That sounds right
I think she used red/green peppers for color though and don't think she added the carrot. My MIL said she used to make the topping with Miracle Whip (I've never tasted that) but since it was sweet knew that couldn't be all there was to it.
The candied nuts on the strawberry salad I'm fairly sure were purchased.

I'm guessing that's some butter run-off you see in the water...
My nephew-in-law did the catering. He has a catering side business. That day they did this event and another with the same food, (it was also his daughter getting confirmed) the night before did a 600 person event. I think they said they got 2-3 hrs of sleep. Oh and he has a FT job that must be near a 2-3 hr commute each way.
I don't know how he does it.

Heather's blog post on making the bacon is very interesting. See link

Yeah, I hardly ever go to them, but when I do I get interesting things. The taco "buffet"(?) is
kind of a fast-food place, but I don't think it's a national chain. You order a plate of tacos (or just a rice bowl), and go down the line, adding toppings... meat or grilled vegetables, choice of beans - black or pinto, fresh vegetables (tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, diced potatoes!, cucumbers, etc.), then top with queso, salsa, sour cream, guacamole, bacon, green onions, shredded cheese, chopped olives, corn, and cilantro.
The price is determined by whether you choose grilled vegetables, chicken, ground beef, or shredded pork at the beginning, then everything else comes with it.
Here, they serve you, but it could just as easily be self-serve, and then charge by weight. I think it would be unique and popular in the Midwest at your place.
Darn, now I'm hungry
