Me too, but it's never going to be with that particular operator.
Good question. I've never been in the kitchen at Mallory, but I think I've seen enough of it to know, cooking that many turkeys would be a problem.
The rule of thumb, is to plan 1 lb per person or 1.5 lbs per person if you're cooking whole birds. I was told by someone or read, that Mallory served 700 people on Thanksgiving Day.
That's a 1000 lbs of whole turkey or (50) 20 lbs Turkeys, at 4.5 hours/turkey (unstuffed freshTurkey takes about 13 minutes/lb.). No small task.
