Question
Hi-
I am hosting a wedding for 75 people. The food is Authentic Mexican. I will be serving Flank steak, Shredded Chicken, and Shrimp for Fajitas. My question is do I need the same exact amt in terms of pounds for each station? For example: For ppl to have at least 1-3 fajitas (steak)- I would need 20lbs of flank steak. Do I need 20lbs of chicken and shrimp? Or can I get 10lbs of each?
Dear Lexi:
Since I am a planner and not a caterer I always defer to my favorite food and beverage links when I have a question like yours. I am certain that you will find your answer on one of the sites.
If you would rather, however, speak to your local Mexican restaurant, you might get the question in just a few minutes.
