And the time, and location. You might need some helpYeah we really need to know the whole menu.
Catering; where men show up to make a perceived financial killing because they think they can run a backyard bbq and wind up getting killed doing catering.At least this a reasonable question. It's usually, "I cooked my first port butt last saturday! It was awesome. My friend wants me to cater his wedding and there will be 400 guests. I have a tamale pot smoker made from a smokey joe, and the grate from my oven I can put over a hole in the ground. How much should I cook and what should my timing be?"
And a full list of the guest's demographic resume, religion and ... can I say this? Gender.Yeah we really need to know the whole menu.
This illustrates why I avoid the temptation of offering a recommendation on these questions. With my own experience as a novice I'd suggest factoring a 40% loss from the initial weight. It's nice that this site has members whom are well-experiencedi've done a bunch of catering in the past so do what you want with this reply.
on PP, budget 6 oz cooked weight per person. so budget 8 oz pre-cook weight to account for shrinkage.
