Back in the days when Front Page and Cherry Bim were competitors, there was some room to negotiate. Nowadays, Passion8 is Sydney's only top quality caterer and they can essentially dictate what they charge.<br /><br />The issue of costs is really due to the caterers, not the kashrus authorities. Even if Passion8 was allowed to use Melbourne shechted meat and chicken, I doubt this would make any significant impact on the prices they charge.<br /><br />The solution? Other caterers in Sydney should improve their perfomance so they can give Passion8 (and Melbourne caterers) a run for their money!Shalom bein adam l'chaveronoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1843426103950643279.post-77743063300193712892010-06-10T20:56:42.470+10:002010-06-10T20:56:42.470+10:00Yes, I too was at the wedding, not in teh separate...Yes, I too was at the wedding, not in teh separate area. Many of my fellow guests were not overly-orthodox, and didn't know much about the politics of the evening. But they really tucked into the food and were visibly impressed.
