OK, I'm cooking for 130-150 this weekend, doing pulled pork sammies.
Assuming there are chips, salads and desserts, what is my basic formula for calculating how much meat I need to buy? I thought I remembered a 40% weight loss during cooking and then plan 1/4 to 1/3 pound of meat per person.
It's been a while since I've done a big one and I don't want to screw about my purchasing tonight.
Thanks,
Bill
