I’ve said that we can’t hire Caterer Tananaaan for the wedding, because every time I hear the name, I’ll start giggling and there will be no stopping me. I’ll need an inhaler! And it’s Oneal’s fault.
One day, we were stuck in traffic, approaching Guadalupe on EDSA southbound. I think we were going to a bridal fair. We were reviewing the list of caterers currently accredited at Fernwood, and we started laughing at Caterer Tananaaan. Oneal launched into an impromptu skit where Caterer Tananaaan is some macho chef, and every time his name is uttered, there is theme music (trumpets i think) coming out of nowhere. The mental image I’ve conjured up is Johnny Bravo, but brunette, Italian, very smarmy, and with a handlebar mustache. If I hadn’t been in the car, I’d have been rolling on the floor, laughing.
But the point is: the food! The food-tasting was held at the Coral Tree Garden in Fernwood. That was good because we saw how our reception venue looked with all the tables. The food was mostly good. Not excellent, but definitely better than Caterer J. They seemed to be flexible about swapping out the amenities. The stuff that was cooked on request were good, at the carving station and the pasta station.
Pros:
- Lauriat doable.
- They’re accredited at Fernwood.
Cons:
- Salad dressing was not nice.
- Desserts are so-so.
