Hi Ellen, Would you please look over my menu for my daughter's grad party? It's an open house 1-5.
30 lbs. pulled pork
3 of those large pans mac & cheese
3 1/4 gal. cole slaw 7 large bags potato chips
veggie tray: 5 lbs carrots
1 gal. pickles watermelon (just making small slices)
6 gal. ice tea (2 sweet, 4 unsweetened)
strawberry short cake: plus we're renting an ice cream cart I should have plenty of help at party time, but very limited help leading up to the party, which is why I didn't plan on a variety of fruit--takes too much time to prepare. Does this sound adequate? Thanks for your valued input! Cindy |

I completely forgot to mention that it's for 150 people. Sorry! |

150 people
30 lbs. pulled pork
3 of those large pans mac & cheese- you need at least 12 pounds dry pasta, that is more like 4-5 pans, plus 1 quart sauce per pound
3 1/4 gal. cole slaw- OK
7 large bags potato chips- 1 pound per 12
veggie tray: plenty
1 gal. pickles- good watermelon (just making small slices)- about 1/2 pound per person
6 gal. ice tea (2 sweet, 4 unsweetened) I would do at least 10, 12 would be OK, the new fruit flavors with green tea are festive; or some could be lemonade
strawberry short cake:
plus we're renting an ice cream cart If you have a good many adults, consider dinner level coffee from the beverage page- very nice with a scoop of ice cream in it. If this saves you time, trouble or money, consider a donation of a dime per person to support this site. |
