Summer is just around the corner, so it is time to start planning that BBQ menu! It feels great to be able to socialize again and we’ve come up with some barbeque ideas to host the perfect summer gathering.

Whether you are hosting an all-day family get-together or just having a few friends over for dinner, these great ideas will make your summer BBQs as delicious and fun as they are memorable.

BBQ Platters

BBQ platters provide your guests the opportunity to try various options you have prepared. There can only be so many diverse BBQ styles we can try, so having a mix and match of different barbecue sauces, meats, and even sides, you’re sure to get a platter with things you want to give a taste!

Burger Bar

A Burger Bar is an amazing way for your guests to customize their burgers with their favorite toppings, condiments, and patties. Let them choose what they want by having a burger bar at your next event! This will surely be a hit with all ages!

BBQ Skewers

If you are looking for something different than the traditional BBQ then why not try cooking some skewers? You may be surprised by how much fun skewers bring people. Customizing their own meal from different combinations you have from fish, meat, and veggies. You can even try international dishes in BBQ Skewers like teriyaki or kebab!

American BBQ Dishes

The good old American BBQ dishes you can‘t go wrong with. Comforting and delicious, this definitely is one BBQ idea we can all agree on. From potato salads, mac and cheese, baked beans, and cornbread , your BBQ is sure to be a belly-busting feast!

The arrival of summer provides us with an opportunity to see family, friends and loved ones that the other seasons may not allow. Hosting a BBQ can help bring everyone together and start the summer off on the right foot! Keep these tips in mind as you prepare your next feast and make sure to get everyone in on the fun!
