DOB has come and gone...it appeared to be the most attended event ever...early reports say that 360 people were on site for the event. That translates into phenomenal amounts of camp scholarship contributions! Thanks to all of the sponsors and visitors for making the event special!
My DOB duties placed me in the kitchen...here is what we turned out for the evening, food wise:
Steamed Shrimp: 130 pounds (Thanks SYSCO!)
Beef Tenderloin: 100 Pounds (Thanks US FOODS!)
Crab Dip: 5 Gallons (Thanks Capt. Neill's!)
Cocktail Sauce: 1.5 Gallons
Marinated Mushrooms: 4 Gallons
Grilled Veggies: 18 pounds
Fresh Vegetables: about 60 pounds
Mashed potatoes: 50 pounds
Chicken Wings: 75 pounds
Brie: 6 pounds
Chicken Salad: 8 gallons
Seafood Salad: 8 gallons
Rolls: 250
Assorted Cheeses: 24 pounds
Cookies: 520
Blondies: 175
Brownies: 175
Marshmallows: 600
Rice Krispie Sqares: 200
Fruit: about 100 pounds
Drinking cups: about 1250
Plastic plates: about 850
Chocolate Fountain: 30 pounds of molten chocolate
That's literally a TON of food, give or take a shrimp or three...it was a busy and fun night. Servers, cooks, and me grew nervous as the buffet line inched closer to the Washington County line. Eventually, only stragglers and returners made their way into the buffet room. Even the scraps at the end were a fine treat. The cooks and servers worked in heroic fashion to see that only the stacked plates ran low on one occasion. A crowded room, with salivating crowds can be tough for a tiny server to navigate. It takes bravery and gumption...
Enjoy the day...
