Parishfest

I was asked to cook pulled pork for a parish fest. How do I go about figuring out how much to cook. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I can't remember the exact ratio that we used back when I was a meat cutter, but I want to say that raw weight, boneless (or near boneless as in a boston butt) 1/2 lb. per person, and bone-in (ribs) about a pound per person. We are talking averages here.

Yes I agree with this. I guess my question is how many sandwiches should I plan on for a event like this.

My guess is to find out how many people.
If they give you a blank stare, I'd plan on 100 sandwiches.
66 pounds raw butt, buns, slaw, pickles, sauce, napkins.
I'd charge $900.

Your statement is almost like someone saying I want to get married. Kind of open ended. Give us some specifics and we will try and help.

How many people do you estimate you will be serving pork to?

Figure a half pound of raw pork butt will yield about 1/4 pound of cooked pulled pork. That's a starting point, now you have to figure out how many you plan to serve and do the math.
