Finding new and exciting ways displays is always a must for events. Here's a few of the fun and creatives ones we spotted during the National Restaurant Show. 

This impressive seafood display added a bit of whimsy by not only having the claws emerge from the ice, but a cleverly arranged bananas resembled birds. 

During a dinner with Unilever Food Solutions (at Michelin star restaurant Esme), miniature caviar bites were served on a sunflower (also edible). Check back next weekf or more from this event.

Champagne Creative made an impact during Catersource + The Special Event 2023 with their napkin delivery service, could plates and silverware be the next iteration? 

Boats have been synonomous with sushi for years, but why not extend this display idea to other seafood, such as oysters, shrimp, lobster rolls, caviar, etc. 

 Decorate your buffet setups with garlands and other decor to add a pop of color. In this case, this citrus crochet garland would be right at home at a rustic barn wedding. 

Tomahawk steak carving stations have been all the rage in recent years, but why not up the ante by setting up an Iberico ham carving station. 

Elevate your charcuterie display by serving cheese cubes directly out of a cheese wheel. 

Dress up your dessert table with florals presented adorably in ice cream cones.
