Block Party Planning

[Bluesman]

Tomorrow I'll be cooking for about 50 and doing some BBQ demos as well. As for my menu here it is. Appreciate any thoughts.

(2) 8# shoulders. Figure about a 13# yield to get abut 100 sammies on cheap white buns

(4 dozen) Cupcake chicken thighs: Anybody ever do this with precleaned and skinless? I don't wanna debone and scrape 4 dozen thighs...:tsk:

(24) ABT's. Don't have any pork in the freezer so gonna use some Pepper Stout Beef..........Yes...or No...:becky:

(4) Racks of ribs for taste test and also demo the snake on a kettle...

(4 dozen) Moinks....:bow:

So what do ya think?

The predicted yield on the butts seems a bit high IMO, but if that's what you've experienced, good.

I wouldn't bother with cupcake chicken, just throw some nicely seasoned thighs on the grill, and go with it.

ABT's without meat are good too, PSB might not be to the majorities liking?

4 racks for 50 people, kinda thin I'd say.

Have fun, looking forward to hearing how everything turns out!

what time are we eating? Oh wait, that's a bit of a long drive. Looks like you have all the major animal categories covered, and while I've never done ABTs with pepper stout beef, it sounds great. Are there kids too? Smoke some hot dogs. Cheap and don't take up much space.

Thanks. I like the thigh idea wayyyyy better. As for the ABT's I''l make some with and without PSB. Kids are covered with dogs...:thumb: And the 4 racks are to demo the snake method and a taste test of Chris Lilly wrap.

Should be fun, be sure to take pics!
