A new source for equipment

Hurray! hook me up.....Koko, I can get glasses at a supply house for that with no shipping....actually some of the discount houses are running glassware for .75 a stem.....I get 1 dz glasses at Bed Bath and Beyond for $10....and they are pretty nice. so under $1 hopefully....I need um by mid Feb.

Ok so I'm curious!



Why 500 glasses Shroom???

[shroomgirl]

mashed potato bar for 300 and a martini bar as an optional bev station.

You know, this is why I love CT! I thought I was being helpful and it turns out I learned more from you about the pricing of martini glasses. And, not to mention, a new way to serve mashers!!

If only I'd known. A tractor trailer load of potatoes was stuck in that snow storm right behind the one with the martini glasses.

Thanks Shroom, great idea. Will you put salt and pepper on the rim? Or paprika, the Spanish kind.

not margaritas Isa martinis.....can you imagine rimming that many glasses and then washing caked on paprika...<much less mashed pot> The dishwasher gets a BIG tip that night.
there is an exstensive list of gooey toppings....morels in cream, braised lamb, herb tomatoes, chedar, blue, sour cream, chives, I can't remember the rest....but I've got two guys scooping and handing them to guests to top with their goo
....Plus the Asian station and the French station and the dessert table and the martini bar and the wine and beer bar....big night for me. I really am proud of the menu. It's hopefully staff friendly. oh yeah the 18 staff I'm pulling from the Ritz(cross your fingers for me) banquet cus it's so slow that time of year....

I was recently at an event at the Field Museum in Chicago, and they served mashed potatos (with all the fixings) in disposable plastic martini glasses. Initially, we thought it was a sundae station. When my wife and I went over there, we brought back a potato "sundae" for our friend (not telling her that it wasn't ice cream).

The look on her face at the first taste was priceless.

What can I say Shroom I'm not much of a cocktail drinker...



Your menu sounds wonderful I'm sure it will be a hit! You'll take some picture won't you? I'd love to see some of the glasses with mashed potatoes and toppings.
