VH1 Fashion Awards' V.I.P. Food Spread

October 16, 2002
The VH1/Vogue Fashion Awards at Radio City Music Hall had a well-stocked array of food for about 850 Viacom and Vogue V.I.P.s who crowded a special area set up on the the first mezzanine. The Catering Company put out a pretty food spread, including tapas buffets with grilled fall vegetables, miniature filet sandwiches with frizzled leeks and tomato aioli, and wild mushroom and ricotta pizettes. Among the striking-looking passed hors d'oeuvres were hand-tied crepe bundles filled with Thai vegetables, which looked like intricate little gifts for the guests. Downstairs in the green room, the food included a plentiful assortment of sushi, lots of shrimp cocktail and chargrilled New York strip steak with b?arnaise sauce. The Catering Company arranged the food on tables of varying heights, and both setups included plenty of square-shaped plates (a big trend now) in different sizes from Broadway Famous.
