burgers and dogs
jackie
08/02/06 		we're having a block party 2p -10p for about 65 adults and 35 kids. how many burgers should we have and we are also having a hot dog cart and are not sure how many hot dogs to buy. The only other things we're providing are sausage and peppers (planning on 20lbs of sausage) and corn on the cob.. planning on 85-90 pieces of corn? please any help you can give is greatly appreciated.

Break the whole corn cobs in half and that will be plenty. Allow 1 burger and 1 hot dog per person and you will have plenty. With the sausage and peppers, I would count that as the hot dogs for the grown ups, and get enough regular ones for 1 each for the kids. Some will eat two, but others will eat burgers.

With 100 people, you will have some vegetarian folks- consider adding 1 box of veggie burgers to you beef.

I am planning a corporate picnic. Approx 40 adults and 15 children. Everyone will bring a side dish. I figured most people will eat hot dogs so I figure 60 hotdogs and 40 brauts. Do you thinkg this should be enough?

Be sure to have sauerkraurt as a topping choice along with the chopped onions, relish, mustard, ketchup and grated cheese.
