Had a catering tasting my last night. We are using the vendor list from our venue to get a discount. We have gone to two tastings so far and they weren’t great. The one last night was okay but we did notice the chef over seasoned some of the items. Like the risotto was very lemony. I thought maybe it was my pallet. Next the mashed potatoes and macaroni balls were very salty. I was like okay I’m not sure if we want to go this direction because of how they season. The chef came out at the end and

Just giving my two cents because we felt the exact same way about the venue provided caterers, we went the food truck route and brought in two different food trucks for our food then hired service separately. It went great and the guests loved the food. An alternative idea if your venue allows for food trucks.

asked if anything was too salty and we told him. We also told him about the overly lemony items.

He proceeds to tell us that he actually doesn’t eat salt, gluten and is whole food plant based (mind you this is a huge guy with a boiler on him so I was a bit confused)

He told us the feedback is helpful because since he doesn’t eat those things he will know how to do it better next time.

I’ve never been in this situation. And this is basically our last hope for a vendor and to use this discount because the others didn’t work out or didn’t get back to us.

What should I do?

Ask for another tasting with adjusted seasoning.

Sometimes the leadership does not even inform you on the status of a submitted proposal unless we win the work. I get why they are doing it but it would be great if there was an external source/website that would share this info instead of us waiting around to hear from them.
