Pulled beef and pulled pork for 100...

[3montes]

Cooking for a friends 40th wedding anniversary on June 1st. All I'm providing is the meat. All sides and condiments are being provided by the family. Because the pulled meats are a long cook I'm doing the cooking Memorial day and then freezing the meat to serve on the 1st.

I was at the Resteraunt Depot and bought 58lbs of chuck roll for the beef and about 70lbs of bone in pork butt.
Going to be very difficult to judge how much will be needed. The group will be mixed between male and female, young and old. I am going to set up the food warmer with 1/2 pans. Beef in one pork in the other. And refill as needed from meat that is staying warm in the smoker.

People will be serving themselves so I am not controlling portions.
So I'm thinking maybe 40lbs of beef and 50lbs of pork butt?

I gotta think that would be adequate. It's always difficult with a couple meats...could be a run on one... eh..it is what it is.

You'll have way more than enough, especially if there are several sides like tater and mac salad, beans, rolls, etc. I usually figger about a half lb of meat per person when you have a mix of guests like you described.

I always figure 4-6 oz pre person. I have never run short. When you are figuring the butts You will loose 30% weight to fat rendering. But I figure you already had that covered. Looking forward to the pics.
