Back in the day, weddings were always held in cheesy banquet halls with very predictable catering options. And let&#8217;s not forget that rubber chicken has always made its way into every wedding meal joke, but that doesn&#8217;t mean that the joke has to become truth. Weddings are now vehicles to showcase fine dining and out-of-the-box appetizers and entrees. Caterers are stepping up the wedding food game, and creating food that is not only tasty, but also aesthetically cutting edge. <\/p>\n<p>This weekend was Husband Yenta&#8217;s 30th birthday and we had a food-a-thon of celebrity chef meals. Since Food Network is constantly airing in our house, I&#8217;ve become interested in and fascinated by food trends and creative ways that chefs take simple, every day dishes and give them a unique spin. <\/p>\n<p>So, I decided to revisit some Real Weddings that have been showcased on The Wedding Yentas and feature some beautiful food that may inspire you or your wedding caterers. The days of rubber chicken are over! When it comes to a Jewish wedding, food comes first!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/yentas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/tarzana-california-jewish-wedding9.jpeg\" alt=\"\"
