Sandy in Texas is wondering how much brisket she needs to feed 30 people 6 ounces.
Sandy, great question! As a Texan you know that brisket is subject to a lot of shrinkage during cooking - whether it’s being barbecued as I suspect you plan - or braised. Figure shrinkage at 40 percent to be on the safe side. That works out to 10 ounces per person uncooked or almost 19 pounds of brisket.
