Can you give me food/catering recommendations for a house party?

I had a housewarming in January and picked up Lawrence Fish Market sashimi (and it was outstanding and a good value). I’m debating going back there but I’d like other options for lunch. Any recommendations?

Trying to spend $200-300 for say 15 people ideally not too far from Logan Square.

Been baking for a few months now, and this is my latest – the best flavor yet but I have question.

Picture number four shows the bottom, which still has some gummy parts. It's because the recipe called for a couple of ice cubes under the sling for moisture. Wondering if I should get rid of that? I also use pie weights to keep the bread off the floor of the pot and parchment paper on top of the pie weights.

Also pictures five and six show my second-to-latest versus now. I think the starter was struggling and as a result the loaf came out very gummy and flat. I rejuvenated my starter over the last week and the loaf on the right is what I came up with today.

I’d love some guidance on how to fix the bottom and also got to get the top a little bit crustier. Thanks in advance!

recipe:
- 100 g starter
- 350 g water
- 500 g unbleached bread flour
- 10 g salt

Steps include:

  1. Shape the dough.
