[BKYDBBQ]

Here it is, Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Hot Dog on a gourmet bun, Mom's Macaroni Salad, Corn on the Cob...

[WayneT]

Our eclectic Fourth fare.


Prime NY Strip (foreground) and choice ribeye steaks.


Chicken empanadas.


Ham croquettes.


Obligatory hot dogs to appease Panhead John .


Mari Jo showing off the entire spread. Ham croquettes, chicken empanadas, steaks, hot dogs, deviled eggs, tropical fruit salad, mixed greens salad, cherry tomatoes.






Store bought fruit bomb cake.


Home made ice cream sandwich cake. Kudos to the grand kids for that.

Time to hide the scales and hibernate until I lose 10 lbs.

[Richard Chrz]

It all looks fantastic, way to go Mari Jo

[WayneT]

Jim White It was supposed to be a tapas homage to all the wonderful Spanish influenced food we enjoyed while in FL. I chose to make the croquettes after having some Serrano ham croquettes at Bulla in Tampa. Most grocery stores up here can’t even spell Serrano so I had to use Prosciutto. Go figure. At any rate, when four hungry teenagers descend on your soirée, you better break out the hot dogs or the adults will go hungry. I just didn’t have the heart to cut the dogs up into tapas. 🙄

[Jim White]

Ah. That makes sense. Now I'm craving a sangria.

Taking the "raw" ingredients from my post above ( https://pitmaster.amazingribs.com/fo...65#post1447765 ), I present:




Chili cheese dogs and a chili cheese burger with red Hatch chili.

[ofelles]

Leave off the bottom and left side of the plate and I'm in.

[Red Man]

Smoked burgers and brats with potato salad.

[Panhead John]

Excellent! It ALL looks great….

[WayneT]

Aaaaaaand, once again, plaudits to Panhead John for organizing another stellar, holiday, culinary cookit and lookit. Take a victory lap sir, and enjoy the kudos with your Jack and Coke.

(I purposely set the bar low in order to ensure no one has to worry about following my posts in these events.)

[Michael_in_TX]

This all was a stupidly amount of fun!

[WayneT]

I agree, Michael. I haven’t had this much fun since my last root canal. Now tell your PBR drinking neighbor to the west to get his size 38 arse out of his recliner and wrap this thing up. We’re all waiting for his climactic finale where he bestows insults on us all then gives us the wink.

[mnavarre]

Mmmm. Chili dogs.


Just one of life's little pleasures.

[Panhead John]

Chili dogs…..my favorite!

[SheilaAnn]

Pepper jack sliders on pretzel Hawaiian rolls.

[Troutman]

Outstanding

[Panhead John]

Very outstanding!

[JoeSousa]

It was a complete sausage fest here. Italian sausage, beef and cheddar, some smoked brats, and regular hotdogs for the kids. And some peppers and onions for those who were so inclined.

[Troutman]

Sausage-a-rama

[Panhead John]

I’ve decided to post my hot dog cook from last night, not just as a visual feast for your eyes, but also as a learning tool for the hot dog challenged members of The Pit, several of whom so blatantly and willingly violated the rules. One of the members [yeah you WayneT ] even tried to skirt the rules by inserting a lame hot dog pic in with his lovely wife’s feast that SHE prepared, while this said member was probably lounging around in his underwear drinking beer. So, to help these rule breaking varmints, who must not know how to prepare a hot dog, I will present you with an utterly fascinating step by step tutorial!

STEP 1- Prepare your sides and fixings


STEP 2- Start construction of hot dog with your favorite condiment


Step 3- Layer your fixings one at a time, bacon in this case


Step 4- Insert hot dog


Step 5- Place cheese and/or toppings next


Step 6- Place chili [NO BEANS] on top of dog as your final step



There……that’s all there is to it. Feel free to prepare hot dogs to your liking. My chili cheese dog is but one variation of this tasty American classic. In conclusion, the next cook-off/smackdown or whatever, will come with serious consequences for any and all rule breakers who decide to go rogue. As an example of how serious these consequences can be, in this post…..I didn’t give a single “Like” to anyone who posted something besides a burger or hot dog!

[Panhead John]

I figured that would scare em! 😂

[WayneT]

The next time four hungry teenagers descend on my place, you’re invited to come and prepare their hot dogs for them. We’ll see if you’re ever invited back again. Even bacon wouldn’t redeem you.

[ofelles]

Skip step 4 and I'm good.

[Alan Brice]

Man! I am used to cooking on NG. This new LP did not allow for me to take any, in the process, pics. Altogether, I am going to guess, 2 dzn burgers. 10 brats n Metts each. 10 or 12 hotdogs(not sure how many are in a pkg these days). Did two pork shoulders on the new Kamado and a pot of Bonesy’s beans. About 30 guests total.
A couple days under Kim’s direction, to whip things into shape and here we go.

[Troutman]

Awesome cook out and 4th celebration!!

[ofelles]

So ya got Mr. Bones to come!

[Richard Chrz]

Great looking cook Bruce!. I need one of those Bonsey flags!

[jfmorris]

Ok - I didn't flip any burgers this long holiday weekend, but I did manage to toss down some Nathan's hot dogs and some brats on the kettle yesterday for lunch...

[jfmorris]

And before you say anything, I did notice the lone dog rolled off to the back edge of the kettle before I picked up the pan and headed inside!

[WayneT]

I thought that dog was for its namesake pet.

[LA Pork Butt]

BBQ sauced slotdogs and hamburgers for lunch yesterday. We do the slotdogs for the grand kids, but don’t do burgers often.

[Troutman]

Love the wieners Sonny!!

[Spinaker]

Oh yeah, the Slot Dog. Forgot about that thing. Those are great.

[Troutman]

After seeing SheilaAnn's yummy little sliders, I decided to post a little cook we did over the weekend with our attempt at some sliders. The hot dog cook we had planned with some sausages was aborted so I made these little guys last minute. It's once again some of the leftover ground Akaushi brisket made into tasty little burgers.

[Greygoose]

Sliders extraordinaire !!!

[WayneT]

Yep!

[SheilaAnn]

Troutman fine looking sliders!

[Rob whatever]

Smash burger
