Brisket and catering gig (pics)

[cmcadams]

Last weekend, my wife and I catered a party (personal cheffed, actually) for a couple that were celebrating both of their 40th birthdays. We cooked for 50 people: brisket, pulled pork, tomato pie, barbecue beans and cole slaw.

Some good looking stuff right there.

Nice, Curt. I'm betting there weren't any leftovers....

Matt, there were lots of leftovers... I cooked for 50, and only 25 were there! But it still worked out great... Nothing like the shindigs you're up to now!

Curt, nice spread! Are you getting busy with the cheffing/catering gigs?

BBS, I had 2 weekends in a row, one vending at a charity concert, the next doing the bday party, but now I'm off until Sept 10, when we'll be doing a barbecue class at a local kitchen supply store. I don't have time to do too much personal cheffing!

There wouldn't have been leftovers if I was there! Or if the other 25 had shown up.

It's great to hear that it sounds like you are doing just fine w/ your catering. We take it alot slower than you. We don't work that often....we're lazy. :wink:

Matt, ask my wife... I invented lazy! I just committed to some things right at once... I'll laze around for a while now, though....

However, when you do work, you do it for 3 straight days, and your clients are a bit more high end!!!

Norco, they liked it enough to tip us an extra c note.

Gary, we've only personal cheffed twice, really. We've vended a couple of times, too, but just pulled pork when we did that.
