I think you should purchase a bunch of different kinds of hotdogs and have the guests taste test them to determine which is best. it's a fun activity that will add some whimsy to your dinner party. all 7 people are sure to attend

>>17913710
are you gay anon?
just order chinese takeout, dissasemble, recombine and they won't notice shit
No one will appreciate the effort that went into making consomme, ganache or even wonder how beurre blanc is made

>>17913725
i'm getting paid for it and I like doing it so don't really care. but yeah you are right though

>>17913710
Looks too fancy. The hotdogs idea >>17913720 his guy mentioned sounds much better.

>>17913710
Should have a red meat entree

If doing 2 mains, fish or red meat is traditional. If doing 3 mains then fish, poultry, or red meat. With 4 mains one should be a vegetarian option.

>>17913778
was thinking of adding red meat to the dashi starter, with mushrooms being on the side

>>17913710
>cauliflower puree
>dashi consomme
Sounds gay and pretentious. If rather have hot dogs, chips and potato salad paired with beer.

>>17913720

>Gets literally paid for a nice culture-filled dinner
>Spends 40 bucks in hotdogs
You're the worst type of human being alive

Op here, Im trans btw not sure if that matters, dinner is for my transqueer support club

>>17913818
What's wrong with hotdogs??!?

>>17913819
>typical ameritard comment after reading menu and not understanding half of it

>>17913812
I literally work in fine dining and this is what guests expect. also; no alcohol themes as there is 1 muslim

>>17913720
This sounds like a dinner party I would absolutely attend.

>>17914504
I would expect hot dogs. If I showed up and you tried feeding me slop consommé I’d punch you in the face.

chicken hotdogs are absolute gourmet
be sure to use a potato hotdog bun
and steam them for soft goodness, no seared bites

>>17914528
Steamed or boiled hotdogs.. with a steamed bun. Perfection. But you need every type of hot dog the store carries, not just chicken. In case your friends want to try all the kinds of hot dogs you bought and rate them as a fun party game. I would go to that party

>>17913710
>Starter of cod
>Main of cod

Jesus Christ. You can choose anything and you choose choose Cod twice.

>>17914517
Yeah, this
>>17914504
Op if I went to you house and wasn’t presented with 10-15 different hotdogs amuse bouche style I’d sock you right in your jaw and leave

>>17913710
Honestly I applaud this degree of autism, your party's gonna be fun.

>>17914539
would monsieur prefer ze kielbasa or ze all boeuf 'ot dogue?

>>17914546
it won't be because with autism of this magnitude the autist host is bound to get pissy if people don't "eat the food right" or forget to kiss ass about it

>>17913710
this looks unnecessarily and incredibly pretentious, even if you're getting paid for it. double cod is also eh, why dont you pick something original? cod is so fucking boring. the chicken breast of fish. cannolicchi are delicious. so is red snapper (or dentex, cant find the english correct name). theres a crazy italia squisita video about a tiny plate of seafood spaghetti which is super interesting but possibly even more impractical than what you have going on.
as for dessert i personally wouldnt "pair" a tartellette with fish, the crumbly texture doesnt fit in at all in my opinion.
good on you for actually cooking instead of 3/4 of this board sitting at home eating the latest generic unsaturated fat vessel in the shape of a burger.

>>17913720
This does sound fun ngl

>>17914601
You’re pretentious. The rest of us (the actual people going to parties that make them fun) want a variety of hot dogs. Have fun having your little fancy party nobody shows up to.

pocket 240.
do dark dining, feast for the senses
serve amuse on a spoon filled with hot sauce or hot and sour sauce
starter is bread baked in butter
main is fish filet from mcdonalds
inbetween is a mcchicken
dessert is sugar piled on bread

>>17914601
I'm not doing 2x cod, I just wrote two ideas down with cod in it and will choose best locally available fish, but not doing cod twice. also I get ppl (americans) think this is pretentious but this is simple cooking to me; half a lobster, butter sauce and potatoes, pretentious?

>>17914635
I’m French, living in France. I would rather have a hot dog party. Your party sounds like ass.

>>17914635
either falseflagging or genuinely retarded, in any case, kill yourself

>>17914635
I'm from italy and was trained under Massimo Bottura for 8 years.

