Jack's Philly Catering

At work one day, a rep bought in lunch from Jacks Philly Catering (8500 Bustleton Ave). There was an assortment of sandwiches and wraps- Chicken salad, Turkey, Tuna, imitation crabmeat, veggie, etc. To accompany the sandwiches/wrap, there were mayonnaise, mustard, Russian dressing, and pickles. There was a garden salad with either creamy Italian dressing or thousand French dressing as well as cole slaw and potato salad. Lastly, the star of the lunch were the tray of assorted cookies. Below are pictures of mostly what I ate.

Garden Salad, Veggie Wrap, Imitation Crabmeat, Potato Salad, Cole Slaw

I felt like being fat so I got a veggie wrap, an imitation crabmeat sandwich, some garden salad with Italian dressing, some potato salad, and some cole salad.  In the veggie wrap were steamed carrots, steam broccoli, steam string beans, and sautéed onions.  The veggies were tender, but it was a little too bland for me and the wrap was kind of stale. I guess that’s why there were condiments on the side----to make it less bland. The imitation crabmeat was not bad. It was just a little dry. The crabmeat sandwich had a little mayo mixed with the imitation crabmeat that was probably store bought. The salad was just a plain garden salad with iceberg lettuce, shredded carrots, shredded purple cabbage, and chopped cucumbers. The salad dressing tasted like it was store bought. The potato salad and cole slaw tasted great. I think they were made with similar dressings. The favors were well balanced. It was creamy, sweet, and mildly tangy. As you can probably tell by now beside the potato salad and cole slaw I was not impressed.

Assort Cookie Dessert Tray

There were no descriptions that came with the cookies. Sometimes this is the downside of these catered luncheon. You don’t know what you are eating. So these are my guesses of the possible favors- chocolate cookie with white morsels, peanut butter, peanut butter and chocolate chips, and peanut butter and raisins. I tried what presumably were the peanut butter and raisins and the peanut butter and chocolate chips. So apparently what I thought was peanut butter was not. I cannot totally tell what it was but it didn’t taste like peanut butter. I am going to say it was some kind of preserve. Both cookies were chewy, delicious, and addictive. The so call peanut butter with raisin one was actually an oatmeal cookie. I tried to go on their website to find out that the cookies were but had no luck. It just said a dessert cookie tray. I guess I will never know. Nonetheless, these were some yummy cookies.
