Pulled pork, ribs, smoked chicken, or probably smoked turkey.


Brisket is always way too fatty.

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

Thanks!

Brisket obviously. Chopped pork. Decent sausage.

Also a good selection of so-called "craft" beers on ice. Bottles only obviously. No health conscious or civilized person drinks from plastic lined cans.

Pickled eggs and beets

I really liked when they bbq shrimp on skewers.

DCUM is too concerned about mayo-based safety.

The high acidity in the store mayo is a pathogen killer. Moreover, if DCUM is a representative sample, it's a possibility your host is using Miracle Whip, in which case salmonella would be considered an improvement.

Hot dog with good toppings

Pulled pork sandwich with a vinegar-based coleslaw on the sandwich
Macaroni and cheese
Pasta salad with fresh vegetables
Don't care for potatoe salad/ribs/brisket

A Santa Maria style tri-tip, which is pretty easy. Ribs if you have the time. Good sausages, often smoked. I like chicken too, but the griller really needs to know what they're doing with chicken. Same with fish, which is also very good in capable hands. Grilled vegetables, but they don't sit for long. Need to eat immediately.

I think basic things like hamburgers are pretty tricky bc you really need to know technique to get it perfect. And I'm always happy when I come across a hunter, because these people are invested in their meats and usually do a good job on the grill.

This is mostly all grilling. Slow, southern style bbq is a different thing.

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.

Burgers grilled are almost never good.

Burger on a flattop cooked in its own fat is the way.
