****** 2016 ORC Taco Feed ******

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.

We're in for:

2x 100ct. corn tortillas

Added a section to the OP for jobs during the taco feed that need to be done.

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.

I love that you signed me up for my food already!

It is soooo good.  Even if I pay for it the next day.  Totally worth it.

This is pretty cool...never been to ORC, but been here long enough to know how excited everyone has gotten in the past.  And it's back. Sounds like a great time!

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.

Taco shell fryer molds (x4)
250+ct Paper Plates
Plastic cutlery
Some Ice on site

David Mason!- I challenge thee! Thy delectable concoction of bi-valve potage herewith brings shortage amongst the masses. I too shall dare craft a cauldron for twofold!

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,
Sam

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. 

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

Great idea on the firewood fund pool. I can pitch in because unfortunately we will not be able bring a trailer load this year like we have in the past.
