Somebody made a post in the BBQ Pulled Pork thread re: a grilled sourdough bread brushed with buffalo sauce, spices, and melted mozzarella, and it sounded pretty darned good.

BBQ sides I enjoy.

Coleslaw (is that too typical, either way, it's my perfect BBQ side dish).

Kimchee (or however you spell it) goes great with BBQ, but I'm guessing it will scare people who aren't familiar.

You might try flipping a next level Mac and Cheese thing, use some different cheese, make it a little more creative?

Frankly- this isn't an area when I'm prone to get too creative. BBQ is such a celebration of the meat that there's no point in going nutty with the side dishes.

OK here it is again

Buffalo Mozzarella:

Slice some Sourdough Baguettes, hit them with a half spoon of buffalo wing sauce then a piece of fresh mozzarella. Season them with Creole, parsley, basil, pepper and kosher salt and toss them on the grill using indirect heat until the bread is nice and toasty and the mozzarella just starts to break into a melt.

Another non-traditional (for BBQ's anyway) but always hit item:

1 pkg. (6 oz.) Smoked or Maple Ham

1/2 cup Light Cream Cheese Spread

4 Kosher Dill Pickle Spears


SPREAD ham evenly with cream cheese spread, using about 1 Tbsp. of the cream cheese spread on each ham slice.

CUT each pickle spear in half lengthwise. Place 1 pickle piece on each ham slice; roll up. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour or until ready to serve.

CUT each roll-up crosswise into 4 pieces.
