===== From Barbara =====
Created from a compilation of Nick's lessons learned 2013 & 2014 docx's, runner complaints, my go round 2013, food safety, crowd managment
and my daily professional catering experiences.
Note: We had problems with an immersion circulatior in 2012 not heating fast or hot enough. Bob showed interest in giving that one a go again! (It just must get to 165 in 2 hours) Plan B is listed in attachment/below.

***OVERALL***:
Chaffing dishes for hot proteins on buffet for self serve. Batch cooking to replenish as necessary. Batch cooking dogs, sausages & burgers on grill. Replenish batches of hot pulled pork/veggie burgers from Bob's Immersion Circulator

Thanks guys
Barbara
