BBQ for 70+ people- what to make

My brother is moving OOS so we're throwing him a good-bye BBQ. I'm trying to figure out what to make for 70+ people (including about 20 kids)

I figured I would do wings and some dips as appetizers, but as the main course I was thinking:

Burgers
Hot Dogs
Pulled Pork
Mac and Cheese
Potato Salad
Caesar Salad
Corn on the Cob

and we'll order a 6' hero and a cake for dessert

What else should I make?

I'd throw in some baked beans or grilled veg or something to lighten it up just a tiny bit.

Or.. since you plan on apps.. maybe a nice crudite and some mozz/tomato skewers.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I'm going to add some cornbread and sliced watermelon. If that's not enough food, they can bring some stuff themselves Chat Icon

IMO for that amount of people, you should have a chicken option (not just the wings) even if its just skewers or something. I also dont think a 6' hero is enough
