What is a small plate?
"Small plate" refers simply to the style of serving multiple small courses of food at a meal rather than a few larger courses. In the small plate world “appetizers are the new entrées,” and they comprise the ultimate tasting menu for your guest’s to pick and choose what amuses them. The options abound for service style with small plates: Serve them sit down in multiple courses. Serve them on rolling chef’s carts that meander through the throngs of guests. Serve them “club plate” style where they are hand butlered to the guests. Or serve them from performance stations with chef attendants.
