CT-Mike
is one Smokin' Farker
So I am in final stages of getting set up with the local health department to be able to publicly sling my BBQ.
I am also in final discussions with a local brewery to join their rotation of food trucks.
So with that said, I need some help to finalize my menu. I plan on offering the following:
- Pulled pork
- Brisket
- Burnt ends
- Smoked Italian sausage
- Baby backs
- Cole slaw
- Baked Beans
- Mac & Cheese
Serving sizes of proteins and sides will be approx. 4 oz of each.
Plan on offering the following choices:
- 2 meats, 1 side
- 2 meats, 2 sides
- 1/4, 1/2, full rack size of ribs with one or 2 sides
- 3 meats, 2 sides
- 1 meat 1 side for kids
- 3 pulled pork sliders, cole slaw, and 1 add'l side
There are a couple BBQ places nearby so I am using their pricing as a guideline, but also figuring in my unit cost.
Does this menu seem reasonable for just getting started? I plan to add chicken next year after I have had the time to develop a recipe and perfect the technique.
I could also use a good recipe for the Mac and cheese. I have one, but it uses 5 different cheeses, is time consuming, and expensive.
Thanks in advance for any and all help.
