Hello, Suzy, As I have said repeatedly on the bulletin board, this is for home/volunteer cooks, not pro caterers, and it sounds like you are in the second category. For pros, I recommend the boards at chef2chef.com or cheftalk.com. That said, this is what I would tell a family cook about your plans: Overall, you have enough food for a mealtime, which means you will probably have a fair amount of leftovers.
125 lbs pork loin w/
40 lbs green salad
30 lbs.dinner rolls- if you intend people to make sandwiches, you need larger rolls, at least 4ounces per person
20 lbs. of potato chips- need dips
40 gallons of strawberry lemonade probably way too much, I use 8 gallons per 100 plus ice, see beverage planning page Nescos only hold about 20-25 pounds meat (60-70 servings) each, safely. |

Hi again Ellen, I guesss my terms sound professional, but only because I work as a server in a hotel, and have for many years. I can make a room look pretty, or a buffet table, but purchasing and preparing food for weddings is something I do for friends at church once every year or two(and swear that I will never do another!:)Lol! Thanks again for your help!! |

Good luck, then, you will need help and lots of refrigerator and freezer space. |
