Place ingredients such as salami, cheeses, cucumber or tomatoes on cold plates in order to preserve their texture and integrity, as the party progresses. While meats or cheeses tend to have an odour or melt if left out too long, vegetables have the possibility of going limp, proving detrimental and producing soggy sandwiches. Cover the bread with cloches to prevent them from drying out and encourage guests to adapt a no-food-waste approach while helping themselves.
Prep In Advance
Have two or three different varieties of bread pre-sliced at the sandwich bar, opt to feature more sliced cold cuts and vegetables while considering having a designated area for the set-up. Ensure that all the ingredients on display are away from the griller at all times; provide tongs and cutlery for guests to pick from the assortment. Have one person stationed to help guests pick and choose their fillings as well as slice the food once it has been grilled.
