This program was sponsored by Cain Vineyard and Winery. I try not to serve pasta. To do it to the standards Id like for 500 people at once [is impossible.] [14:04] Last year alone I did somewhere from 250-300 custom menus for events. No two events are alike, we dont want to do cookie cutter events. [22:22] When youre catering you have to safeguard against everything that could possibly go wrong.
