I didn't really have a fave food that stood out although I liked most of them. The desserts were pretty good. I was hoping for ice cream, lol.
I did like the soup...almost anything with strawberries I'll eat.
I must admit that my collegiate asked and got A1 sauce for the beef portion of the beef salad plate. She passed around the bottle...it added more flavor, lol.
I know that is difficult to plan for almost 1000 people but the Marriott staff was wonderful in bringing exceptions, whether it was an entree, dessert or drink ((a couple of sisters got Pepsi, lol).
As for the "tea", I heard it was great but don't mess with my sweet tea!
