Party for 60, Numbers check please
I'm throwing a party for about 60 people. Mix of men and women of all ages. I have counted kids younger than 14 as half an adult.
Well 48 have rsvp'd but the with 18 outstanding so I figure I should cook for 60 and let people take home leftovers is there are any. Here's what I'm thinking: 4 packer Briskets in the 10-12# range 10#s of pasta to become pasta salad 28 cups of beans, similar to Kerri's Hog Apple. I had made too much for my part of a family get together and have had them in the freezer. 12# Green Salad Does that sound about right? Too little? WAY too much? Keeping in mind that I would rather have a little too much than not enough, especially on any meat as you can always find a use for leftover BBQ. Do you think I should add another meat? If so any suggestions? I was originally thinking of grabbing some Italian sausage from costco/sams for a pseudo-Texan bbq. Also we were thinking of cake and ice cream to finish. Any thoughts on how much of that? Thanks!

Off the cuff. Brisket looks ok. Sides look a little short. Might consider hot dogs for the kids, and picky adults. You'd be surprised. I'm sure someone with more experience will chime in. Cheers, and good luck!!!

Throw a couple butts on there if you have room, they'll take about as long as the brisket.

Thanks for all the information. It went off without a hitch and everyone loved it! Not to many up here had ever had brisket before.
I ended up cooking about a dozen racks of baby backs as well as the brisket. There were no burnt ends left and just enough brisket to make a pot of chili. There were several racks of ribs left though. They are now vac packed and in the freezer. I had a full pan and a half pan of beans with about a half pan left over. The pasta salad was off by about 1/2 on the too much side same with the lettuce salad. Quote:
