This is a nice, diverse menu. Here are the amounts I would do.
boneless chicken thighs-1 per person grilled vegetable sandwich(catered 12ft)- this is 30-35 servings approximately
penne ala vodka- about 7 pounds dry pasta shrimp cocktail- people are very greedy about this, and it is better to skip it than to run out. To serve, you need at least 1 pound shrimp per 6 and 1 cup sauce per 6 hummus and chips- 1/4 cup hummus per person, 1 pound chips per 12 three bean salad- about 3 gallons veg. platter- consider a fruit tray instead, especially if their are many children expected. see either veggie tray page or the fruit tray page for amounts for 100 If this saves you time, trouble or money, consider a donation, maybe a dime per person, to support this site. |
