Hello!
Planning a few 100-200 people "self serve buffet" style events. I am pretty good at estimating food needed for selling out of our trailer at events where I am controlling things, but this is a bit newer to me.
If I am serving pulled pork, brisket, a 3 sides (slaw, beans, corn casserole), is 4oz per each item per person a decent average to use for planning purposes? Not serving football teams or crazy big eaters or anything.
I'm guessing I would need about 80lbs brisket and 80 lbs pork (raw) to get close to that for 150 people, if indeed that is a good portion average.
Thanks!
