rib question

How many racks of ribs would you need for approximately 25 people. Mostly male, a few females.

With sides and another meat, 3 bones PP.
Only ribs, go 4 bones PP.

YMMV

We would do a half rack per person, unless there is a second meat.

What other foods will you be serving with the ribs?
Potato salad, coleslaw, beans, pickles?

Personally, I would do 15lbs. YMMV:tongue:

I'd cook 8-10 slabs depending on what the customer wanted. I'd give them the option of 3 to a rack or 2 to a rack...
