04/16/15 		Many guests will try to eat an early dinner, so I suggest you bulk out this menu a bit.

Teriyaki Chicken - 90 lbs chicken breast,
BBQ sliders - 90 lbs chopped BBQ,
This would make more than 500 full size sandwiches, or over 1000 sliders. suggest just 60 pounds
36 pounds bread, OK. I usually do 12 slider rolls per pound, that would be over 700 sliders
variety BBQ sauces, 1 cup per 8

Suggest you add at least 2 deluxe fruit trays (fruit tray page, bottom) and 3 classic relish trays (veggie tray page, top)

Suggest you add a pasta salad with 16-18 pounds dry pasta, can be made ahead. Rotini, radiatore, or bowties.

Suggest 4 gallons slaw.

Brie Bites 2 per person, OK, none left
chocolate dipped strawberries 2 per per person, OK

Assuming cake also.

10 gallons sweet tea, at least 15
10 gallons lemonade, at least 12
10 gallons unsweet tea, 8-9 OK

Consider adding dinner level coffee with the cake, see beverage planning page.

If this saves you time, trouble, or money, please make a donation, a nickel or dime per guest, to support this site. Thanks.
