How much should I order?
-
When ordering sandwich
meats, a good rule of thumb is to order 1 pound of meat
for 3 adults, or perhaps 2 adults and 2 small children.
Buns and sauce are included.
- A slab of ribs will
normally serve 1-2 adults, or sometimes 2 adults and 1
small child. When used as a "finger food" item, it is
good to remember that ribs are similar to shrimp or
peanuts - there's never enough of either!
- A half chicken will
serve 1-2 adults.

- A pint of slaw, beans,
corn relish or potato salad will normally serve 3-4
adults. Usually folks eat more beans or potato salad
than slaw or relish. This is a good formula that will
extend to quarts and gallons. Gallons are the best value
when you are serving 25-30 guests.
- When offering a
combination of sandwich meat and meat on the bone, take
into consideration that many of your guests might eat a
portion of each of the meats. In the case of ribs,
experience indicates that most people eat ribs until all
of the ribs are gone! In this case we'll cut the slabs
into two bone pieces for you, so a slab will server 4 to
6 people. This way everyone can enjoy a sandwich and a
couple of rib bones.
- In most cases a bottle
of sauce will serve 5 to 9 people. Of course, the
Hoochie Coochie will go much, much further. The bottle
of sauch will keep for months when refrigerated.
However, the Hoochie Coochie sauce might keep forever!
- When ordering desserts please try
and order the banana pudding 24 hours in advance.
Usually the banana pudding or a cobbler will serve 18 to
20 adults. Our pies usually serve 8 to 10. As is the
case with meats and sides, if you offer more than one
dessert, allow for some folks to try small portions of
each.
If you have questions or
special needs, every member of our staff will be glad to
offer you assistance.
