Just went back and looked at pictures from our Christmas party last year.
- Brisket
- Bacon wrapped dates stuffed with goat cheese seasoned with Dizzy Pig Pineapple Head. Dusted the bacon with DP PH as well
- Smoked Mac n' Cheese
- Baked corn casserole on the egg
- Homemade bread
- 72 hour 138* SV beef short ribs cubed and deep fried - These are awesome apps
- Assortment of pies, cookies, crackers and dips for appetizers that were brought

I would let everyone cook a little something. Fast stuff. No long cooks.2-XLs ,MM,blackstone,Ooni koda 16,R&V works 8.5 gallon fryer,express smoker and 40" smoking cajun

@texaswig Thanks I like the idea of everyone getting involved and helping out. Just trying to think through the idea that there may be a very different blend of flavours.Large, small, and a mini

I had guests help make empanadas once. I had the dough and filling ready; we visited while putting them together. Have dipping sauce ready when done. It was a hoot.Coleman, Texas
Large BGE & Mini Max for the wok. A few old camp Dutch ovens and a wood fired oven. LSG 24” cabinet offset smoker. There are a few paella pans and a Patagonia cross in the barn. A curing chamber for bacterial transformation of meats...

Just kinda have everything staggered so everyone's always eating and drinking.2-XLs ,MM,blackstone,Ooni koda 16,R&V works 8.5 gallon fryer,express smoker and 40" smoking cajun

Have fellow eggers chip in for sure. You're looking for quick cooks. I'd suggest bacon wrapped BBQ shrimp and bacon wrapped asparagus, good at room temp with dressing of choice. Have fun!Sandy Springs & Dawsonville Ga

I would consider having folks bring a dish or appetizer to egg. You could make some items a head of time keep in a cooler like @DMW suggested. The upside is that you get to try different things that people like to make. The downside is that the logistics may be a little tricky e.g. the LBGE will have to be available for cooking a dish or two that guests bring, while you crank out apps on the other 2 eggs.

@caliking thanks I do have a second grill that can go above the grill that rests on the fire ring. So that could work if the guests were told about height restrictions. But it defineatly could work.Large, small, and a mini
