is Blowin Smoke!
The backstory:
I was elected to cook for our office Christmas Party held today. I'm in Corporate Logistics, but I have an office at a depot where 20 hard working Bread Route Salespersons work, (Plus 2 Supervisors).
Since I'm on vacation, I thought today would be the best day to get the party taken care of by doing an overnight cook. I que'd 2 large briskets and 4 butts. I decided against sausages as originally planned because I already had 50 pounds of meat cooking, along with 13 pounds of potato salad.
Just fyi...I'm known for making waaayy too much food whenever I cook for home get togethers. I basically take what I think we will need, and double it. :crazy:
50 pounds of pre cooked meat is a lotta meat, even with the shrink. The cooked meat filled up our ice chest top to bottom, side to side.
The story:
So, I get to the depot and start pulling the pork and slicing the brisket. The guys roll in and can smell the food all the way out by where they park their trucks. They walk into the office and are estatic to see platters of pulled pork, sliced brisket, and potato salad.
Then it got interesting...they kept coming back, and coming back, and coming back. Guys saying, they are full, but they can't stop eating. A couple of the guys ate 4 sandwiches each..... on large 6 inch french rolls (If I'm lying, I'm dying)!
Lots of great comments I won't even get into...I've NEVER seen a group eat like this before.
By the time everyone was done, there was 1 small plate of pulled pork scraps left (Probably a pound of meat total)...Nothing else!
Guys are planning on finishing that for breakfast, tomorrow morning, 4am.
WOW!...Just Wow!
