graduation party for 150 people
Christine 06/04/17	HI Ellen, I am having a graduation party for 150 people I will have chips and wraps for when they first arrive. The meal will consist of Chicken fingers pulled pork penne ala vodka chicken francaise sausage and peppers eggplant parm meatballs How much of each should I make? Thanks Christine
ellen 06/08/17	Chrstne, if you are doing this at home or any home kitchen, this is way too many entrees and too much oven food. What is your kitchen situation, and are you willing to revamp the menu? Write back.
Christine 06/09/17	Thank You Ellen, I decided not going to get the chicken fingers but instead get a hot dog cart for the kids. I am going to get some entrees made at my friends and brought over. I have 4 neighbors that I can use their houses for the refrigerator and oven. Plus I have 2 huge commercial ovens at the firehouse. The pulled pork I will make and keep in a few crock pots.
Christine Sliwinski 06/13/17	Hi Ellen, This is what I was thinking of serving: Appetizers 150 wraps , wings, mozzarella sticks and chips Dinner penne ala vodka - 5 1/2 trays Chicken Fanchese - 2 large trays or 4 1/2 trays sausage and peppers - 4 1/2 trays eggplant parm - 4 1/2 trays meat balls - 200 = 20lbs ground beef Hot dogs 100 boiled in a hot dog cart Is this enough? Thank You Christine
ellen 06/16/17	This looks doable, I would do 300 meatballs and definitely add a green salad per the plan for 100 list; and maybe fruit with the appetizers. You really don't need both the sausage and the hot dogs- either would do. You can write back. If this saves you time, trouble, or money, please make a donation to support the site. Thanks.
