Because only amateur hosts cook for their friends, Southern Hospitality's now catering their artery-hardening eats (Memphis spareribs, sliced brisket, etc) three ways: Family Style for eight, a la carte, or build-your-own-sandwich. Also newly catering, tapas savants Boqueria, who'll drop off or staff occasions for 20-300, bringing passed or small plates (Bikini de Tres Quesos, Bocata de Boquerones...) plus a full premium bar (wine, beer, sangria, cocktails), offered on a sliding scale: 1st hour $25pp, 2nd hour $20pp, and every additional hour $15pp -- so either a reward for drinking like a man, or a calculated gamble that you won't.
