Imagine catering to two hundred and fifty people who, for the most part, have some sort of special dietary need. At the Canadian Society of Intestinal Research Annual Conference, the Hyatt’s catering department was given this challenge. With a conference of this size, the presentation was another key factor along with the selection of food, and the Hyatt did a wonderful job at both.

The large banquet table was designed so the guests had numerous choices all displayed tantalizingly before them, and could choose from either side of the table. The menu ranged from four different kinds of bread from low fiber to high fiber, to a very tasty seafood salad beside a nutritious vegetable platter. Further menu items were the Swiss and cheddar cheeses, and the fresh and delicious roast beef and ham slices. At the far end of the table a selection of beverages such as cranberry, apple, orange juices, and tea was supplied. There also was a table specifically for gluten free participants provided by Panne Rizo Bakery.

However the best was saved for last as the favorite dessert item was the Hyatt's carrot cake that registered dietician Maggie Skiber loved.

Overall I was impressed by the Hyatt's catering menu, presentation, and the suitability of the food for conference participants with special dietary needs.
