Thanksgiving is all about family, expressing gratitude, relaxing, and, of course, the food. However, preparing a Thanksgiving feast can be a challenge. And if you are the one responsible for doing all the prep work, it is the type of time-consuming challenge that has the potential to thoroughly stress you out and leave you secretly disliking the holiday.
It is no wonder that because of this, more and more people are opting for the stress-free Thanksgiving option—catering in. Though some people are likely saying, “it wouldn’t be Thanksgiving if I didn’t spend all day slaving away in the kitchen,” others may be wanting to know more about this option—specifically, who typically gets their Turkey Day meal catered?
In today’s blog, we at Pour La France! Catering would like to direct our focus toward answering this question. As one of the top Denver catering services, we take pride in our menu and offering exceptional services for any corporate or social event—Thanksgiving included. Read on to learn more about Thanksgiving catering.
Office Party
If you work in an office, chances are you celebrate most of the major holidays with a little gathering that typically includes food. While having a potluck style dinner can be good, it requires a lot from the employees, and it doesn’t ensure that all the components of the meal are excellent—not just a few pies and one of your coworker’s casseroles. Hiring a catering company to supply the food for the party can ensure an amazing, freshly cooked dinner (no store-bought dishes) that’s sure to make employees feel valued and respected.
Multiple Thanksgivings
One common reason people give for catering in is that they have a large family, multiple dinners and are simply too exhausted to prepare a feast for each one of them. In this situation, families will often choose to hire a catering service to deliver a hot and delicious meal to their home for one of their dinners.
Too Overwhelmed
Perhaps you love the preparation of the turkey. You enjoy making the brine, preparing it, cooking, basting it regularly, and watching it slowly approach perfection. But you don’t have the time or energy to make all of the sides, appetizers, and desserts. Hiring a catering company to complement your turkey may be the perfect option for you.
The centerpiece of Thanksgiving is the food. But when preparing the centerpiece becomes such a task that you cannot fully enjoy the holiday, it’s time to consider your options. Caterers can freshly prepare the meal, make sure that it arrives at the venue well before the event, meet all your dietary needs, pick delicious recipes, and above all else cut out the hassle and headache of preparing a gourmet meal.
Do keep in mind that many catering services—Pour La France! Catering included—requires advanced orders, and if you are considering this as an option for the holidays, now is the time to book your event. Our Thanksgiving menu includes all the traditional menu items—turkey, mashed potatoes, beans, and stuffing—as well as dishes like pear and cranberry stuffed pork roulade and autumn harvest squash ravioli.
