I have a gig coming up and it is for 600 people. They are bicylist pedaling across the state and they asked that I cater thier event. They wanted pulled pork sandwiches and Lays potato chips priced by the plate. I was figuring $6.00 per plate. Serving a 1/4 lb sandwich.
I was figuring 4 oz per person x 600 people = 2400 oz / 16 oz per lb = 150 lbs of meat. However that is cooked. I believe I need to add 30% for the bone and the fat cap of the Boston Butt.
Would someone please tell me if I am on the right track and how many lbs of meat you would figure. I am needing a raw figure.
