Dear Ellen, I am cooking dinner for 75 high school football players - after practice, and on a night before a game. I am servicing lasagna and flank steak torpedo sandwiches. I'm thinking fruit salad for e side and ice cream sandwiches for dessert. Do I have enough items? Do I need meatball subs too or potato salad? Or corn on the cob? For quantity, I'm figuring 5 pans 11x17 of lasagna, 200 torpedo rolls, 50 lbs flank steak, fruit bowl of watermelon, grapes and pineapple, and 300 ice cream sandwiches. Is that enough? And do you have a suggestion for what to marinate the flank steak in? Thanks so much - your site is wonderful! |

I would tweak the menu a little in order to increase carbs and reduce costs to you. Assume that they will eat like 100 adults, allowing for teen appetites and a few coaches lasagna, 5 pans 11x17 of lasagna, OK. Consider making 1 meatless as you may actually have a vegetarian or 2 in the group
flank steak torpedo sandwiches, 200 torpedo rolls, 50 lbs flank steak,
fruit salad, see the fruit tray page. Trays are prettier, hold better and the leftovers are more usable. ice cream sandwiches- 2 per person is very adequate and 3 is extravagant- 4 is too much This may save you time, trouble, or money. If so, please make a donation, maybe a dime per guest, to support this site. Thanks |
