My annual almost burnt grilled hotdog.
Pork ribs

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.

+1LOL. This and the "I'm leaving food out for an open house" has me in stitches. You're not getting sick off the mayo.

Brisket is always way too fatty.

That's what makes it so good. Lowfat BBQ = hilariously silly and tough and nasty.

Flag cake!!

A grilled hot dog says summer!

Whatever. stupid MAGA.

I’m a Democrat and I despise Trump, but I refuse to let MAGA take over literally the flag of my country. I’ve never made a flag cake, because I’m not great at desserts, but I’d happily eat a piece.

Potato salad, but only the glorious kind made with mustard.

I love all bbq, pork and beef. When available, love the beef burnt bits, pork ribs, pulled pork, and brisket in this order. Chicken a bit less but also get it sometimes.

Cole slaw

All of the Mayo haters need to decline the invite to barbecues.

Corn on the cob
Cucumber salad
Strawberry shortcake or another summer dessert

1. German potato salad
2. Deviled eggs
3. Caprese salad
4. Mexican shredded beef with mini street corn tortillas
5. Spicy Asian coleslaw

Favorites that I don’t usually do due to time, trouble, logistics etc

1. Carmelized onions or tomato bacon jam for toppings
2. Ceviche
3. Millionaire bacon on a stick
4. Chicken lollipops
5. Gazpacho

Every time I've served deviled eggs they were gone almost immediately. People love them so much.

Potato salad made with vinaigrette is fine though.

I don’t care. I’m just happy to be there. If I went to a bbq restaurant I’d get brisket. At someone’s house I’d prefer a burger if you don’t have brisket.
