There\u2019s nothing quite as delicious as a quality piece of meat straight off the BBQ, and you are sure to make your guests mouths (and yours) water by offering a variety of tasty and party-worthy meats at your outdoor shindig. We recommend picking 2-3 different meats to serve your guests so that you are able to please everyone, yet whoever is manning the grill won\u2019t be too overwhelmed.<\/p>\n

The Spread<\/u> \u2013 Ensuring that your offerings are appealing and presented in a logical order is key in pulling off a streamlined and delicious BBQ party!

It is best to place things like chips and salsa, salads, veggie and fruit trays, and other side dishes near the beginning of the table to ensure your guests get their fill of sides.<\/p>\n
