Party for 100 buffet
MaryBeth 04/14/19	Ellen- I need some help here- need to know how much to buy for each food item for 100 people. Garden salad- tom. onions , cucumber ? Chicken tenders, I was thinking 175 pieces ? Mostacolli w. marinara, I was thinking 10 lbs Fettuccine Alfredo 8 lbs ? polish sausage / sauerkraut I was thinking 20lbs sausage? Shredder It beef/ w rolls ????? Veggie medley ?? cocktail wieners
ellen 04/14/19	MaryBeth, having 4 meats is a lot for 100, and means you either have leftovers or risk running out of the popular choice. Would you consider going to 2 or 3? Also, is the pasta dry weight of pasta or finished weight of casserole? Please write back. It also helps to know the type event and age of guests.
MaryBeth 04/15/19	Ellen- This is for a 60th Anniversary. Some kids mostly adults. The pasta I figured as dry weight. I can eliminate the polish/kraut Thank you
ellen 04/15/19	Garden salad- tom. onions , cucumber ?Use he plan for 100 salad table, it also has dressings Mostaccioli w. marinara, I was thinking 10 lbs Fettuccine Alfredo 8 lbs ? These are good. One meatless for any vegetarians Veggie medley ?? About 24 pounds Shredder It beef/ w rolls ????? 1 pound prepped beef makes 6 buns.

MaryBeth 04/15/19	For the Beef it will be shredded on a 4 inch roll, I did not mention that before. Same on the lbs? Also, chuck or rump roast better in your opinion? I would love to support you... do you have a address I can send to? I do not like to use cc on websites. Have been compromised in the past.
ellen 04/22/19	Yes. sill plenty. Only 5 per pound with these larger rolls. Consider adding 8 pounds sliced raw onions and a gallon of pickles. I like chuck because I like a bit of fat. Rump is leaner. Both are good.
MaryBeth 05/26/19	Ellen- So you are saying to add raw onions and pickles on the side for beef sanwiches? I was also thing gardinera on the side?
MaryBeth 05/26/19	One more question, If we do a chopped salad w/ tom, carrots, cucumber, onion does the amount of lbs needed change?
ellen 05/26/19	The raw onions and the pickles are on the side for bbq sandwiches. Chopped salad is about the same weight. Let us know how it went.
