It\u2019s a party menu you can use for sit-down events as well as stand-up cocktail-hour gatherings. <\/p>\n<p>The key is that we are creating an experience that is filled with flavor but does not overwhelm our guests. As with all our Palette Dome Cuisine menus, we can tailor the selections for your dietary needs: vegan, vegetarian, kosher style, gluten free, paleo or pescatarian dining are just some of the possibilities.<\/p>\n<p>We all go to so many functions and gatherings this time of year; and we are frequently reminded that it\u2019s a time to reflect and give thanks. An Appetizers Party is a great example of how we can realize the quality of the food is just as important as the quantity.  <\/p>\n<p>No matter how you are spending this Thanksgiving holiday, small gathering or large, we wish you a warm and happy, food fantastic day!<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanksgiving is a day away, getting us even closer to the end of autumn and its bountiful harvest, and setting our preparations for winter into an even higher gear.
