Party for 100

[P Hopkins]

I am cooking for our Kentucky Derby party this Saturday and need some guidance on portion sizes. We will have 50 couples ranging in age from 30-70 and the party will be between 2-3 hours long. Menu is below. I will have more than enough meat which I plan on sending some home with folks who enjoy it. The sides is where I am getting stumped! How many servings per pound should I figure?

3 meats - 4 pulled pork shoulders, 2 spiral cut hams and 2 whole briskets

4 sides - potato salad, coleslaw, baked beans and Burgoo stew.

Thanks,

Hoppy

Hoppy -

I used this BBQ Catering Planner when I cooked for a fund raiser at church. You will need to play with the numbers a little bit to see how it works, but it is pretty neat.
