For 300 people, I would plan:
105 pounds meat for pulling You need sandwich condiments (amounts on sandwich page) and a sandwich filling for the vegetarians in the crowd. If children, I suggest also a big bowl of swirled peanut butter and jelly 30 gallons side salads Potatoes are OK. Can do in the deeper pans, but they are faster and usually better tasting in the shallower pans. Fruit is enough for about 200-250 What about adding cheese trays or chips and dips? |

Oops realized I forgot to add amounts of meat. That is cooked 105 lbs cooked Or 105 raw? We planned on doing bbq sauce and individual butter portions. Salt and pepper of course. Good idea on the peanut butter and jelly! Ooof good thing I checked.. double up on the salads. Would I just do 10 gallons each then? Or would you do more of one than the other? I will for sure check on mellons to see if they are nice, plump and juicy.. otherwise maybe add a few pounds of each. Chips and dips would be okay, do you have a good idea on how to serve them? Just a bowl for chips and bowl and scoop for dip? Thank you so much for the reply! |

That's raw weight on the meat. I guess 10 of each for the salad; no idea what's popular in your area. Yes, or you could put on the individual tables, sort of an appetizer... |
