Just recently for a Lange Farm Wedding,  we had the pleasure of providing a fusion of great Indian and American food for a unique wedding where two cultures and two great people were being united.  The task was challenging: His background was Indian and hers was of local Florida.  So how do you put together a wedding where both families can both be represented?

The simple answer – call Good Food Catering Company!  We work regularly with an Indian chef who is able to cook authentic Indian food and customize it for the occasion.  We often have requests for great Indian food and we do it by integrating it with our regular menus to create a fun and diverse food display.  In this particular instance, we created two separate stations to reflect the food and culture of both the bride and the groom.  To begin during cocktail hour, we served a duo of bite sized samosas – Potato and Pea alongside Spinach and Cheese, both served with a traditional mint sauce.  It turned out that they were one of the biggest hits of the evening.  To beat the heat, we served mango lassis, but in miniature shot glasses!

For the Indian food, we served….

Flavor of Florida Station

Key Lime Caesar Salad

A Florida twist on a classic salad!  Elegantly served, romaine lettuce is tossed lightly with our house-made creamy key lime Caesar dressing and served on a vertical buffet display for a unique and modern look.

South Florida “Black Beans and Rice Bar”

A classy twist on a rustic South Florida influenced dish – Cuban black beans and rice.

To keep the crowd flowing smoothly

your guests will be served the black beans and rice

by one uniformed staffer,  and then move to another section of the station

where a second staffer will dish out your guest’s choices of toppings, including

sliced marinated and grilled flank steak, pulled Cuban roast pork,

scallions, red peppers and caramelized onions.

The crowd was wowed by the ultra chic food presentation using our hand hammered copper chafers for the Indian food station and a rustic look of brick and cast iron for our “Taste of Tampa station.”  Check out this great photo collage from photographer Angel He !
