I have some 22 people coming over for dinner/drinks tomorrow and was thinking of the following:
1-13-15lb brisket
3 racks of baby backs or st.louis
10lb leg quarters
mac n cheese
mash potatoes
cookies/brownies (kids want to make these)
You think this is enough? 9 of the guys will be mostly drinking so they typically don't eat much.

Make it for twenty three, and invite me.

Need something green. More than enough meat.

I would add a slaw of some sort (vinegar based) as a palate cleanser between bites of meat. Always better to make it a day ahead of time, as it improves overnight.
Otherwise, you are following my rule of thumb of >1lb per person of protein. It should be awesome.(now only 16 stone)

Great line-up right there. Regarding "green", you know the crowd. No sense going green just for green's sake. Enjoy the evening.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

Looks solid. I don' think you need to add any protein.
Heck, you could even swap out the leg quarters for a pile of wings you put on when all the meat comes off. 45 minutes later you'll have the next course.

Rib racks usually have at least 12 ribs. Most of the ones I get are 13. But sometimes 10. Check the packs. Might want to have at least a section of 2 for each guest, and some more singles for those who really like them.
I always like a token green. Particularly if the meat sauce is sweet. Just a bit of palette clearer. And it makes me feel moral as I wipe out the mac, or 'taters.

Agreed, plenty of food. A large salad or fruit would be good if you not into slaw._________________________________________________Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story!Large BGE 2006, Mini Max 2014, 36" Blackstone, Anova Sous Vide

looks like plenty to me, if theres women coming they will bring some green stuff and deserts. i dont understand the guys drinking and not eating, its usually the opposite
fukahwee maineyou can lead a fish to water but you can not make him drink it -
The guys will eat for sure but usually after the night of drinking. I don't even eat until then either.San Diego, CA

Looks like a great plan, agree with the above on vinegar slaw, here's a good recipe if you need one:

Everything came out great. Brisket was gone in like 30 minutes but i saved the burnt ends for the end of night when we were finished drinking.
This Friday I’m cooking for my nieces 18th party. I was originally going to cook ribs for her but think i can feed more people with tri tip. About 100 guests and that would be my donation. I’m thinking of getting one of those cryovac bags of tri tip at Costco.San Diego, CA
