Lee & Eddie’s Catering

I catered a company breakfast today. Usually I order from Corkey’s, but decided to try Lee & Eddy’s. Big mistake! The scrambled eggs were hard, the potatoes were dry and the pancakes were mealy. I ordered for 90 people and received 90 biscuits, however only 60 people could have jelly with their biscuit. The syrup for the pancakes was cold, fortunately I was able to heat it up in our microwave. Then the big insult was the «spread» they passed off as butter. Needless to say I will not be ordering from them again.

L&E catered our company holiday party, and I was pretty unimpressed. There was a LOT of food, but it was all pretty low quality.
Several iceberg (!!!) lettuce salads, with plastic packets of dressing. Plain tortilla chips next to mounds of taco dip made up of mostly sticky beans. A smallish dish of shrimp that was gone instantly. A small bowl of guacamole that was gone pretty quickly as well. The serving dishes contained meat dishes, and these were all pretty overheated, overcooked and dry. The meatballs had a disconcertingly sweet taste that I was not a fan of.
Business cards on the table?! Hey, if you’re good, people ask for your card. Better to leave those off.
This food might be fine for a picnic, but for a holiday party I wanted to see more elegant fare, prepared by an actual chef. Finger food, and small bites of incredibly delicious food, real hors d’oeuvres, rather than food that needed to be eaten off a plastic plate with a plastic fork while juggling a drink.
Maybe it’s a city vs. suburbs mentality thing, but less food that is more special, vs. loads of food that is mediocre, would be my preference.
The servers were great, and the bartender was flirty and sweet and an absolute hoot — no complaints about the people, they were all great.
The food, though. .. while it wasn’t inedible, it was just incredibly unspecial.
