It's that time of year again. It's somebody's birthday, or anniversary, or commemorative day, and somehow you were put in charge of the food. But there are so many options to choose from, where do you start? Well, a good idea is to consider what season you are in. Early Spring and Summer season is the best barbecue weather, and people are generally in the mood for ribs and smoked meats.
So that narrows it down a little, but when you're in the valley and looking for BBQ catering, There are still several things you should consider when choosing one place. For example:
How far in advance should I place my catering order? Always ask this of the companies you are investigating. The minimum advance-order date for BBQ catering Los Angeles varies with every company, and you need to know if you've given yourself, and them, enough time to properly prepare and deliver your feast. If you can give them more time than they mention, even better. The farther in advance you can plan the catering, the easier it will be for everybody.
Do they offer taste testing? You want to make sure the food is enjoyable, and up to your standards. Inquire about whether a taste testing is available for the catering service. This step alone may help you determine exactly where you want to purchase barbecue in Los Angeles from.
Is the food cooked at the catering location, or at the location of my event? If prepared at the catering location, ask about the hygiene of the employees, and
How will the food be preserved? During transportation and serving, cold foods must be kept below 41 degrees Fahrenheit, and hot foods must be kept above 140 degrees Fahrenheit, according to Food Safety Regulations. Cooked food must not be left at room temperature longer than 3 hours. Ask how the BBQ catering company will keep the food from falling into temperature danger zones.
How many guests will I have? It seems like an obvious question, but when you're dealing with barbecue in Los Angeles, the number of guests you will be having will definitely impact the price and amount of the food you are ordering. Give the caterers an approximation of your guest list, at the very least.
Are tax and tip included? Some BBQ catering Los Angeles companies do not include tax and tip. Don't be caught off guard, ask and see if these are included in the given price, or not.
