Memorial Day weekend BBQ. How much food for 100 people? Hot Dogs, burgers, salads what not..?

Question

I know it's early but I'm a planner. :)

Answer 1

No, it is not to early to plan it out. Good planning can save you lots of time, money, and stress.Here's what my portion control page from Smart & Final says. Hot dogs, 4 dogs per pound = 10lbs of hot dogs = 40 servings; hamburgers, 80% lean allow 1/4 pound per serving. Wet salad ( potato salad, macaroni salad etc) allow 4 oz. per person. Fresh salad allow 3oz. per person. Salad dressing allow 2oz. per person. Sheet cake a 11x18 =45-50 servings ( a 2" sq. piece) Ice cream 3-4 oz per person.Potato chips a 2lb bag =32 servings
