Was asked to cook several months ago for a in-laws wedding and I of course accepted even though this was my first "catering" gig if you will. Cooked for several large parties before but never for 150 people at once.
Started out wit 70 pounds of raw pork shoulder. Seasoned up with tx smoker pork rub altered with a little less salt.
Got those rolling with hickory smoke. Getting the fixin's ready for the baked beans. Onion, Jalapeno, and Bacon.
3 full size pans of beans after 5 hours of smoke.
Butts are finishing up.
Made two sauces. My spicy concoction and Jeff's sauce.
16 pounds of sausage getting some hickory.
Wife helped me pull all of the pork. Ended up with 4 full size pans.
My daughter by my side with the mac and cheese sauce. She likes to help out.
4 half pans of mac and cheese.
4 half pans of slaw.
Loaded up the back of the car plus some in the back seat.
The buffet. I didn't do the deviled eggs, the pan of green beans, or the kids food but everything else.
To go pans I packed up for family and neighbors.
Took me around 3 days to get everything done but everyone seemed to enjoy it. Heard several nice things from the guests. Hadn't posted in awhile so figured I would throw this one out there. Thanks for taking a look!
