jules Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 I have a bunch of Chicago family at my house for dinner tomorrow and I'm struggling with a menu. there are a total of 16 for dinner but 4 don't eat meat at all and 2 won't even eat chicken. I was toying with a rigatoni bolognese and a basil marinara spaghetti but there are a lot of meat lovers that would skew more toward steaks and onion on an open fire. I'm really having a hard time with a decision. there will be prosicuto, salami and provolone apps as well as my chipotle-arbol salsa. I know, two different styles but I like to make my best dishes for big company. Im turning watmm, please halp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murve33 Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Barbeque, and grill corn on the cob. Also throw some Boca Burgers on the grill in addition to whatever meat is being cooked. That's what my family does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jules Posted July 16, 2011 Author Share Posted July 16, 2011 lol. macaroni or steak damn it! that's the question but I can go nuts with macaroni. I can make tbe family Sunday gravy and there will be more meat than if I grill. really this does come down to the fact that at 35 years old, i can not make 1 single decision anymore* it is very discouraging *except to day the exact opposite if my wife. she likes to argue.

murve33 Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Buy some meat protein, seriously, no one will notice. Throw that into the pasta or whatever you listed in the first post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root5 Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Why not have a meal like pasta, to which meat can be added. Then cook meat, and also cook some tofu/hard boiled eggs. Let them serve themselves what they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
