For a large crawfish boil, how many pounds per person do you estimate?

sure


now can i get a name change?

I go 5 in mixed company...4 could be fine.

4-5 lbs per person. Are you doing veggies and/or sausage too?

I would do 3-4 lb PP and add corn, potatoes, and sausage. I doubt every person their will eat 3 pounds.

And Ill be waiting for my invitation via pm

3.5-4 is about right. I would never do over 5 unless this was a sausagefest party. That would produce way too much waste. If providing lots of corn and potatoes and other sides I would stick to 3.5 especially if not all live in Louisiana. Non LA natives I would figure abour 2lb per person MAX.

I always do 5 pounds per person and rarely have much leftover but when I'm contracted for a certain number of people it's my responsibility to make sure we don't run out. I do have customers that will request less or more per person or a certain number of pounds, then it's on them.

Yup. Too many people don't put enough corn and potatoes in their boils.

5. women will eat 3-4 and men will eat 5-7

I've used 5 per person from San Antonio to Washington DC

and so the crawfish threads begin.........................................
