How many pounds of brisket will serve 50 people?!


Question:

How many pounds of brisket will serve 50 people?


Answers:

When we do event planning and catering, we figure that MOST people (split between women [who usually eat less than guys] and men) will consume about 4-6 ounces of the meat course, and I'm assuming that you're going to have side dishes (potato salad, chips, drinks, salads, dessert etc.) But remember, too, there are heavy eaters.......I'd say that 50 people would consume about 15 to 20 pounds of cooked brisket, remember, brisket does shrink somewhat in the cooking process......and you'll have some leftover to serve on hot summer nights when you don't feel like cooking......Enjoy!!
