Food Presentation

With dinner served on rotating toy boats, the catering team not only had to take into account the size of the plates and weight and temperature of the food, but also produce enough for a substantial meal.

LDJ Productions and Brenton Catering served champagne cocktails in test tubes at hair-care brand Joico’s chemistry-lab-inspired 30th anniversary party in New York in 2005.

The mac and cheese station was set up as a two-part offering: guests could either select a mini serving placed on a spinach cone off a Ferris-wheel-shaped stand, or opt for a full cup that could be customized with toppings like veggie bacon bits, truffle oil, jalapenos, scallions, or sriracha sauce.

Illuminated cubes marked with IGN's logo were served with the signature cocktails at the Expendables 2 event.
