FOOD TALK WITH FIG - Catering Tips & Stories: April 2015
http://foodtalkwithfig.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 8, 2015. In with the new, out with the old. In the past year FIG has been tremendously lucky to add some great people to our staff, but we've also had to say goodbye to some familiar (and much loved) faces. I've love to speak a little to how this makes me feel as a boss and introduce you to the newbies as well as properly thanking and saying goodbye to those who have left. We do one wedding show a year - Committed, a show hosted by the Green Wedding Alliance. Our service staff is on-call...

FOOD TALK WITH FIG - Catering Tips & Stories: Home on a Saturday night
http://foodtalkwithfig.blogspot.com/2013/12/home-on-saturday-night.html
Saturday, December 21, 2013. Home on a Saturday night. Four and a half years ago we realized that we wouldn't be able to get any bigger until we had some help. We started hiring kitchen and administrative help. Our roles became more focused - his on the savory side and accounting, mine on the sweet side and marketing/client contact. We still worked long hours, but began to realize we could give some responsibilities away. Our second FIG baby! Having a full time baker has reduced my time in the kitchen qu...

Thursday, August 8, 2013. Yes, this is a new name. Jordan is a FIG staffer who has been working gigs with us for almost two years and is now lead captain on many events. He's a sometimes working actor who by-chance is friends with our very own, Elyse Moore. Jordan loves his cat (and takes care of Elyse's when she's away), knows a sufficient amount about beer, and is from Michigan making him an a-okay guy in our book. He Who Serves, Rules. Oh, wait, that’s us. Posted by For Intimate Gatherings. A quirky l...

Monday, January 4, 2010. Going to the Chapel. Like many of you, Justin and I got engaged this holiday season and we're busy thinking about our wedding plans. Unlike most of you, we already have a lot of experience with this kind of stuff. We have a better idea of what we want, what steps to take, and how much it will cost us in the end. So, we thought we'd offer a little advice. At this point, it’s helpful to get a better idea of just how quickly the catering budget will add up. Many brides oft...Passed ...

Monday, April 8, 2013. In every job that must be done, there is an element of fun. You find the fun, and - SNAP - the job's a game! What do April showers bring? Get it, May flowers, the Mayflower. Right, you got it.) And spring cleaning! Have you ever heard of The Great Pacific Garbage Patch. That's a real thing. But, ok, so maybe your milk glass isn't exactly caught up in that mess, but plenty of waste is, that could have been reused or recycled, just like your leftover wedding and event decor. Please s...

FOOD TALK WITH FIG - Catering Tips & Stories: Pure Michigan
http://foodtalkwithfig.blogspot.com/2014/09/pure-michigan.html
Monday, September 8, 2014. So, on Saturday August 16th we climbed into our vehicles and a rented motor coach (aka party bus) to make our way caravan-style to Michigan. Our first stop was a goat cheese farm in Fennville called Evergreen Lane. We have been using cheese from Evergreen for a couple years at FIG and I was excited to hear their story. Cathy, the head cheesemaker and owner, was gracious from the beginning and happily invited our group (more than 20! Was the right fit. Mostly due to the fact...
