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.

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.
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.
+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."
I think this happens with people who have kids that don’t eat much. For them, it would be plenty. Meanwhile my boys eat more than DH and I. I usually feed them something filling before we go to someone’s house just in case.

We pull up the chinese menu, take everyone's order, and then DH picks it up. Maybe another in the party goes along for company. Get way more food than we need but, the as hosts we pay for all and that's fine.

The portion descriptions are wrong. We've done this multiple times and we always have plenty of food left over.
The first time I order with another family coming (one I don't know how much they eat), I will order extra meals as add ons, like the additional ribs I mentioned. Once I have an idea how much they eat, I scale back. I have never had anyone leave this meal hungry. The portions are overly large.

This seems very very odd to me. I’d eat it, but it’s weird. For the kids, they’d love it.

+1 It's not crazy for a guest to want an extra piece of corn on the cob or two muffins. You have to make sure everyone only takes their portion or else you'll run out of food.
