Jemma, here are the amounts I would use: Pineapple glazed spiral ham (6 spiral hams @ 20lbs each = 120 lbs)85 plenty Teriyaki Baked Boneless Chicken Breast (60 1bs of boneless chicken breast) 45 OK Green Beans (6 #10? Cans) 8-9, and consider doing my ellen's better green bean casserole on the big pots page, it really is better Mac/Cheese 6 (disposable aluminum pans 20 3/4"x 12 4/5" 3 1/5" deeper than a chafing pan)-OK, could do one more white & wheat rolls & cornbread (mixture) 201bs Need 4-5 pounds butter Consider adding one more fruit or veggie dish if you don't do the green bean casserole
Before the Buffet; Why You May Need an Appetizer Table This does not have to be complicated. Three items, plus a punch, or two if one is alcoholic, are sufficient. Typically, include a fruit tray, a cheese tray and an attractive dip or spread; or you can go with a dinner theme such as TexMex with chips, salsas, Texas caviar and guacamole; maybe shrimps if budget permits. One appetizer service area is needed for each 100 guests. If this saves you time, trouble, or money, consider a donation, maybe a dime per person, to support the site. |