I would much rather have a hot dog party

>>17914679
literal who? namedrop someone who is known

>>17914691
ronald mcdonald

>>17914702
i love Mr. McDonald

Cod, scallops, pear, walnut, apples, water cress, horseradish, potatoes are all out of season. So is lobster.

No idea why you'd want to reduce a magnificent May cauliflower to a purée.

Where's the asparagus? Milk lamb? Milk veal? Morels? No peas, no garden beans or first cucumber, no spinach, no sorel.

I'd love your dish if it were autumn, but we're 6 months later now.

will admit i get into autismo tunnelvision when thinking of menu's. how about this then cunts?

>>17913710
This looks pretentious as fuck go with the hotdogs>>17913720

>>17914679
every italian chef I know (and I know alot) all suck dick for weed, and massimo bottura is literally a scam artist. all he does is hit plates with his spoon

>>17914729
A heavy winter dessert in the midst of spring? Oysters past peak season?
I would shit on my plate if I were served a basic ass lemon pasta and paid money for it.

It's spring/early summer. Imagine the food you would want in that time. I'm having people over this week for yakitori because it's grilling season. I wouldn't invite them over and serve them ramen.

>>17914729
this is the most midwit op ive ever seen.
unironically worse than the mcdonald posters.

>>17914729
bro it's spring

OP here, I've given it another shot. Let me know your thoughts.

>>17914756
>>17914787
It’s fucking JUNE pretty much it’s summer now

>>17914822
That makes OP's menus even worse, desu

>>17914816
now THIS is what I'm talking about!

>>17914816
Perfect what time should I arrive?

>>17913720
BASED

>>17914816
much better op

>>17914822
Depends on location, for me it's still decidedly mid-spring.

First day of summer is 20+ days away.

Whats the logic in having 3 weeb courses, followed by 3 old fashioned, fairly simple courses?

>>17913710
hotdogs op, hotdogs

>>17914816
I would go to this party

>>17913710
All sounds a bit played out anon. Mixing classical French and throwing in Japanese ingredients is the mark of a tryhard.

>>17913710
Is it even a private dinner if there isn't at least 4 types of hotdogs??

>>17914993
He thinks he's smart and creative but he's not. Definitely American.

>>17914816
if this is op, nice.
the first menu looked really interesting, but felt the same way i’d imagine being the king of a medieval castle would. that is, as a royal, your intricate, heavy and odd assortment of little gourmet plates that have very slightly congealed in the cross-castle walk only make you feel a little ill, uncertain about what exactly you just ate, and tired.
a tasting might be great for menu1, but generally at parties people will come away feeling good if it was simple, filling, indulgent, and a relaxing companionable no-brainer. the food doesn’t seek to impress or confound, it’s just meant to feel like letting loose and taking a culinary breather from the over-complex gray of your worklife. fried foods, grilled foods, seasonal, tasty feel good things that make your guests feel like laying back and as if you’re not asking for acknowledgement but giving them something casually enough that they’d be so comfortable eating and chatting that it takes yourself out of the equation. great catering is probably putting yourself in your guests’ shoes, and thinking of what food would make this party the happiest experience to you, not coming up with a menu that sounds good in a vacuum.
i’m just a lurker though. sorry, tldr.

>>17913720
why is this so funny

>>17913710
kanker

>>17913720
I would have attended and just had a hot dog eating contest with you. Lol.

>>17915989

>>17914816
I've got to say when I was first invited i thiugh it sounded alittle pretentious, but this is a big improvement. We will be needing ketchup with the main though.

Why in the absolute fuck are you technologically inept retards using Excel for these menus? There are multiple fucking cell gaps for no reason, text spilling into the next cell over, you didn't even break data into multiple cells! Colors are meaningless here. I hope you cook better than you format. Do you print out the whole spreadsheet for reference, too? You know dot matrix doesn't do color.

Aside from that your menu sounds delicious, can I get an invite to the party? I'll show you how to use a computer after.

>>17916654
I know right. I usually make my menu drafts in windows movie maker. fucking idiots

>>17913710
Needs more cod

>>17914504
>the rest of the party suffers because of one sandnigger.

Yeah shit party, doesnt matter what you serve i wouldnt enjoy myself
