Yes, too much. Suggest you omit the burgers and dogs completely.Ribs, you want about 2-3 per person, depends on size, 2 often enough.

Pasta Salad, 3 pounds dry pasta.
Corn on cob, 1 piece per person, few extra
cabbage, 8 pounds
Green salad, use plan for 100, do scant 1/2
watermelon, about 1 pound per 3 with the other foods
cake a full sheet cake or 2 layer half sheet makes 60 servings
Ice Cream, just on the side , about 2 gallons

veggies, cheese etc. appetizers? See the veggie tray page. Allow 1 pound cheese per 12-15 guests, couple pounds crackers.

If this saves you time, trouble, or money, please make a donation, maybe a dime or quarter per guest, to support this site, thanks.
