DINNER IDEAS?

whta

SWMBO just informed me we have 8 family members coming to for dinner tonight, and I get to cook!

Love the opportunity, but looking for ideas.  We just did Hamburgers and roasted corn on Sunday, so need some new ideas that won't take several hours to smoke.

GO!

What's your budget?

What size egg? Spatch some chickens and roast some veggies

stuffed flank steak with cream cheese, mushrooms, roasted peppers, and spinach easy to make relatively quick and makes a good meal not expensive
there are many different variations of this so you can go as crazy as you like

Green lightning shrimp and chicken/steak kabobs, grilled veggies.  Just did this last weekend for a little pool party and it was a hit.

kabobs is easy, beef chicken, pork, veggies   covers everyones taste.  doing korean tacos, abt's, corn, maybe some seafood this weekend for the sebago days fireworks that the town launches over the house, half the street tends to show up.  nothing formal works best for me

pork loin roast is also easy

Pork loin...or several pork tenderloins, plus veggies and taters. We love mac and cheese with pork; however, your bride may not let you serve that to company!

Not crazy, but a couple hundred if necessary

$200?? Easy, 2 A5 Wagyu Ribeyes split 10 ways. That or maybe just some grilled chicken breast each with a different spice rub and fingerling potatoes in a cast iron skillet with Garlic, butter, and Rosemary.

Tacos or fajitas

Pick something you are comfortable and consistent at....on another note, SV makes cooking for groups frees up a lot of time

Do you have a wok?  Blackstone? 

Stir fry is fun and quick.  

I dabbled with pad thai last week on Blackstone and I felt it was above average.

Hot dogs, do a hot dog bar with all the toppings.

$100 could get you a s#*@ load of tacos from Burger King..

Prime rib roast

Sorry I didn't get back sooner - crazy week-end 

THANKS FOR THE IDEAS!!!

Anyway - SWMBO decided it would be.......Boneless chicken breast and thighs.  Not very exciting, but it was very easy to do.

I think Pork Tenderloins would have been the next option.

Fajitas would have required marinading, and did not have time to buy, prep and use.

No Wok or Blackstone, so Thai was a no go.

Hot dogs would not have worked with this group - not healthy (to them - not me - love me some hot dogs!)

THANKS AGAIN FOR THE SUGGESTIONS
