You could do a pulled pork and rice or steamed cabbage. Cook the pork (up to weeks in advance) freeze in zip top bags with apple juice or apple cider vinegar and seasoning.
When serving time comes just heat with more juice or vinegar. Rice or cabbage can be cooked in large cookers or pans and held in a steam table. Nice thing is it keeps cost down our local grocery store has pork butts on sale often for $.69-$.89 per pound by the case of 8. If you have a club store or restaurant depot they would be able to do close to the same when you buy that much.

Fish and bread
Honestly, I can't think of anything much easier or streamline-able than pulled pork. |

They can be rented around here . If you should decide to go this route , be sure to put foil over the ground to place the charcoal on unless the pits actually have bottoms . Most do not that I know of . The other mistake that people sometimes make is to rush the chicken and leave it underdone . A very neat sense of mutual joy also tends to go along with doing chicken this way . Another local favorite is chicken corn soup with or without rivels . Large kettles and time are necessary and worth the trouble . If you somehow make too much , dole it out as take aways . It's always better reheated anyway . Ask attendees to bring containers just in case of leftovers . With 2,600 mouths to feed , you just might want to do a pig and/or ox roast as well . Variety is , after all , the spice of life . |

We did pulled pork again this year. We'll probably go to 100% potluck next year though!

My cousin lives to the south just outside of town in a cabin that my uncle built. The aunt of one of my friends lives there, too. I always thought the community dinner was an awesome idea.

Spaghetti, as suggested, has been the go-to for large gatherings. Otherwise, hot dogs (and their requisite meatless version) are easy. Just add potato salad and baked beans. All purchased in bulk and cooked easily.

Around here the three most common meals for large groups are chili, brisket, or chicken spaghetti. I have never seen any of them done for a group quite that large though.

I am waiting to hear what the actual solution turned out to be! It is almost the end of September.
Will there be any or many vegetarians involved? I would think the baked ziti idea would be easiest, especially if you just go with cheese, sauce, and bread on the side. Spaghetti may be traditional, but in large quantities it can be realllllly mushy. If meat is not a concern, then meat sauce. Or some meat and some not meat sauce. But I DO love me pulled pork. |

Mr. Paul, I live just up the road (I think) from you in BV, and we had our 5th annual BV Strong dinner on this past Monday. I'm happy to see that your community is doing it as well. Ours is an awesome event, and I'm happy to be a a part of it. We've been here since last summer and have attended twice.
BV Strong provided pulled pork in years past, but the event was getting so big that it was hard to pull (ha!) it off. So this year nothing was provided by BV except a table and chairs for 8, and a jug of water. The table sponsor was responsible for assigning who was to bring what. To tell you the truth, nobody missed the pulled pork. Everybody ate well, I presume, and the event was better than ever, with 3700 in attendance! I did not hear one single complaint about anything, even about the brief rain shower that blew through. The only snag that I know of is that 450 tables were supposed to be delivered from Denver at 1pm, and they didn't show up until 3pm. I was helping with the tables, so we really had to bust our butts once they showed up. But it all worked out, with minutes to spare. The best part? A magnificent rainbow appeared over Main St. just as we were sitting down to eat. Truly a gift. I'll try to post some pictures. I had heard that a couple of towns in Colorado were doing this now, which is just great. I also heard that a town on the east coast heard about our dinner from somebody who happened to be here for one of ours, and they are doing it now as well. After the dinner I manned one of the donations booths, and people were throwing money at me for next year's dinner. Very generous. One of the best days of the year here in BV, I think.
