Celebrate the start of summer and enjoy those long weekends grilling on a Big Green Egg! How about something new … try the Dos Equis “Most Interesting” Three Cheese and Chorizo Fondue, or a Gourmet Pizza with Prosciutto & Arugula for a different grilling experience! For all you traditionalists, you can’t top Stuffed Burgers cooked on the Big Green Egg! And be sure to catch up with the KCBS Great American BBQ Tour!

My father just retired, and we're throwing him a party in a couple weeks. I'm in charge of providing the bbq and the slaw. There are 30 people attending, so at 1/3 lb per person, that puts me at two 8lb butts. I'll be doing three. 
Why not, right?
Anyway, my question for you partiers and caterers out there is, how do you determine side dish sizes for a party? The sides will be baked beans, potato salad and slaw. Any idea how much slaw to make?

If you have access to Sam's Club they usually carry really large bags of shredded cabbage. One of those should be enough.
Of the 30 people maybe half will eat it. Running out of slaw is not a game stopper.
