Help! with Back Ribs portion?

MCR

Hi,

I'm planning to cook Back Ribs for a group. How much back ribs do I need for the average persons? We are expecting 20 to 25 adults. I think my personal and my immediate family consumption is not standard and above average… so need help on the average person. Any help or guidelines in term of rack to person ratio or average weight per persons would be appreciated.

Thanks

Are you including any sides?? I usually figure 4-6 bones per person depending on adult, kids or senior citizens.

Thanks Richard,

Yes, I will have sides.. TBD,

No kids! and no seniors mainly adults

I would go 1 slab per 2-3 people.2 men,3 women.Then again,I would rather have 5 slabs left over than for any guest not to get ALL they wanted. I once had a male guest at a party that ate nothing but ribs.I think he tried to impress everyone with his appetite.He at 3 slabs of Babybacks by himself.But that is the exception ,not the norm.

I hope your friend doesn't show-up!
