You cant do BBQ without potato salad. Maybe something like this?</p> <p><a href="http://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/potato-salad-bites/3a232f45-0e5d-4b78-81c4-184c5c42b2e2" rel="nofollow">http://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/potato-salad-bites/3a232f45-0e5d-4b78-81c4-184c5c42b2e2</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/menu-ideas-for-upscale-bbq#post-516417 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 17:13:30 +0000 Arden 516417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Okay, so I'm thinking:<br /> - Variety of slider burgers/sandwiches<br /> - Paper cones with sweet potato fries, regular fries, and green bean fries.<br /> - Clear plastic cups filled with potato salad and coleslaw.<br /> - Mini jars with baked beans.<br /> - Veggie skewers served with ranch dip in shot glasses, and fruit skewers served with sweet cream in shot glasses.<br /> - Mini paper bags filled with different kinds of chips. </p> <p>Drinks:<br /> - Flavored lemonades<br /> - Glass bottled sodas</p> <p>and for dessert:</p> <p>- Mini pies (the ones from walmart that are super cheap and come in lots of flavors and will save me tons of work)<br /> - ICE CREAM BAR! Just vanilla and chocolate, with some bowls of different toppings and sauces. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/menu-ideas-for-upscale-bbq#post-516409 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 17:04:58 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 516409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: I love the cone look for fries and chips, but wonder about the taste. What's your plan to keep the fries tasting good while sitting out in the air for awhile?</p> <p>You could serve cole slaw (and other traditional BBQ slides) in individual cups lined up in artistic way on platters or tiered stands. J Alexander's makes a blue cheese cole slaw.</p> <p>Here's a link to one of my fav food blogs.

If you have any ideas for other BBQ type foods that can be served in individual app-style servings, please share! </p>
