Food service for Ga Rally - Steel Soldiers::Military Vehicles Supersite

wreckerman893 · 10-05-2009, 12:55

Clinto has cleared it with our host (Durhamtown Plantation) for us to serve food to SS members at the rally.
Mike from SC is bringing his MKT so we will have a clean food prep area.
Before I get wrapped around the axle on this I need input from those attending as to whether it is wanted or needed.
Mike and I think we can serve decent meals for around 4 bucks each.
Since I know folks are on budgets we are offering free meals to anyone willing to assist with clean up (yea lets call it what it is...KP) for the duration.
I will arrive Thursday afternoon and Mike should already be there...we may or may not have an evening meal that day.
Fri, Sat, and Sunday (morning only) we would like to serve meals.
If enough folks want to participate we will add this to the game plan.
It will not be fancy food but we plan on making it tasty and cheaper than the storebought food at the Plantation.
If enough folks are game I will purchase supplies to bring and get reimbursed from the kitty....any profit will be given to Clinto to help defray his costs for hosting the rally.
We would ask that you either bring your own reusable eating utinsiles or some paper plates and cups to donate to the cause.
Please reply on this thread...my PM box is already stuffed.

Sounds like a great plan. Make sure you charge enough to make it worth Mike bringing the MKT, and your time. You may want to set out a donation bucket as well. I for one would be really appreciative.

Are you preparing SOS for breakfast?

Sounds like I need to go talk to my " in " the Army buddies, and scrounge up some rations! **** on a shingle anybody?

A mans gotta eat...i think its a fantastic idea. I'll be there and most likely broke so good food cheap sounds like just the thing.

Sounds like a good idea to me if it won't take up to much of your playtime. You can count me and the Wife in. If grits are on the breakfast menu I can bring some ground from corn grown here on the farm and plenty of homemade cane syrup if you are going to make something that needs soppin.

We were planning on trying pancakes, since I have two griddles on the MKT so syrup would come in handy. What we really need is a headcount, so we have some clue as to how much to purchase ahead of time. I have the Army TM 10-412 (Master Menu) on cards so if we can find someone who can read, and give us directions, we can cook. But I know all their recipies are for 100 (IE 43.5 pounds of potatoes for a mashed potato recipie, and 1.75 pounds of coffee and 6.75 gallons of water per meal for drinking, 100 pints of milk for breakfast, etc.) - get your headcount in as quick as possible so we can shop!

I am in.

mdmorgan · 10-05-2009, 17:16

My wife and I are planning to attend. do i need to say so anywhere specific for the head count?
