What are you cooking for the 4th?

[wannchef]

I'll be making both carne asada and pollo asado al carbon to use on tostadas for 20. I'll also make refried beans, rice, guacamole and salsa for dessert Pastel de Cuatro Leches (four milk cake). Oh yeah and lots of margaritas.

It's my birthday this weekend so I'm treating myself. A 1 1/3 pound porterhouse that I'm currently dry aging. The wife is picking out the sides and she gets a wifey sized ribeye. All digested with a nice bourbon (haven't picked it yet) and my favorite cigar, a Ghurka Shaggy Natural.

Going to cook a whole pig and one brisket. Have a great 4th everyone!

 

[Sean "Puffy" Coals]

I wish I knew. I have a couple of options- lots of pork loins, spares and baby backs available, but we haven't decided where we're going yet and no one has asked me to cook... might do something just for myself.

My pit will be done for the weekend so I'm doing the family reunion. 5 - Bone in butts, 30 pieces of chicken low and slow with a high heat finish, and maybe some PIGGLES, Bacon onion blossoms, and a brisket laying around here.

Why, do you guys just go right from the 3rd to the 5th? Do you have to add the 32nd of December to make it up?

(Sorry, couldn't resist...)

Cochinita Pibil. I've made faux Cochinita pibil a few times using aluminum foil and we really like the flavor. Finally found some banana (actually Plantain) leaves at a local Mexican grocer. They have the Seville oranges too. I am hyped.

It will be the annual family gathering at my brother's place. This really is a big deal. Nieces and nephews from all over the country show up.

Got a recipe you wouldn't mind sharing for that Kevin?

We're helping out at our village picnic most of the day, grilling up and packaging a couple of thousand hot dogs and brats. Village does a big picnic in a local park, live band, stuff for little kids...buck fifty bears and dogs are like 75 cents, brats 1.25. Usually pretty packed all day.

Doubt I'll be very hungry for more after that!

 

[Lake Dogs]

Have about 50 guests coming over (to the lake). Making 6 butts, 4 chuckies, and 1
large pork tenderloin. BBQ, floatin', drankin', perhaps a little water skiing & tubing.
Then, after dark, a 10 mile boat ride to see the fireworks show. Over water, it's
amazing. Plus, a few hundred boats with all the red and green lights over the water,
it's pretty magical.

Doesn't suck.

Y'all have a great 4th!!!!

 

[Ribbin' Randy]

Not sure yet. I've done a lot in the past month. I'll be following this thread for something different!

 

[jessed]

The title says it all... What do you guys plan on que'ing up for the 4th? I think I am going to go with some ribs and stuffed jalapenos... Not to sure yet.

Back ribs from the smoker and home made potato salad on friday.plenty of left overs for the weekend.

 

[wlh3]

The fourth means hamburgers and hot dogs to me. Last year did hot dogs, so this year its burgers on the grill, potato chips and either potato salad or macaroni salad

ps and beer:clap2:

 

[WineMaster]

So far we got

Baby Backs, Country Style, Bear Ribs and Spare Ribs

 

[CajunSmoker]

Frying catfish, shrimp and frog legs. May throw some wings or hot dogs on the Weber too, but mainly everybody is ready for a fish fry:thumb:

I'm not doing any BBQ. I'll be grilling instead.

I'll be doing a trio of bacon wraps (ABT's, stuffed figs and stuffed mushrooms), chicken, steak, grilled quesadillas, and grilled vegetables for my vegetarian cousin.

Then there's the salads (potato, macaroni, etc.).

I may grill some fruits and drizzle honey on them for a dessert.

Reading this thread is getting me hungry.
