Grad party food

Jonathon I agree with you, it would be unbelievable for that to happen but in todays world who knows.
bocephus Afew years ago my best friend asked me to roast a whole hog for his daughters wedding.I also did the green beans and potatoes.It was buffet style and my wife and daughters were keeping the pans full as people were filing through.One guy had my wife in tears yelling at her because a green bean pan was empty for 30 seconds.So nothing suprises me.There seems to be one in every crowd!

RON PARRISH I agree, it only takes one. My wife and I used to put on the meal for our dog club at an event, fed about 75 people. Someone complained about the price. Brisket, sausage, homemade beans and potatoes with all kinds of desserts, (wife loves to bake) all they needed to supply was their beverage. He thought $7 was too much for all you could eat. She told him that there was a restaurant nearby see what $7 would get you there, he shut up and paid.

kyle I’m glad you updated your post from Complaints to Compliments. I think a few of us Blue Team folks were ready to whip some butt. And were not talking pork butt!

kyle Who complains about the food at a funeral?! That might be the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard of. I hope someone put them in their place?

GWG8541 I think this would have gone beyond orange and blue, I think the whole community would have been happy to straighten those people out!

bocephus Quite so. I could only estimate that I have served what must be approaching 100,000 people. While most are appreciative, there are always a few in the crowd. They can make serving others a very poor experience.
The very sad thing is that by a huge percentage, and I am very crushed to say this, the most guilty are the religious self righteous. Rather than using the opportunity to spread the Word, they damage it.
Goes back to the old saying that if you have to tell someone you’re a lady, then you’re not.

We sent out 150 invites to my sons grad party. I know not everyone will come. I have 6 pork butts, 2 -18 pound turkeys and 20 pounds of little smokies, plus all the salads and desserts. Just wondering if I only need to smoke 4 of the butts as long as I have the two turkeys now. I dont want to run out of food, but dont want a ton left over either. Chef , what’s your thought. Anyone else can chime in too. Thanks in advance
-
Chef thanks for the response. Its not until the 26th. I will have a little over 100 pounds of meat total, so I think I will be fine with all the other side dishes. Sounds like you had a busy weekend. thanks again.
kyle How’s your prep going for the big event? Take plenty of pictures, or if you are like me, when I’m serving it’s better for me to ask someone else to take pictures. We would love to see from prep to party!

Chef its going good. all my meat is thawing out, got my rubs all made. My mom, wife, and son are out in the pole barn setting up tables and decorations as we speak. Got all my wood cut/split/piled next to the smoker. Feeling really good about things. Thanks again to you and the others for the advice and support. I will try and post some pics, fri is going to be my smoking day. Also decided to smoke all 6 butts. I got the room so why not.

I wish you good sucess with your effort

Rambow thanks. I will let you guys know how it goes. will try and do some pics when I’m smoking like chef suggested.

It will go quick. I remember doing our son’s wedding, we were ahead of the curve at the beginning of the day and by the time dinner was served I was 30-45 minutes behind. Nobody knew but me. Enjoy the challenge and the day… You won’t know your limits if you don’t push your boundaries.

craigrice thanks. Once I decided to make what will probably be too much meat, I feel a lot better. I know I can smoke meat, its how much is what scares me. I feel good now.
kyle Too much is always better
, Vacuum seal left overs and sous vide later for a great quick meal and will remind you of that great day again. Good luck and remember to have fun! -
Are the little smokies home made? I want to try and make some myself. Good luck with the party.
