Title: ****** 2016 ORC Taco Feed ******
Post by: sumpNZ on April 19, 2016, 03:04:38 PM
Time to get serious!  I'll be running the planning for the Taco Feed again this year after my unfortunate hiatus last year.  As always, I might be organizing, but it is YOU that makes the taco feed happen by signing up to bring all the stuff that's needed.

I'd like to get a listing of folks that will help with the various aspects of the taco feed.  Below is a rough list of the things that need to be done on the day of the ORC.  Sound off if you want to take one or more of the jobs.  Only stipulation is the fish cutters not be asked by ANYONE to help with cooking or cleanup.  As mentioned by someone else, after a couple hours of drunken knife wielding it's a bad idea to have them near open flames and hot oil. 

Frying fish and tater tots/French fries (sumpNZ, Deluxeharley)
Filleting fish and cutting to taco size pieces (need probably 6 folks)
Running food from fryer to serving trays (2 people)
Set Up (4+ people)
Clean Up (as many as we can get)
Prep cook for fish frying
Tortilla cooking (Insayn +MurseStrong)
Beer service to cooks and fish cutters
Etc.

Here's my list of what all we need.  I will update the list over time as people sign up for items and/or suggest additional needs. 

Probably the #1 most critical item to secure is deep fryers.  2013 and before DeaFish was able to provide a nice set, but 2014 that went away.  2014 as I recall we used a series of turkey fryers.  We'll do that again if necessary, but if anyone has access to a good dedicated deep fryer that can take 2-3 large baskets simultaneously, ideally run on propane, PLEASE speak up.

Taken:
sumpNZ - Avocados, 100ct corn tortillas
Captain Redbeard - 2x 100ct corn tortillas, limes, ice, misc side dish
bluewrx02 - Chernobyl Chicken/ribs

browneyesvictim - Taco shell fryer molds (x4), 250+ct Paper Plates, Plastic cutlery

MurseStrong - Louisiana Lemon Fish Fry
INSAYN - 4x Pride of the West, discada/UFO
Adam12 - Side (jambalaya), 300-400 Red Solo cups, 6 rolls paper towels and 500+ napkins
craig - fryer and burner 5 gallon jug of oil
Wobbler - fryer and burner
broweneyesvictim/Goldendog - Clam Chowder SMACKDOWN!!!  Let's see who's is best.
Dan E - shredded cheese
Matt M - salsas (probably a few different varieties in large quantity)

If I have the room in my packing I will supply my UFO (discada) and LP tank to run it. 
 
I'll get it setup, and take it back down when done.  I will also run the first shift and train anyone else that wants to fly the UFO. It's actually pretty fun.

You can count my burner, turkey cooker and propane in again this year along with bottled water. I also have a huge pot for boiling crab, clams or anything else if there is a need for it.
I can speak up for some other items as we get closer.

Awesome - glad you're on this again Andrew!

I will have my turkey fryer, burner, and propane.  I able to help with setup/frying duties and/or runner.

I will also plan to bring a case of soda, a fruit bowl side dish, and a jug of salsa.  Will plan to check the list for missing items as ORC approaches...

Thanks,

I will be bringing my pop up trailer to chinook bend.  I have a large outdoor double burner that is fueled by propane I can bring.  I my be able to borrow my father in laws deep fryer.  It has two baskets.  I have a large pot used for crab we could use as well.

I will volunteer to bring more food as the time comes up

Just as a reminder- a quote from last years thread.


One thing was brougbt to my attention- we need Firewood of anybody has any!


Just a suggestion for next year if NA will be orchestrating the ORC again, would be to set a little of the entry fee cash aside to line up some local firewood to be delivered to the campground for our use.  I have no idea what this would cost, but I have seen over the years many folks do this at various campgrounds when they are having family reunions.  Someone just shows up with a small dump truck, or 1 ton truck and "poof" there's now a 1/2 to 1 cord of wood for the week. 

Just a thought.  8)

Love the suggestion, we will ensure that this is on the list for 2016!

I don't usually cook with that, so I don't recall exactly how much we need.  Trying to remember but I think around 4 of the 10oz packages should be plenty.  Anyone else got a better estimate?

You can get a 6-pack on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Louisiana-Fish-Fry-Orleans-6x10Oz/dp/B0035LVLMM) for $16.73 with Prime shipping.  If it was me, I'd probably buy the 6-pack and take back home anything that was unopened afterwards.  Assuming you'd normally cook with it at home that is.

15 cases is not bad, but a far cry from the 2 kegs we got before.  Sounds like we need to look into additional beer sponsorship.

I seem to recall hearing that things didn't go so well with Rogue at the first or second ORC.  Is that accurate?  Granted, even if it is that was quite a while ago and they might do better now. 

If I wasn't coming from quite so far away (and in a Camry rather than a truck/SUV) I'd look into some local breweries as there are so many up this way.  But there's also a ton around PDX.

So, who's up for looking for an additional beer sponsor?
Title: Re: ****** 2016 ORC Taco Feed ******
Post by: bsteves on April 23, 2016, 10:48:40 PM
There are 165 twelve oz servings in a full keg, or 6.8 cases.

In other words, 15 cases is the same as the same as 2.2 kegs.

Also, I feel if Ninkasi is willing to pony up that much beer for us, we shouldn't be looking for other beer sponsors.

If we need more beer, people should either BYOB or we can start a beer fund to get a keg.

Title: Re: ****** 2016 ORC Taco Feed ******
Post by: sumpNZ on April 24, 2016, 07:38:38 AM
I thought that was equivalent to about 1 keg.  If it's a little more than 2 kegs worth then yeah, it's cool and additional beer should be unnecessary.

