Hi Dawn,

Needs more food. Can you tell me the size of the pork tenderloins? The mac and cheese, even with potatoes, at least 25 pounds pasta, 15 cans baked beans, and also of green beans, about 95 pounds of fruit, Write back.

And insist that they have appetizer tables, at least 3, and at least 3 double-sided lines or 6 serving lines.

The food safety and staffing issues for a pary this size are huge.

the pork tenderloins are around 1.2# to 1.50# each
Do you think I need more brisket and tenderloin?
thanks so much

So about 45 pounds raw pork. For 375 people? With 2 meats, people take more meats, so allow 60 pounds raw each 100 instead of 50. For 375 that is about 225 pounds and you have about 190. 190 would be ok if there was only one meat, but with two you you have to add more. I would increase the pork.
