[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We do Famous Dave's feasts.   The feast for two will feed my family of four and my kids best friends (so four 12-yo and two adults).   I add a few things:  an extra order of ribs on because there are just not enough ribs for everyone, a 6-pack of corn muffins and 4 extra corn on the cob, so that everyone can have at a corn and at least one muffin.

If we have two families, the All-American Feast works the same way.  I add the same extras for the same reasons (exeption that I do a 12-pack of extra corn muffins and 8 extra corn on the cob).  This feeds four adults and 4-5 kids 12 and under.

These are great to serve family style and it's [/quote]

I don’t know Famous Dave’s to know how big it really is, but if it’s a feast for two don’t order one for six people. We have friends who do this constantly and everyone goes home hungry. Their kids eat like birds and everyone ends up taking tiny portions so that there is enough for everyone. They are thoughtful hosts overall but always underestimate food for a crowd. Sometimes the husband comments “wow, maybe I should have ordered more” but does the same thing the next time around. [/quote]

It looks like what they are getting, with all the add ons, is good.  But I’m so with you.   I hate going to events where food is under ordered.  It makes everyone so uncomfortable.[/quote]

+2 We have friends who do this with pizza.  Two pizzas for 4 adults and 5 kids - not even enough for everybody to have 2 slices (kids are not toddlers).  We always eat before we go to their house for "dinner."[/quote]
