First Catering Gig

Looks great! Were you able to fit all the butts and briskets on the Jambo at once?

[PBCDad]

No I stuck to my plan of 6 hours each. Maaaybe I could have, but it worked just fine the way I laid it out.

[HawkerXP]

Looks great!Congrats!!

Do you find the meat gets better with piano music? or just any music?

[PBCDad]

For an auction, there certainly were a lot of people sitting around enjoying the food and the music. I suppose that speaks well of my roles, but I'd rather they be out there increasing their bids...

Looks fantastic!

Dude!!!! So, you cooked for 120 people using a Jambo Backyard (my favorite smoker do date)??!! That's rockin!

Hat's off to you!

[Oakgrovebacon]

Great job!

120 Thumbs up. Excellent accomplishment.

[realdocBBQ]

Very very nice! Glad it all worked out well. I AM curious why they wouldn't come all the way up to temp like you wanted... you think it was just too much meat in ovens and wasn't enough room? Like overloading a hot smoker with cold meat and waiting and waiting and waiting for the temp to come back up?

Oh... and I want to know more about this charity of yours. We have a big charity event coming up in 2 weeks from today, but I'm not cooking for it, I'm going to be waaaay too busy. I might consider this method sometime for future events, though!

[PBCDad]

Thank you! Yes I think it was just the mass of meat was so late that I didn't give it enough time.

Our charity is called BORN A HERO (www.bornahero.org) for a rare disease called Pfeiffer Syndrome, which our daughter was born with. kjunman44 probably sees kids with it fairly often. We decided to start the charity because there was no research or awareness being done for it. Thanks for asking

Yes PCBDad, I have assisted on several Pfeiffer related surgeries over the years. I truly admire your dedication to the cause. I checked out the born a hero website (and made a small donation to help)...your daughter is absolutely adorable! I see that you are in the Seattle area. Two of the craniofacial surgeons I work with trained at Seattle Childrens under Dr. Joe Gruss.
