Favorite item to grill/recipe?

Options
I have been pouring over these different threads and see different feasts each night.  But was wondering what each member's favorite food item to grill was ? And if you would be willing to share recipes?

Mine is a steakhouse cut ribeye (1.5" thick cut)
Salt and pepper only
Medium rare 
7.5 min per side at 275-300

    Lots of good stuff (wings, ribs, pulled pork) but skirt steak tacos, and green lightning shrimp are probably 2 of my favorites.

    Beef short ribs.  Faster than brisket and some leftovers for chili 

    Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent.

    Hot Italian sausage.  

    There is a company called New York Style Italian Sausage out here in SJ CA.  Their hot Italian sausage on the Weber is so good I could eat it everyday.

    Pork belly burnt ends are pretty high on the list for me.  


    I thought about that John, if fact I did these last Monday .   My PCP is on this forum and comes to BB, so I think he may disagree  :s

    SRF Brisket. I love the smell of brisket on a crisp fall morning.

    As with @DoubleEgger - independent of the smell, the challenge every cook is what sets brisket apart.  A journey unto itself- "The cow drives the cook."
    But a brisket cook is not a "grill cook" so in that fashion I will go with paella as I figure any cook where you are working the BGE at 400*F+ qualifies.  
    However, disclaimer- several adult beverages into a great Saturday!

    Where do you buy them? I live in Mountain View and don't think I've ever seen them at Whole Foods or Safeway.

    Until today, my favorite cook was salmon. But I made some chili verde today, for the first time, and I now think that is my favorite thing.

    Fav is chicken breast halves with rib bones. They cook in less than an hour at 350, and are super moist.  We use them for different casseroles, but they are delicious with a potato and vegetable for a evening dinner.

    Hey dmourati, I buy the New York Style sausage at Safeway.  They make a mild and a hot.  I recommend the hot.  The company is located in Sunnyvale.  Below is the link to their website.  They also own the Frankie, Johnnie and Luigi Italian restaurant chain here in the South Bay.

    I grill the sausages over fairly high heat, 400 degrees or so, on my Weber.  I like them juicy so I try not to over cook them.  Give 'em a try!

    Jeez, I used to go to Frankie, Johnnie, etc. on El Camino as a kid. Haven’t thought about that place in forever.

    edit - chiramonte’s was always the go to Italian sausage in San Jose that I remember, but I think you have to go to their deli to get it, I don’t think it’s sold in any stores.

    I forgot about Chiaramonte's.  I haven't had their sausage in decades.  They are still on 13th St.  I will have to stop by this week and get some.  You can only get it at their store as far as I know.  The old guy there used to make it with lamb casings. It was so good.

    There's a Frankie, Johnnie, and Luigi restaurant less than a mile from my house. I'll try to track down the sausage.

    Tough question, but broken in to categories;
    1) All-time : lamb cutlets, a bit charred - evoke memories of childhood and first introduction to BBQ, strong hint of methylated spirits in the taste and visions of Dad blowing the coals for hours.
    2) BGE : simple vertical chicken on the EGG, because it absolutely blew my mind the first time.
    3) Low & slow : spiced yoghurt marinated lamb shoulder 
    4) Hot & fast : tomahawk steak.
    5) Non-meat : potatoes in a CI skillet.

    Chorizo is one of my absolute favorites. All I can get is the bulk sausage style and not the dried but it’s fantastic. This one is on my list.

    This post is outstanding. Great idea Doc.

    My favorite GRILL on an egg is pork chops. Porterhouse chops (i.e. center cut bone-in) thats what ly local butcher calls them.

    Brined in NACL/apple cider for 10-20 hours. Coated in a rub, usually @Nature Boy Dizzy Dust or Swamp Venom or Crossroads. Grilled at 450 direct turning every three minutes until 145-150. I start brushing them with a 50/50 mix of ACV and a preserve/jelly ((apricot,apple,cherry,strawberry, anything that looks good(I buy it all from my Amish friends)) when they get above 105.

    Although not 'grilled', a 24 hour sous vide Tri-tip, finished caveman is always fun and spectacular.
