My ex-fiance Ray used to haul a grill to his construction sites and roast
3-4 chickens and sometimes also make a pot of veggie gumbo (see another
thread here). His crew was upwards of 36 people so you definitely want to
scale things down. For your purposes, just sliced chicken from the deli at
the grocery store would do. Maybe some sliced ham. Nice breads. Veggies
for those who don't eat meats. Fruit. Water, lots and lots of water.
