Catering in Crystal Bay.
From the deli in South Reno, Crystal Bay is a 30-mile run, up the mountain via the Mt. Rose Highway, US-50 through Carson City, or I-80 through Truckee. The catering trucks make drives like it seven days a week.
The stateline point of the north shore, casinos on one side and quiet coves on the other.
Both shores know the truck. Beach permits, lodge kitchens, altitude timing for a buffet; the details differ venue to venue, and thirty years up here means few surprises.
Everything on the printed menus is fair game for the drive: hot entrée buffets starting at $17.99 per person, whole-house sandwich trays, numbered box lunches, appetizer spreads built by the piece, and carved tri-tip that shows up still resting. Add the Mobile Pub's taps or the food truck when the party calls for it.
Cold-season note for Crystal Bay: the kitchen plans winter runs around road conditions, leaving earlier and favoring dishes that hold heat beautifully. Thirty winters of mountain events have shaped that checklist.
