Barbecued Chicken Menu

In this menu, the chicken is so sweet and sticky you have to eat it right off the bone. A layered salad has just the right proportion of crunchy celery to creamy Maytag blue cheese. Two picnic staples, macaroni salad and potato salad, are updated, combined, and tossed with peas and mint; they really are natural together.

Ribs with Potato Salad Menu

A barbecue would be incomplete without the to-go-withs. Chopped scallions are sprinkled on a potato salad made with Yukon golds. Stewing the collard greens a few hours ahead of time allows their flavor to deepen. The menu is both casual and fun.
