Have any of you ever done a "big sandwich?" (No, MFM, not the kind you're thinking of!) What's your

[GreenPartyVoter]

experience with serving sizes? I will have 10 or so hungry teens to feed, plus a couple of parents, and need to know how many 3' hoagies is reasonable. http://www.subway.com/subwayroot/Catering/cateringproducts.aspx

1. I once had a Halloween Party

and served a six foot sub sandwich. It came on a wooden plank. I think we had 20 adults and a handful of children that night and the thing was nearly gone by the end of the party. I think the sandwich can be extended by the volume of side dishes you offer. I just had chips and veghie dips with the sandwich being the main feature.

4. That's pretty much where we want to go with this. At $42 per 3 ft section, I want to be sure I get

the right size.

2. One foot per person is the standard rule.

There may be leftovers.

5. LOL

3. have eaten off of the Jimmy Johns big sandwiches several times at my old job

When you call to order AHEAD OF TIME just tell them about how many people you are serving.

They kick ass plus people always love to see a big sandwich coming.

Damn I want a sandwich, Thanks a lot.

6. I am so sorry to have given you a craving like that. LOL I will definitely order ahead of time

so we get things sorted out. I think they have a 24 hr minimum rule.

7. When I worked at Subway...

the party subs were said to serve 3-4 per foot. they made the party sub bread by defrosting the loaves of regular bread and weaving them into a big loaf. Like a french braid.



Unless they've changes things, get a 5-footer.

9. Hey, inside info. Thanks!

8. Four. You will need a minimum of four of these sanwiches.

That would be enough for 12 foot-longs, one per hungry teen (ten or so).

Or for 12- six inch sandwiches and two three footers for me!

[GreenPartyVoter]

10. Thanks! I am thinking maybe 3 and a LOT of chips and veggies, and maybe a pizza or two.

11. Lots of chips and veggies,but do popcorn too.

They scarf up everything in front of them.

[GreenPartyVoter]

12. Good idea! We'll be doing a movie, so we'll trot some out then.

[Son of Gob]

14. Those Giant subs are much bigger than the regular subs

2 of them would be more than enough.

17. I met _SKP once and he ain't kidding

WE went to a taco truck for lunch and I had carnitas tacos, and he had the truck.

bumpers and all.

19. Dont minimize it.

The cook ran for his life.

13. I've always found them to be good, but definitely DRIER than the normal sandwiches.

I recommend some extra condiments (balsamic vinegar is my "moisturizer" of choice at the moment.

If you can get Subway to put them on the side, black olives and/or sliced pepperoncini are also good
for that.

15. I just know that if I were presented with a three foot sandwich, I'd eat that fucker.

I didn't get this figure by being careful about my diet.

16. i used to be a party sub making machine

i worked at subway for four years during and after college and i could bust out one of those bad boys in 20 minutes. unfortunately i don't remember how many people one would feed, i hated that job by the time i left.