I only drink Protestant whiskey...not that you were offering. ;) Hah! Actually, I have a co-worker that won't drink Bushmill's because it is Protestant. Guess what brand I buy. ;)

Also, I will help cut fish again as long as the beer is flowing. I can bring a fryer if needed again.

I will definitely be able to bring a double propane burner for people to use.  I have been deep frying food on my father in laws fryer for the last few days (fresh clams, fish and chicken).  Anyways,  the fryer is set up for two baskets and is electric.  I can only do a few pieces of fish at a time in each basket (so total I can do 4-6 portions the size of your pal.  I will bring it just in case we are really low but it may be much easier to use the propane heaters and grab a few large pots and get them going.

Alrighty.  Been purposely holding off on bumping this thread until my MBA was all done, and with graduation yesterday, and the hangover gone, it's time to get this rolling again.

I'll go through the thread in the next day or so and make sure the list up to is up to date.  But definitely I need people to start claiming items.

Also, sound off if you want to volunteer to help with set up, or clean up.  I'll make a list of volunteers on the OP.  I need at least 4 helpers on set up and 10 on cleanup.  More is merrier of course.

Also, to the organizing committee for the ORC: I seem to recall seeing that the tournament would provide for some items like firewood and possibly other stuff too.  Can you please clarify, for the purposes of the taco feed, what (if anything) will be provided by the tournament, and if I should purchase said items and be reimbursed or if one of the organizing committee will do that.

Figure on about 3 tacos per person, up to 120 people, so 350-400 tacos.  I'd guess probably around 6lbs of shredded cheese.  Maybe a bit more.  I'm assuming 1/4 ounce per taco.  That may be off.

What we can do is just open one bag of cheese at a time, and then if there are leftovers you would certainly be welcome to take them back home.

So far there's 40 registered.  I doubt we'll get to 120 participants.  Even if we do not everyone will stick around for the tacos, and of those that do, there is a lot of other food (usually) and so not everyone will want tacos. 

I didn't count 2 years ago, but when we had 112 competitors, I don't think we went through 400 tacos.

I'll be heading to Oregon from Montana on July 1, and will be on the road, fishing here and there and everywhere, between then and ORC.  So it'll be hard for me to tote along any equipment, and hard for me to supply any food or supplies which I can't buy in Depoe Bay.  So I'll volunteer for setup, and whatever other chores are needed.

I'll be heading to Oregon from Montana on July 1, and will be on the road, fishing here and there and everywhere, between then and ORC.  So it'll be hard for me to tote along any equipment, and hard for me to supply any food or supplies which I can't buy in Depoe Bay.  So I'll volunteer for setup, and whatever other chores are needed.

Right on!  I'll add you to the list. 

Look forward to your tips/tricks for mackinaw fishing.  I have an intention of fishing Lake Chelan the weekend of July 23.

I know there's only 50 people paid up so far, but more folks need to step up on helping with taco feed.  I think 20 people roughly have signed up to help out on the taco feed so far.  We're getting close to the line and there still a ton that needs to be claimed.

If I can swing it this year I'll bring a few batches of TLW's cookies, and help with either setup or cleanup. Just not sure if it's in my cards yet.

When do you think you'll be able to commit?  Just let me know when you're sure about coming to ORC and I'll add you to the list.  If you do come and want to help with either setup or cleanup, but not both, I'll put you on cleanup if that's OK.  I need more hands for that and fewer folks have signed up for that yet.

   Myself and Seahorse haven't "officially" signed up yet either. But we will be there. Andrew , put me down for the name tags and set-up and clean-up. I may be somewhat limited -- but I'll do what I can to help. I'm pretty sure we'll throw a side dish together too. Maybe a potato salad or some other starchy type thing. See ya'll in  couple of weeks.
  Andrew--- don't be getting all nervous. This will come together.

Please change my assignment from setup to fish processing.  It's probably the only way I'll get my hands on any fish during ORC. I'll have knives and a board.

Don't sell yourself short Pete.  My first ORC, which was also my first time fishing the ocean from a kayak (I'd hit the Sound with no success once or twice before hand), I came in 5th with an 11lb 7oz ling cod.  That is the larger of the two fish in my avatar.

That said, I'll put you on the fillet crew.

Updated the list.

I think we're getting pretty close with food items, but I need more folks to volunteer to help with prepping the food (e.g. fillet crew, as well as getting the fish coated for frying, plus general setup), probably need at least one more cook, more cleanup crew, and a couple people to help with running food from fryers to serving area.

I would bring a few, but my truck and trailer are already overflowing.

I'll help, if it means I can finagle a few gluten-free fish bits from the fry-masters  ;D  Seriously, though, I'll be there to help with whatever. I suck at filleting, though... it looks like some kind of horror movie when I do it. Happy to help prep stuff, coat fish, whatever.

I'm also planning on bringing my pop-up shade d/t the forecast so wherever that is most useful I can set it up.

Damn Sam.  Was hoping to hang with you again this year.  Get some good rest and we'll see you next year.  The weather forecast is deteriorating so if that continues we might be doing something else for the tacos than fish.  Hope not, but 15-20kt and gusts to 25kt is easily beyond my personal limits.  Praying it calms down and isn't like that on Saturday after all.
Title: Re: ****** 2016 ORC Taco Feed ******
Post by: SamM on July 06, 2016, 09:00:39 PM
Thanks - definitely a bummer...  You'll have to get the story of the rag tag group that pulled off the fish fry last year from somebody else.

Good luck, hope the weather forecast improves; that sounds worse than last year.

A couple folks have dropped out.  We're now down by 2 fryers, lettuce, taco shell molds, and 2 canisters of propane.

If anyone has space and can replace the propane and fryers/burners PLEASE do so.  I'm in a small car, and will bring whatever I can find quickly but likely won't have space to do so.
