If you are having a home made meal prepared by several chefs, feature a picture of all the chefs holding up a sign “The Chefs." Follow this by a photo of the entire food spread, be it a buffet or individual servings. Next you might have a photo of each chef holding up their specialty dish (and perhaps include a box with the recipe, too).
If eating at a restaurant perhaps take a photo of the menu, the kitchen crew with the honoree and the table setting before people begin to eat.
If you are doing a "pot luck" consider developing a menu for your event based upon the foods that your honoree liked at various points in their lives.
For example, if you are organizing a 25th birthday party you might consider:
Hors d'œuvre based upon food your honoree liked around age 5.
Appetizers based upon foods your honoree liked around age 10.
Main course based upon foods your honoree liked at about age 15.
Desert based upon foods your honoree liked at about age 20.
