Saturday, May 30, 2026 Feeding ~50 hungry friends on Long Island!
Starting at 1 PM and running late (midnight+) with smoke, grills, fire pit vibes, and good times 🔥🍖
Appetizers (to kick things off while the meats finish)
- Smoked Deviled Eggs – hard-boiled eggs lightly smoked whole, then filled with creamy tangy filling + BBQ twists (bacon bits, smoked paprika, etc.)
- Pork Belly Burnt Ends – crispy, saucy “pork candy” cubes smoked low & slow
- Fresh Watermelon Slices/Cubes – cool, juicy refresh
- Chips & Salsa – classic easy snacking
Mains (the smoky stars of the show)
- Texas-Style Smoked Brisket – slow-smoked whole packers, tender with perfect bark, sliced fresh
- Fall-Off-The-Bone Ribs – baby back or St. Louis-style, rubbed, smoked, and sauced (or dry if you prefer)
- Cornell Chicken Drumsticks & Thighs – marinated in the classic Upstate NY tangy sauce (vinegar, oil, egg, poultry seasoning), grilled on the gas grill with repeated basting for juicy, flavorful skin
Sides (the perfect BBQ complements)
- Classic Coleslaw – creamy and crunchy to cut through the richness
- Pasta Salad – chilled, loaded with veggies and tangy dressing
- Baked Beans – slow-cooked with bacon, onion, and BBQ sauce for that sweet-smoky depth
Desserts (sweet finish to keep the party going)
- Peach Cobbler – warm baked peaches with biscuit topping (served with ice cream if you want)
- S’mores Station – graham crackers, marshmallows, chocolate + fire pit roasting for late-night fun
- Undetermined - maybe a surprise!
Plenty of sauces on the side (sweet, spicy, tangy BBQ + extra Cornell sauce), iced drinks, water, lemonade, all the beverages, and all the fixings.
