That lowcountry boil is what we call a crawfish boil down here! No sides needed (since people boil everything from corn and potatoes to mushrooms and onions along with the crawfish). The key is lots of lemon! And no need for fancy cocktails. Just bring your favorite beer or drive though a daiquiri shop (yes, you heard that correctly--drive-thru daiquiris) on your way.
Granted it was winter, but for a weekend away with friends, we did carnitas nacho bar. It was super easy to prep everything ahead of time and we did a ton of toppings. I melted the cheese on tortilla chips in the oven and then people could add whatever toppings they wanted. Easy!
Love this! My go to dinner party is menu is tostadas, for very similar reasons to your taco party. I can make everything ahead of time and it is really easy to task people if they want to bring something. We usually do thinly sliced grilled steak (flank, skirt or flatiron - I work for a grassfed beef company, so we've got meat for days around here!), refried black beans, and/or fish (albacore tuna, rockfish and salmon are favorites) depending on the season as the main toppings. Then round it out with a ton of toppings and let everyone build their own tostadas. Total crowd pleaser and I can drink margaritas with my feet in the kiddie pool instead of cooking once the party starts.
Well this is timely. I just had my sisters family over for bulgogi tonight! Easy to get on the table and eat with 6 kids. One of my favorites of yours!
Our favorite is make your own pizza night- we used to do it on grill or oven but now we have a Ooni we do it in. Latest we did was a pizza cook off for who has the best pizza flavor combo! Guests bring their toppings for their flavor combo
