I think if you go veg, it will be less expensive anyway.

I love the platters from Passion Fin. There is one in Bethesda. I order them all the time last second when we have guests. As a matter of fact, I order them from carryout all the time. It is cheaper for our family of 4 to get the small platter, rather than ordering a la carte. I know Wegmans does these.

If you get it Friday night, just open the top and put plastic wrap on top of the rolls to protect them from the air.

I would never feed guests prepared food from giant or safeway. Especially not sushi! Just go to a real sushi restaurant and order a catering platter at areound 9pm. I'm in va and order catering platters of sushi last second all the time.

I've gotten sushi platters from Whole Foods several times and they are always good.

Taylor Gourmet

Wegmans is great it's a 15 minute drive to Germantown that early on Saturday order and pay online

Wegmans or Costco

Whole foods? Not in md, so unfamiliar with Rockville

I do prefer they be made that morning, but if not, we will survive. We don't have a big enough fridge to accommodate all three trays so I can't pick up Friday anyway.

We saw our Safeway assembling our sandwich tray when we did a 9:30am pickup for our DD's birthday party (they were in the midst of assembling when we got there).

I'm pretty sure no one would make sushi at night and then attempt to give it to you in the morning.

I know Safeway has all of these options. The sandwich tray was good. Get your cake there too and you are done for the morning!

I am ordering trays for my twins' birthday - turkey pita sandwiches, cut-up fruit platter and a sushi platter (cucumber/avocado rolls). Where should I order? Constraints are that they need to be available before 10AM for Saturday pick-up as our party starts at 10:30AM. I'm not sure about quality if picking up on a Friday.

Giant? Harris Teeter?

We are in Rockville. Thank you!!
