I was asked tho think about options for a formal dinner at church for around 200. They said it needed to be something nice they've done pork loin and cordon blue in the past. Said traditional bbq wouldn't be special enough for the event so looking for options. I'm thinking possibly beef tenderloin or some sort of bbq chicken stuffed with .... and an shrimp etouffee over it. Any suggestions on something that wouldn't be real onerous to cook and can be done on the smoker.

IF THE BUDGET ALLOWS I WOULD GO WITH BEEF TENDERLOINS. WE DID THIS FOR 160 AT MY 50TH CLASS REUNION AND THE SMOKED "RED SKIN" POTATOES WERE A HIT AS WELL AS THE BEEF. WE DID ACCOMPANY THE MAIN ITEMS WITH A TRAY OF FRESH TOMATO SLICES, DIRECT FROM THE GARDEN, WITH SLICES OF BUFFALO MOZZARELLA AND GARNISH OF FRESH BASIL LEAVES. THE SECOND OFFERING "FROM THE GARDEN" WAS GRILLED VEGGIES , WE USED AVAILABLE , SIMMER SQUASH(LONG STRIPS)ZUCCHINI CUT SAME WAY, ASSORTMENT OF PEPPERS AND RED ONIONS, SAUTE'DIN OLIVE OIL AND SPRINKLED WITH BALSALMIC VINEGER. ALL ITEMS WERE SERVED BUFFET STYLE SO GUESTS COULD CHOSE PORTION SIZE AT THE END OF THE BUFFET WHERE MY SMOKE HOUSE GUYS WERE DOING ADDITIONAL DUTY, SLICING THE TENDERLOINS INTO 8 TO 10 OZ PORTIONS. WE OFERED SERVE-YOURSELF, STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE FOR DESSERT. AT $35.00 PER PERSON THIS WAS STILL LESS THAN THE LOCAL COUNTRY CLUB ASKS FOR A FAIRLY PEDESTRIAN MEAL. ICE TEA, LEMONADE AND MARGARITAS WERE ADDITIONAL AT OUR TIKI HUT, BEACH BAR.. PROVIDED BY LOCAL BEER DISTRIBUTOR ON BEHALF OF PATRON AND LAND SHARK BEER..

think about doing fresh hams... they can go up over 20lbs, not a lot of shrinkage...serve it with applesauce, and or saurkraut, and or German potato salad...
or.. how bout a should clod.. you can get some pretty good sized ones, like 35/40 lbs... they do take some time to cook,but worth the effort.. serve it with a cherry, or blueberry based bbq sauce, mushroom and onions, and some baked taters...

currently it appears pork tenderloin, side salad and potatoes cubed and seasoned with olive oil, Italian seasoning and Parmesan cheese. Any idea how many pounds of potatoes to cook for 200? I've found if I parboil them I can finish in the smoker quite quickly.
Thanks!

SMALL RED SKIN POTATOS SAVE THE WORK OF CUBING, LOOK COLORFUL ON THE PLATES (ALLOW 3-4 PER GUEST) AND COOK IN NEARLY SAME TIME AS PORK LOIN ( NO-PARBOILING). WE SET SMOKER AT 275-300 DEGREES FOR THESE ITEMS SIMPLY DRIZZLE WITH OLIVE OIL, SPRINKLE BILLY BONES "ORIGINAL" DRY RUB AND LET EM SMOKE. PARMESAN CHEESE IS OPTIONALWORK SAVER, PORTION CONTROL, COLOR, ALL IN ONE EASY ITEM
