Wedding for 200
Pulled Pork
Brisket Turkey Corn Green Beans Cheesy Potatoes Rolls w/butter Salad bar - Mixed greens, cheddar cheese, bacon bits, garlic croutons, italian dressing, ranch dressing Veggie, meat, and cheese trays Iced Tea My wife and I ran the whole show. My knees are killing me, but my bank account is happy. Catering feels like when we first started competition BBQ. You sometimes bring more than you should, you usually forget something, and everyone is working twice as hard as they really need to. But we are getting better at it. We only do a half dozen events a year. We are already taking notes for next time. I made extra pork and brisket so I wouldn't run out, but I knew that my extras could be used for another event for 250 in two weeks. Michael had fun.

Even if I say so myself, there were lots of rave reviews over the food.

I'll bet! I stood around and did a bit of future event marketing while "the girls" washed it all in the trailer. We cheat however, we use disposable pans and racks, covered with white, or, color coordinated skirts if requested. Throw the pan, wipe the rack, and toss skirts in laundry.

Always amazes me how people flip over good food. There are a bunch of bad caterers out there. Keep killin' 'em!

Totally worth it. You can get a quality look for less than half of a low end chaffer.

Good job and I do understand the hard work and the cleanup is a pain.
I like the salad bar idea!
