I don't want full-on catering, I'd just like to pick up a few trays of interesting, tasty fingerfood. Mon Aug 11 19:23:23 -0700 2003 0 ellin 1 287034 Here's a link to a recent thread on this topic.

Picnics Deli in Costa Mesa (canapes, stuffed cherry tomatoes, mini latkes with chicken salad and other - not your regular picnic stuff) Plums in Costa Mesa - may be more catered dishes and salads than finger food, but some. Turnip Rose in Costa Mesa - more often used for corporate and events, but could certainly do a home party with some dishes. Tue Aug 12 14:55:16 -0700 2003 287031 0 kc girl
