I think your're gonna have some leftovers but not much...wouldn't change it....looks well thought out...GL

Looks good (and ambitious). With that many people, I'm sure there will be vegetarians there. Do you think potato salad and cole slaw will be enough for them? You could add cornbread dressing or baked beans.__________________________________________Dripping Springs, Texas.Just west of Austintatious

Mickey, when I crash this party I'd like to find some ribs or steak. Do you think you could add that to the menu?

Sounds like a grand feast. Pulled pork is an easy crowd pleaser usually if that makes things any easier. Goes great as sliders made with three kings rolls.
The only hole I see is that I haven't received my invite yet !

You can use my xl and med if you like. Or I could cook some of it and drive it over.Be careful, man! I've got a beverage here.

VI makes a good point.
I'm guessing that sentence has never before been uttered or written.
You might even throw in something green. That will distract a few omnivores from my ribs and steak ..XXL BGE, Karebecue, Klose BYC, Chargiller Akorn Kamado, Weber Smokey Mountain, Grand Turbo gasser, Weber Smoky Joe, and the wheelbarrow that my grandfather used to cook steaks from his cattle

Are you smoking or roasting the breasts? A large breast usually takes me close to three hours at 250*.*******Owner of a large and a beloved mini in Philadelphia

Like the idea of sugar maple smoke on the hams, will compliment the cherry/pecan on the turkey - variety is always nice.With the chips an dips, some veggies and fruits for dipping and the ever popular pickles are always a hit.Good luck - and if Travis was serious about helping, suggest you take him up on his offer....Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad!

I'd have Travis as a waiter, wearing a tux and tails. But, if he hasn't gotten a haircut since he had his avatar made, I'd require that he get one.__________________________________________Dripping Springs, Texas.Just west of Austintatious

That would be a nice pic. Then maybe I could get the picture of him in a skirt/kilt out of my mind...XXL BGE, Karebecue, Klose BYC, Chargiller Akorn Kamado, Weber Smokey Mountain, Grand Turbo gasser, Weber Smoky Joe, and the wheelbarrow that my grandfather used to cook steaks from his cattle

If I was responsible for feeding that many women I would make about 20 pounds of chicken salad, a huge bowl of regular salad, buy some croissants, and call it a day. Isn't that what they eat at those things? Maybe it's different in Texas.XL,L,SWinston-Salem, NC

Mickey can't come out and say it because he needs plausible deniability but it is pretty obvious that the only reason he "reached out to us for help/advice" is so that a bunch of us can crash the party.
That way he can look "surprised" and "have no idea" when VI, Centex, Travis, Nola and a bunch of other delinquents come stumbling in to the party. That's why he's not making a bunch of 2" sandiwiches with the crust cut off.

I was reading through expecting you to say you were doing it all on a mini!
Congrats and good luck with the cook.Lynnwood WA -
Dang it! I've already got plans for that day.
I think you should scrap the whole menu and do a Cinco de Mayo theme party with margaritas instead.

If you need help Mickey I could do the hams on the large and bring them up. Otherwise it look like you have a good plan. Just be up and ready to start prepping at 6AMLarge, small and mini now Egging in Rowlett Tx

Good luck with the cook Mickey. I'm sure you will knock it out of the park.Flint, Michigan

If you do the margarita thing, I was at a party where they had taken the office water dispenser and made 5 gallons of margaritas. Very interesting idea. Water was never quite the same. I think it was better. )

@AustinEgghead & @TravisStric you two are what makes this place so special. If I called you I am 100% you both would cook the whole thing. And 100+ more of you would do the same thing if lived closer. I would do the same for you as well.

Mickey looks great I wish I was around to help you out. My only advice from recent parties is that sausage, if you cut it right, can go a long way. When I had 60 over for Christmas party the sausage kept us afloat. Good luck!
