How many pounds of Prime rib roast to feed 14 people?

General Rule:

* 1 pound of prime rib per person is a good starting point for a main course. This assumes people will be eating other foods too.

Calculation:

* 14 people x 1 pound/person = 14 pounds of prime rib

However, consider these factors:

* Appetite: If your guests are big eaters or you're planning on serving the prime rib as the main attraction, consider 1.5 pounds per person.

* Leftovers: Do you want to have leftovers for sandwiches or another meal? Add an extra pound or two to your calculation.

So, you could buy between 14 and 21 pounds of prime rib.

Pro Tip: Ask your butcher for advice. They can help you determine the right size roast based on your specific needs and preferences.
