[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How would you do a grill cheese bar for a party? Use a panini press or have guests grill it themselves? Or you sit at the stove and make them to order?

Maybe have an electric grill right at the table? I was once served a brunch where the host had the waffle iron and batter right at the table and served them right off the iron. [/quote]

I wouldn’t because it’s like an omelet bar : host has to stand there individually making each one. Terrible idea. Maybe a baked potato bar with fully wrapped baked potatoes and people just grab one and go down the line adding toppings - cheese, broccoli, ham , chili, green onions, butter, sour cream, etc. [/quote]

It might not be the right thing for every party, but it can be a fun thing for the right party.  You can have it set up at the stove with 4 frying pans, and/or there can be an electric griddle, and/or there can be panini presses.  People assemble their own sandwiches, then the host grills, or guest can grill.  The fun part about it is that there is an activity and chatting -- the host can introduce people who don't know each other, encourage mingling whether people do or don't know each other.  If the host grills during the busy time, he/she can trade off with a co-host, or it can go to serve-yourself after a while.  The party I attended was open-house style, but people stayed a while, went back for different combos later, etc.  I didn't know anyone there except my friend who brought me, but it was fun.

Soup in crock pots, salads, etc. are serve-yourself. [/quote]
