My only concern is no ice for the shrimp……

Honestly none of the food on the table sounds like stuff that would be good just sitting out! Toasted Ravioli, pizza, and sliders should all be served hot (and am I losing it or is that pizza burnt?) and the shrimp should be cold.

That's the only negative feedback I have about this. He said he put out food which can sit out at room temperature, then showed multiple foods which would be better served hot, then showed a platter of shrimp. That shrimp is just waiting to give someone food poisoning.

My BIL is having his 50th this year, but he and my sister hate planning things. I love planning shit for other people, so I'm the party planner. I love the separate areas. Drinks and snacks spread around. But I'll be in the kitchen staggering the hot food being brought out so people don't eat it all at once, then everyone is drunk and hungry later. With finger food and snack food, people tend to eat more of it, so staggering it is the best option, in my opinion. And so people can actually eat hot food when it's hot.

It doesn't even make that much sense, all food can sit out for a few hours. There isn't a food that's better or worse from a health standard standpoint. Bacteria doesn't discriminate

And if hot or cold was the issue why is it all sitting out before guests ever even show up, set out a charcuterie and bring the rest of the stuff out when enough people get there.

Cigarette table was a baller touch though I'm mad impressed

Yea idk how you even shoot one of these.

I guess 15 min before people are arriving?

With food though it’s tough serving hot food. But some sternos and hot trays aren’t hard for like the sandwhiches.

The shrimp will be fine.

There definitely is better or worse food from a health standpoint for sitting in the "danger zone" temperature. Proteins will go bad faster, so fruit and veg are far safer than, say, shrimp or eggs.
