What is the best summer BBQ food?

I am a carnivore, but I really like GardenBurgers. I've never tried it, but I bet a GardenBurger with BBQ sauce would be pretty good.

I went to a BBQ in South Carolina this summer and they had a couple dozen chickens and a whole pig roasting on a grille made out of an old oil barrel sawed in half. They said a proper BBQ doesn't involve burgers of any kind and after trying it I am inclined to agree.

Wow, a ripe opportunity for an excellent survey wasted. Bad...

bbq chicken
portabello mushrooms marinated in olive oil and balsamic vinegar
asparagus

I don't i know who SMG is, but I'm sure I'd prefer eating her.

Mmmm...Anna Kournikova

I would eat the charred flesh of Sara Michelle Gellar.

And of course you need side-dishes. Watermelon is a good one.

I'll take any barbecued meat, sweet corn, and any locally grown fruit.

Marinated grilled asparagus

You must have a fruit salad / jello with lots of bananas, strawberries, pineapple, coconut, dates, & yogurt. Tiny marshmallows work too.

Fresh corn on the cob.

What the hell? I'm from Cincinnati, which is a very German town... One thing that they had that I haven't found where I now live is Brats. Not Bratwurst, Brats. They are white and fat and awesome when they have been burnt on the grill.

Dammit... Hamburgers aren't BBQ, neither are Hot Dogs.. its cookout food... where the hell is the brisket (OK I didn't know the difference
until I moved to Texas)

Cajun or sweet&sour shark kabobs with pineapple, mushrooms, red bell-peppers, and cherry tomatoes.

I'm trying to avoid meat, but you drop me back off in VA and anywhere further south, and I coulfn't avoid a real barbeque. Northerners Dont' get It, I'm afraid.

Missing neighbor children.

Ostrich steak is by far the best.

The other thing I noticed is that they like to act like it makes them superior.

It's just sour grapes. They're still pissy about losing the civil war.

What crappy options. Jeez. Corn on the cob and my mom's potato salad.

We didn't lose.

Salmon!

RIBS!!!!

Anything cooked outside!!! And what about BBQ chicken. YUM!!!

Anyone from the South will know that you can't go wrong with pulled-pork BBQ. The real stuff. Oh! I'm so hungry now!!!

WhawhaWHAT? No chicken?!? Oh for shame. I tried barbecued Yes once but Chris Squire kept rolling off the grill and Trevor Rabin dripped cheese everywhere. However, I'll agree with you on one count: Mmmm...Sara Michelle Gellar!!! My pants get tighter just thinking about it.

BBQ garlic
BBQ corn
BBQ veggie shish kebab
