i could totally totally be wrong, but our office ordered SOHO alot and theyre really really good. in my experience they come in their custom SOHO platters, so it looks less of a caterer type and fits much better for an office lunch/bar mitzvah type and less of a chasuna shmorg type. does anyone whos ordered SOHO know if they also make it look shmorgasboard style? bc i just dont know.

I don't know if that's my biggest concern...As long as everything else is great, that doesn't bother me much.

In regards to the meats, is everything meant to be served cold? Does it taste good that way?

What are some good options to get for kosher food when most of the company party will not be kosher?

Open to considering hot (I guess with Sternos, but open to other suggestions) and cold options.
Are you looking for a setup or individual plated?
Setup - Soho is great
Plated- Abigails

that’s a good callout - another difference between the soho platters and caterer. As far as I can remember the soho platters (meat) were cold/mild. All tasted great but I wonder if there’s a different vibe for a party than for a business lunch. Like for me, just to have such great food for lunch I’m happy even if it’s not warm (that’s the nature of delivered food) as opposed to going to a party where the expectation is a little higher.

Btw I promise I have no affiliation to either and both options are really delicious.

Oh, and I was told from the organizer that goldfedder/jm foods is under the OU

In terms of flavor, how would you compare SOHO vs Jeremy Goldfedder?

I liked Goldfeder pretty good imo. I mean the fact is they were grilling the burgers on the spot so that’s a better experience than delivered food. And props made a good theme. But back on topic I enjoyed the food taste wise
