More Questions for party of 50

You need to quit talking PANS and use ounces per serving. 2 17# briskets will only yield 17# of sliced meat. @ 4 ounces per serving that's 68 servings with no burnt ends. If self serve 4 ounces should be kicked up to at least 6 ounces. So 1 1/2 serving X 50 guests = 56# raw beef. Bump that up and use the points for your burnt ends. Boneless chicken won't have the shrinkage that brisket does. I'd figure 6 ounces raw per serving for a net of about 4 ounces. If you want leftover chicken do the 1 1/2 serving X 50 = 28# raw. Sides should be based on 4 to 6 ounces per serving. Don't forget to give them containers to hold the leftovers in. But this is just what I'd suggest to the buyer. I'm sure there are other opinions.
