Choosing the right MEAT for your event:
Planning an event and not sure what to order? Here’s a guide to help you plan!
Planning an event comes with a lot of decisions, and one of the biggest is figuring out what food will actually satisfy your guests. Most people over-order, under-order, or choose the wrong mix, and that’s where things fall flat.
The right meats and setup can completely change your guests’ experience.
Here’s a simple guide to get it right.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR EVENT
Before choosing specific meats, start by thinking about a few key factors:
• The number of guests
• The type of event, casual vs more formal
• Your budget
• Whether you want a simple menu or a variety of options
A backyard party with friends will look very different from a graduation party or corporate event, and your menu should match that.
BRISKET
Best for: Smaller gatherings or when you want a premium feel.
Brisket is one of the most popular and well-loved barbecue options. It is rich, tender, and full of flavor when done right.
Because of the time and care it takes to prepare, brisket is often considered a higher-end option. It works great for smaller groups or events where you want to impress your guests with something memorable.
PULLED PORK
Best for: Large groups and casual events
Pulled pork is a go-to choice for feeding a crowd. It is versatile, cost-effective, and easy to serve.
Whether it is sandwiches, sliders, or plated meals, pulled pork tends to be a safe option that most guests enjoy. It is perfect for birthday parties, open houses, and laid-back gatherings.
RIBS
Best for: Parties and cookouts
Ribs bring a fun, hands-on element to any event. They are bold, flavorful, and great for creating that classic barbecue experience.
They can be a little messier than other options, but that is part of the appeal. Ribs are perfect for more relaxed settings where guests can dig in and enjoy.
CHICKEN
Best for: Variety and lighter options
Chicken is a great addition to any barbecue menu. It offers a lighter option compared to heavier cuts like brisket and ribs.
It also helps round out your menu and ensures there is something for everyone, especially for guests who may prefer a simpler or leaner choice.
COMBO OPTIONS
Best for: Mixed groups and indecisive planners
If you are unsure what to choose, you really cannot go wrong with a combination.
Offering multiple meats gives your guests options and creates a more complete experience. This is especially helpful for larger events where preferences may vary.
SERVING STYLE MATTERS
One thing many people overlook when planning their menu is how the food will actually be served.
Different meats and setups can require different levels of involvement:
• Brisket is typically sliced fresh, which may require someone to carve and serve it properly
• Pulled pork is easy to serve in bulk and works great for self-serve stations
• Ribs are more hands-on and better suited for casual, grab-and-go style events
• Chicken can be plated or served buffet-style depending on the setup
It is also important to think about how your guests will eat:
• Do you want a plated meal, a buffet, or a self-serve station?
• Will you need rolls or buns for sandwiches or sliders?
• Do you want a more structured experience, or something relaxed and flexible?
Planning your serving style ahead of time helps everything run smoother and ensures your guests have the best possible experience.
