How much spare ribs to feed 60 people?

A good rule of thumb is 1/2 to 3/4 pound of ribs per person if serving ribs as the main course. Here's a breakdown:

- For 60 people: You will need 30 to 45 pounds of spare ribs. For leaner ribs, opt for 30 pounds, and if you want more substantial servings, go for 45 pounds.

- If serving ribs as part of a larger buffet, you can slightly reduce the amount to about 1/3 pound per person, bringing the total to 20 pounds.

- Consider factors such as appetites and other food items offered to gauge the appropriate amount.

Remember, these estimates are a starting point, and you can adjust them based on your specific needs and preferences.
