The Pavilion is rented out for special events when it is not football season. Our class was able to view a setup for a dinner. We viewed the chef’s table. For this particular dinner party, it was setup buffet style. There are different table styles for different types of events, tables are either plated or chef’s tables setup. The general manager explained to us how setting tables works, and what is required in order to properly plan for a certain type of event. It is important to think of the formality of an event. Plated tables, in which food is served to the guest’s tables, is more suitable for formal events, where as, chef’s tables, or buffet styles, are more suitable to casual events. Having a buffet style helps create more interaction between guests because it forces people to leave their table to get food, and typically leads to conversation among other guests. It is also very important to have appetizers since there is normally a great amount of time between the function and dinner. Of course, money and time are also a deciding factor when it comes to planning the food styles for events. Being able to tour the Ross Ade facility made me excited about the different events that go on, along with the behind the scene action that takes place in order to coordinate an event. I am very grateful that the general manager took time
