I WOULD UTILIZE THE FACT THAT YOU CAN GRILL AND DO MOST EVERYTHING OUTDOORS, BUT THROW A BISTRO TWIST ON THE PARTY!. WHICH BASICALLY WOULD JUST MAKE IT A LITTLE MORE UPSCALE SO TO SAY!. GARNISH THE PLATES WITH FRUIT CUT PROFESSIONALLY(WHICH YOU CAN GOOGLE TO FIND OUT HOW TO DO VERY EASILY) JUST BASICALLY MAKE BBQ LOOK TEN TIMES BETTER!. CUT YOUR FOOD PRETTIER, DESIGN YOUR PLATES AS IF YOURE PAINTING A PICTURE, GET CREATIVE WITH NAMING FOOD FOR EXAMPLE INSTEAD OF PLAIN OL BBQ RIBS WITH BAKED POTATO, YOU COULD SAY: SLOW COOKED BBQ RIBS TOPPED WITH CAJUN PINEAPPLE, ACCOMPANIED WITH POTATO CONFIT (witch just means the potato was soaked for 4 hours in butter prior to cooking) BUT IT ENDS UP SOUNDING REALLY NICE!. GOOD LUCK AND I HOPE YOUR PARTY IS A HIT!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I would do a light mix:
appetizer:
lots of finger foods out (sliced cucumbers, baby carrots, assorted peppers, broccoli, cauliflower, etc!.)
main:
hawaiian chicken kebabs (with pineapple), hot dogs, hamburgers, finger sandwiches (vegetarians)
dessert: watermelon, jello, grapes (can be frozen)
avoid: fish, potato salad, mayo based foods!.
