How much do I need to feed the folks?
-
When ordering sandwich meats, a good rule of thumb is to order 1 pound of meat for 3
adults, or perhaps 2 adults and 2 small children. Buns and sauce are
included.
-
A
slab of ribs will normally serve 1-2 adults or sometimes 2 adults and 1
small child. A half chicken will server 1-2 adults. When used as a "finger food" item, it is good to remember that
ribs are similar to shrimp or peanuts--there is never enough of either!
-
A
pint of slaw, beans, corn relish, or potato salad will normally serve 3 to 4
adults. Usually folks eat more beans or potato salad than slaw or relish.
This is a good formula that will extend to quarts and gallons. Gallons are
the best value when you are serving 25 to 30 guests.
-
When
offering a combination of sandwich meat and meat on the bone, take into consideration that many of your
guests might eat a portion of each of the meats. In the case of ribs,
experience indicates that most people eat ribs until all of the ribs are
gone! In this case, we'll cut the slabs into two bone pieces for you, so a
slab will server 4 to 6 people. This way everyone can enjoy a sandwich
and a couple of rib bones.
-
In
most cases a bottle of sauce will serve 5 to 9 people. Of course, the
Hoochie Coochie will go much, much further. The bottle of sauce will keep
for months when refrigerated. However, the Hoochie Coochie sauce might keep
forever.
-
When
ordering desserts please try to order the banana pudding 24 hours in
advance. Usually the banana pudding will serve 18 to 20 adults.
Our pies usually serve 8 to 10. As is the case with meats and sides, if you
offer more than one dessert, allow for some folks to try small portions of
each.
-
If you have any questions or
special needs, every member of our staff will be glad to offer you
assistance.
