Pastalaya for 150-200

Going to have to make smaller servings to even have a chance.

This is wild to me for a cookoff

Thats exactly my thoughts.

How big is this event?

It's a fundraiser for a cancer foundation. The cook-off is adjacent to a large craft show, Southtown Craft Show in Houma.

Still seems like a large amount of servings for a cook off.

I've always just filled my 5 gallon pot and been fine

Servings? Or tastings? That's 2 totally different things

When and where is this cook-off

That’s a lot of boxes of Jambalaya Girl’s pastalaya mix.

Do the math. If you have a 10 gallon pot, figure you’ll end up with 8 gallons of pastalaya.

16 cups in a gallon
128 cups in 8 gallons

128 ounces in a gallon
1024 ounces in 8 gallons


8 ounces is a cup. A smaller serving is 8 ounces. If you’re going to put a scoop in a bowl, it’s probably going to be about 8 ounces. If you’re putting a large portion on a plate, it’s going to be more.

So a 10 gallon pot will give you about 128 regular one-scoop bowls.

If you’re serving less than a cup, then you’ll have more.

Southdown Craft Show in Houma


FIFY

There used to be a couple thousand people that showed up. I haven't been in more than 10 years

---

Never noticed it corrected it to Southtown, my apologies.


It's still large but the cook off isn't part of the event, they are hoping to get some traffic from it though.

Fin, Feather and fur cookoff

10 gallons may be enough depending on what other foods are there and how big of a serving you're dishing out.

If it's the main dish, you'll need a 15 gallon pot.
