Enough BB ribs?

[vbak]

Tomorrow there will be 14 of us-7 adults and 7 DGKs. I have six slabs of ribs defrosting, and another in the freezer if needed. Here's what's cookin:

6 slabs baby back ribs
loaded baked potato casserole
broccoli salad
BLT salad
baked beans or pasta salad
corn muffins or garlic cheese bread
watermelon
dessert=whatever
Are 6 slabs enough? I am always so nervous about having enough.

TIA

I can knock out a slab of baby back ribs all by myself so I'm going to say take out the other rack. I would think you could expect 1/2 a rack for the kids (depending on age because my guys could eat a rack at a young age).

When I eat ribs it's what I eat with only a bit of the sides so I usually plan on a rack per adult and 1/2 per kid, jmho.

The kids are ages 10-5, and I know they won't eat a half, but I will take out the other slab. I love ribs, too. Thanks.

I'm with Sneezles. Unless your family is a big side eater and a small rib eating family, you definetly need the other slab of ribs and I would prepare even more than that. Even if you think the grandkids are only going to eat a slab or two of ribs...you have 14 adults eating less than a half slab each of the ribs. (But I come from a family of BIG eaters)

I'm with these three....I can inhale a full slab by myself too! There's never 'too many' baby back ribs on a platter. Grab the other one.
