serving kid friendly eye appealing delicious food.
Of course the answer was YES.

This fun filled Bar Mitzvah Celebration at Temple Mischan Israel in Connecticut was set up club style with tall top bar tables draped in black floor length linens and tall chivari bar chairs, with blinking light up centerpieces and tie dye balloon arches that enhanced the club atmosphere.
The evening kicked off with hot dance music by DJ group
Prime Time Party Crew (PTPC) and EmCee C-Tip and passed hors d'oeuvres by CuisinEtc Catering and Special Events.
One of the most popular hors d'oeuvre selections with adults and kids alike were the CuisinEtc smoking panko chicken tenders drizzled with Asian chili jam
+ sprinkled with shaved coconut.
Our take on the ubiquitous chicken finger passed on a middle eastern
tea tray bellowed smoke
... surprising + delighting guests !
Other passed kid friendly temptations
butlered by the friendly staff included:
...grilled cheese quesadillas
...our signature cows in the comforter
- all beef mini hot dogs in pastry blankets
...Elvis' kosher style
peanut butter/banana wrap + roll bytes
garnished with a toy guitar
and served on a record like spin disk platter
...cones of sweet potato chips
drizzled with herbed ranch dip
...queen of hearts my oh my
Italian lollipops perched
atop an artist palate
and
...cumin kissed veggie empanditas
with housemade basil + marinara dip.
Lisa Teiger, Culinary Fashionista and Event Food Stylist, of CuisinEtc's design department, along with team member Hong Mei Pang, created modern club like decor for the three food stations using red and black form fitting linens that present a sleek look .
