I am confused as to which chart under appetizers applies to 100 guests. I will be serving appetizer before a full meal. Do I use the first chart Kitchen appetizer planner 100 serving or the second chart mixed appetizers for 100.

You need about 8 bites per person.

Hi Ellen, your site is AMAZINGLY helpful!!! thanks so much for what you do!

We're having kindof a tuscan/antipasti-type cocktail hour, Pre-Dinner (Olives, marinated artichokes, charcuterie and cheese platters etc.) So it's tough to translate that into "bites per person" Can you just clarify in your Appetizers for 100 section - In your second chart you list cheese, meat, veg, fruit etc., and I can adapt what we're serving from that, but can you just clarify that the column on the right is the amounts if you're serving ALL of those categories (cheeses, meats, etc.) and the column on the left is the amounts if you're only serving one or two of those categories (ONLY cheese, meats and veg for example?) I just want to make sure i'm understanding the amounts correctly... Thank you!

A bite is about an ounce for most items, and yes, that is how the columns work.
