Large Scale Cooking

[chvojka]

I will be cooking chicken at an air show this August and there is usually 15,000 people who attend there will be other vendors but we will be the only chicken stand. Does anyone have large scale experience such as roughly what percentage of the total people generally buy food? this will be my first large scale cooking adventure. We will also be serving potato salad and a roll with a 1/4 piece of chicken.

I've done some large scale grilling and here is my advice...DO NOT STOP COOKING....You'll have to use your best judgement here, but keep cooking...use some chafing dishes to one side of your grill to keep your excess warm and serve that out as you drop fresh grilled meat into the pan. You're gonna have to use your brains and eyesight to decide whether you need to throw 10 pieces on the grill or 20...but don't panic, evaluate the situation, and if someone has to wait 5 min extra for some awesome good food, so be it
