a, so welcome any other ideas. I think our options are probably pizza or grocery store platters but hoping to find other options. Cava is a good idea too.

I got sandwich platters from Wegmans one year and Safeway another year. Both were really good
