Hi Brethren,
I am throwing a first birthday party for my daughter this saturday and I need some feedback on the menu. I am a little nervous over the food amount. Below is the menu with uncooked/untrimmed weights for the meats. Let me know if you think this is enough.
Headcount is currently 27 adults, 10 children and 4 babies. The group in general is probably average with regards to how heavy they eat. Not a lot of "Big-uns" in the group but a few.
Main foods
2 pork picnics for PP. Uncooked 20lbs.
1 brisket - uncooked 16lbs
3 racks of ribs.
1 package of chicken thighs (~10 thighs)
15 ears of Corn on the cobb
5lbs potato salad
5lbs macaroni salad
Half tray of baked beans
around 50 rolls
(plus off the menu will be 16 hot dogs and 15 .33lbs burgers - I don't want to cook these but will if needed).
Do you all think this is enough? Below is the rest of the menu.
Apps:
1 stick of pepperoni
A tray of Mozzeralla/tomato
1 tray of mac and cheese cups
Brushetta
Doritos, pretzels, tortilla chips in bowls
Salsa
1 crock pot of Moink balls
Drinks:
48 cans of mixed sodas
Pony keg of Yeungling
50+ bottles of water
Two one gallon jugs of iced tea
Fully stocked bar (my bar is pretty serious,lol)
Desserts:
72 cupcakes (24 spiced w/ cream cheese frosting; 24 funfetti w/ creamy choc frosting; 24 choc w/ PB frosting).
One large edible arrangement fruit basket per table
So what do you think? Could really use the guidance on the meats.
