"Off The Shelf Catering Food Reveiw"

Ive been on many Film sets and tasted some of the best and worst foods ever from the catering truck. Today's commercial shoot we have "Off the Shelf" catering. The guy's that work for comapny are all very cool and nice guys. I remember this catering to be very good, so you can imagine my excitement when I seen them pull up in the morning. The excitement didn't last too long, the food I remember them serving a couple of years ago didn't match up to the food they served. Now the Breakfast was outstanding, my breakfast sandwich was awesome, the toasted sourdough bread with the melted cheese and eggs, thick slices of ham just made the sandwich so delicious. Second day I had the Huevos Rancheros.. eggs, fried corn tortilla, black beans , cheese and half of an avacado topped with salsa. It was supurb! And lets not forget the freshly baked cinammon rolls, they were to die for! When it came to lunch you could understand my puzzlement when my food looked like a work of art rather than the mouth watering food they served a few years ago. The small portions of FOO FOO dish they were serving left not just myself hungry afterwards but many of the crew members starving for more. One day I had the Chicken Pasta which didn't really have any chicken. It had more pasta and mushrooms. Did you guys buy 1 pound of chicken and cut it up to little pieces to stretch it out for the whole crew? The chicken I did taste had more of a lunch meat type of chicken flavor. There were two giant pieces of Asparagus topped with tons of Sprouts which looked more like Clover leafs. The best part of this meal was the Garlic bread. The bread was just crunchy with a fresh garlic buttered middle. Excellent!. The next day I tried the BBQ chicken, which looked more like shredded beef. The chicken had a smoke taste to it but not even the over doing of celantro was going to save the taste. Then again maybe it was mushy so no one would notice the tasteless Mac and Cheese that was hiding underneath the messy so callled bbq chicken. The two combinations did not make a great taste, who ever told you they would, they lied to you. This day more than half of the crew ate out, when asked why, their response was "At least you know what your eating when you go to fast food joints" I agree, I'm still not sure what exactly I ate from your lunch menu's. Whatever happened to the Grill and actually BBQ real chicken and not process shit? Your FOO FOO plates seem to be your trying to impress fellow Producers to maybe invest in a FOO FOO Restaurant. Save that for private parties and bring back the awesome food you once served a couple of years ago. Many stomachs will thank you and toilets will also thank you.
