Knows what a fatty is.
I'll be cooking for a 90 plate fund raiser this weekend and have a couple of questions if I may.
We will be selling a plate with a sandwich, baked beans and coleslaw. My first question deals with serving size. Is a 5oz sandwich a decent size? How about the slaw and beans, do you measure by 1/4 or 1/3 cup servings or by weight?
Second is how much uncooked butts? Is the 5oz serving cooked weight or raw weight when estimating how much to buy?
Third this is a fund raiser for a pretty cheap bunch of mooks so we don't want to go crazy on the price or make them feel like the plate was small. We want to go for a $6 or $7 plate w/ a soda.
I used 5 oz cooked weight for the meat estimate and came up with 56lbs of uncooked butt for this and it priced it out to about $3.40 a plate using 5oz meat, roll, 4 oz beans, 4 oz slaw, some sauce, a fork, and a 3 compartment tray. If this was served up using these quantities would most people be satisfied?
I will adjust my plan as per your advice. Thanks.
