How do I order barbeque and sides for my group of xx? We thought we’d write up a little primer on ordering meat, sides, and dessert for your next company get together or family reunion. It’s not as hard as it sounds – the most important thing to know is an accurate number of guests you’re planning on feeding. On more than one occasion we’ve had folks who have over-ordered, and under-ordered because they didn’t request RSVP of their event’s attendees.
