I was asked if I could make pulled pork for my boys Boy Scout Blue and Gold banquet, I said sure why not. I've found a few formulas to give rough amount of meat needed.
From what I've found and figured up, I think I need about 50 lbs (last year had 125 people, I was told to plan for 150 or so) Do those equations take into account bone weight? With the budget hes given me, I'm hoping to buy 7-9 pork butts. I'm guessing they will average 7-8 pounds a piece. I'm also trying not to overthink it either :) I'd just rather not run out when theres that many people.
Thank you for any advice and suggestions :)
