Wolfgang Puck Catering

[floridanative]

For anyone attending parties catered by them around Atlanta, thought I'd share my experience with the catering manager on Sat. night at the company party I attended. They knew I had to eat gluten free prior to the evening so upon arrival the company HR person went and found the manager of Puck's catering so he could go over what I could eat. I was able to have pork tenderloin, beef medallions, tilapia, field greens salad w/dressing, rice and roasted veggies. Needless to say I had to pass on all the pasta offerings. For dessert they offered to bring me either fruit or sorbet but I snuck in my own pecan chocolate bark so I passed.

It was a wonderful evening and I had plenty to eat and didn't react at all. Now the slightest gluten trace will cause me to double over in pain but I ate plenty and felt great and enjoyed showing DH around the aquarium and mingling with his co-workers. I was worried I'd have to pick up a Wendy's baked potato on the way home from starvation so it was a pleasant surprise to be able to enjoy most of the food without issue. I post this to let newbies know, even if you are still learning and don't eat outside your home now (probably a wise move) there is life after a Celiac dx and you can, yes you can still eat out safely but it takes planning and good communication skills in order to do so. Good luck and happy holidays to all!
