I tend to use a minimum of 4 oz. per person, so a minimum of 2 lbs per table
of 8.  If you serve the beef first, you will need more.  Carnivores will pig
out and everyone else seems to eat normally rather than pace themselves.  

I like to serve a sweet dish before the first course.  The sugar helps
assuage the ravenous appetite and slows the tempo of the feast.  It can also
buy you 10 to 20 extra minutes, if things are not going well with the first
course.
