Use the estimate to keep the meat and sides in balance. You will know the size of the order before a package name or catering menu starts making the decision for you.
Your planning estimate
Turn the estimate into a Tampa order
Southern Luv, Station House, The Brisket Shoppe, Big John's, Jimbo's, Hank's and Wicked Oak currently publish catering, party packs or larger-order help. Start with the number above, then give the restaurant your headcount, serving time and meal style so it can match the order to its actual portions.
The calculator includes a ten-percent cushion. It estimates cooked food on the table, not raw meat before trimming and smoking. Every kitchen portions differently, so use this as the first useful answer and the restaurant's confirmed order as the final one.
