Not sure if you mean you are serving barbecue or if you are grilling out stuff like burgers, dogs, etc.

IMO I am most excited to see they’ve put out the toppings and extras necessary to make a burger or dog good. The onions, pickles, relish, ketchup, mustard, etc. The worst is just a plain, charred burger.

Likewise, a couple simple sides but make them delicious. the classics are classics for a reason, after all.

No potato salad and no baked beans

Really good mac and cheese
Pulled pork
potato salad

and hear me out - really good hotdogs

If it’s actually barbecue you are asking about, I love soy curls with bbq sauce. YUM.
If you are asking about a cookout, I love macaroni salad, then potato salad, then veggie burger with fresh tomato, fresh lettuce, pickle.

I like potato salad, but am wary about it and may avoid if I think it may have been left out too long or not be kept cold long enough. Pasta salad is a close second, and I don’t feel I need to worry excessively about food safety with it.

I like watermelon.

Really, the best part are the cheeseburgers.

While I certainly don’t expect it, ice cream would be wonderful.

Another vote for potato salad.

And if there is anything green, especially salad, I'm the one eating it.

That isn't barbecue.

Hosting a Memorial Day bbq/grilled food for a bunch of friends.

When you go to a bbq, what do you hope to see (food wise). There something special you get jazzed about?

Thanks!
