Are we talkin fancy er down home?
Down home would be pulled pork an brisket, tater salad, corn bread corn an fresh cornbread.
Fancy type, Sliced chuck roast, sliced pork roast, twice baked taters, a nice lettuce salad an a dinner roll.
I'd talk with the folk an see kinda what they are expectin. Give em some idears what yall like to smoke an such.
Fried Hominey is a good one fer either fancy er down home to. Gots lots a color in it, plus bacon, an everbody loves bacon!
Ya can do ribs an such, but this gonna be a weddin with folks all dressed up so that might not work out real well. Ribs ain't cheap niether.
Ya can pick up some them disposable chafer racks perty resonable to. They come in handy fer allota thins. I got some a the half pan ones an the full pans. Half pan racks I bought fer a dollar each at our dollar store, Walmart carries some to. The full pan ones I picked up at a food distributor, ours sells to the general public, it came with two pans, servin ware an two a the alcohol burners fer 12.50. Heavy duty enough ta use many times.
Just besure ta keep yer hot stuff over 140* an yer cool stuff on ice. Good luck, these deals can be alota fun an put a bit a money in yer pocket, we ain't gettin rich doin it, but it's a part time job fer us. Folks like the country food.
And it don't hurt ta dress up in the monkey outfit niether!
Ya can pick up a chefs jacket perty cheap offin ebay er some a the uniform shops. Or just a nice shirt an pants with some polished shoes. I don't do white cause I look like the Michlen tire guy!
