Hey folks,

I'm planning to cook for my son's high school drama club where they are selling food during the rivalry football game. It's a pretty packed event so they expect to sell a good bit.

So questions:

If I wanted to make 100 brisket sandwiches and 100 pulled pork sandwiches what would you all recommend I start with for raw pounds of each? I'd like the sandwiches to be fairly substantial. 5oz each?

I plan to pull the pork and chop all of the brisket including point and flat to make things easier. Thinking a scoop of some kind to regulate how much meat goes on each sandwich.

Also, any thoughts on how to price it? Maybe $6 for pulled pork and $8 or even $9 for the brisket?

I'm going to donate all of the meat and the buns, but obviously want to maximize bang for buck while also providing a great product.

Any general feedback in addition to the amount/servings info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jason
 
I usually figure 50% yield, so at 5 ounces each that is 50 ounces cooked, or 100 ounces raw for both meats.

I see you're as good at math as I am Ron. (there's a reason I'm in sales now)

50 ounces cooked @ 5oz a serving would be 10 servings, but I need 100 servings each!::p

My math says 100 ounces raw at 50%yield =50 ounces or 10 sandwiches, so 1000 ounces=500 cooked ounces and 100 sandwiches.
 
50% on the pork. For brisket, I get a 45% average yield from the packer weight before trimming. So if the cryovac weight is 15lbs I'd expect to get 6.75lbs of edible meat. $6 on the pork and $9 on the brisket is what I'm selling for here.
