bbq for 200 but 150 are vegetarians. I tell ya those folks have an iron grip on their veggies.

Wedding planners are high on my shit list.  Right up there with realtors.  

Anyway, yeah they priced it at $5 per sandwich, while a pizza slice was $3.  Eventually they came around to including chips and a drink for $5 and sold more, but i think the rush was over by then. High school kids want pizza and it's cheaper, go figure.  

 Now, they did use the bbq to feed the judges of the competition and it was hit with them.  Many of them told my wife it was the best bbq they'd ever had in their life.  That's actually saying something in this part of the country.  I should come up with business card or something, make myself available for hire to deliver or something.   

So afterwards they talked it over and decided they knew better how to approach the whole thing next year, because nobody wants to waste food or get put out doing too much.  Just get pizza for the kids, supplement with bbq.  Intend on feeding the judges and parents with bbq.  Probably half the amount I did for today.  

So we'll have it for dinner tonight, then freeze the rest portioned out in vacuum bags. 

Vinyls.   deal.

Oh and I've been doing the cleanup today. In truth, making this much bbq isn't much more work than making 1/10th this amount.  But for the amount of work that goes into it, I don't really see how restaurants can make money doing it. I'll do some math later to try and figure out food costs and hrly burden.

Nice compliment from the judges.

I bet 5lb vac-bags would go quick. Perfect for the holidays. I know I could use 15.lbs, easy. But then I always overshoot on the good stuff.
