WRITTEN BY CINDY SCHWEICHHANDLER
Carefree get-togethers on the restaurant scene with family and friends are satisfying , fun ... and still , sadly , somewhere in our futures . While we wait for atime when someone else cooks , serves and cleans up for us again , local caterers offer a variety of alternatives . These area businesses , whose menus can be found online , provide ( socially distanced ) gatherings with in-home fine dining experiences , before , during and after the holidays .
