Does this sound right for 35 people
I have been asked to do a party for about 35 people and a bunch of those are big eaters apparently. It was originally going to be pit beef but they have changed their mind. I had actually started another thread about that but it doesn't much matter now. It is my parents party so I am not looking to make any money at all but also don't want way too much or too little food.
Does this sound about right? 35-40lb pork butt (raw) 9 lbs of slaw 1/2 gallon bbq sauce 1.75 gallons of baked beans 4 or 5 dozen rolls I figured those numbers out with 50% loss on the pork and 4oz servings but most people having multiple. 3oz of slaw per person, 3/4 cup of beans per person, and the sauce was pretty much a complete and total guess. Also, any idea on the weight of 1.75 gallons of beans? |

I'd go with 25 pounds raw meat. That should yield at least 15 pounds. The slaw is about right. The beans - a #10 can (like Bush's) will serve about 22 per can. Sauce and rolls is plenty. Good luck.

I had a feeling that was going to be too much pork.
Thanks. |

It's your parents party and the folks are big eaters. 1/2 lb of cooked meat is NOT too much. So 35 to 40 lbs raw sounds good as I usually get a 50% yield.
Beans - if you doctor them you can start with a #10 can of bush's. Add onion, apples, raising, pulled pork, and whatever else you want - maybe a different type of bean. Plus Q sauce, ketchup, etc. Make 2 1/2 pans and it will serve the crowd but not with a lot left. I generally have 4 #10 cans plus a half pan of pork and it makes 6 1/2 pans. We just did 10 lbs of slaw and put into 4 oz cups and had about 100 cups. I like more than a 4 oz serving and a 3 oz is just not enough IMHO.

35lbs raw meat plus 10% gives you 1/2lb per person plus a small buffer and is what I would cook. 38-40lbs
