How much food will I need to feed 150 people at a bbq if we're only serving burger and dogs?

Question

The bbq will be mostly men and after a day of playing soft ball.

Answer 1

You need to figure 2 to 3 pieces per person

Answer 2

you can give each people 2 dogs. and a burger, but don't forget the drinks.. that would be enough.. so that would be a total of

300 dogs and 150 burgers

Answer 3

whoeee...make sure you've got plenty of stuff to drink that's not necessarily beer.  Gatorades or Powerades and water to go along with whatever other beverages you'll be serving.

People tend to eat more burgers than dogs at picnics, but make sure you're cooking thawed meat, not frozen, as the outside will be cooked and the inside undercooked.

Figure 2 burgers and 1 dog per person on average.

Answer 4

You'll probably want to serve three sandwiches per person.  So that's about a total of 450 sandwiches.  I would do 225 hamburgers and 225 hot dogs.  It's better to have extras than not enough.

Answer 5

figure about at least a  lb a person for grown men!!!! why cant these guys wives or even "these guys" make a salad  or something else to go with the hots and hamburgers? that would cut down the expense a little bit....Meat isnt cheap!

Answer 6

600 1/4 pound burgers and buns

600 hot doges and buns.

2 gallons ketchup, 1 gallon mustard, 5# onions.

Or you can do pulled pork for less than half the cost and a whole lot less work. It can be made well ahead of time. Frozen if neccesary. Giving yourself mor time with guests.

CHOPPED PORK SANDWICHES

1 6-7 lb Pork Roast (Boston Butt/Shoulder)

Demon Pig BBQ Rub

2 bottles "Demon Pig BBQ Sauce"

Trim Excess fat from roast. Sprinkle with Demon Pig BBQ Rub.

Cook on grill with indirect heat at 225/250 degrees for 6 hours to an internal temp of 160 degrees. (This can be done in an oven or bbq smoker.)

Place in pan with 1/2 cup water, cover and place back on heat for one hour to finish 190F internal temp. Remove from heat, let stand 30 minutes. Careful uncover. Let stand an additional 15 minutes.

Pull and chop meat to just under bite size pieces.

Warm "Demon Pig BBQ Sauce" slightly and mix thoroughly until lightly covered throughout meat. Serve additional sauce warm on the side.

Serve on buns with your favorite sides.

Answer 7

2.5-3 portions per person is probably a pretty good estimate, assuming they are good-size burgers and dogs. That would be around 200 each of burgers and dogs.

Answer 8

probably buy nearly triple the amount of food to the people who will at the barbie.  coz after the game they will be HUNGRY and if your not supplying beer and beverages just ask for a BYO and let them know that they can bring a dish/plate/whatever, just giving them a bit of a variety.
