I'd been several weeks since I've made any BBQ - I'm sort of a wimp when it comes to cold weather outdoor cooking. I tend to stay inside and soup, stew, chili and pasta dishes the winter, but I think this weekend I'm going to man up and smoke a pork butt, which brings me to sides....
My favorites are (in this order) baked beans, cole slaw, and texas taters. Baked potatoes, potato salad, and corn are honorable mentions for me. I consider most of these "classic sides" I had lunch at Smokey Mo's in Arnold MO earlier this week, and was sort of impressed by the other sides they had ((broccoli casserole, and collard greens), but did not partake . I had beans and slaw, both of which were OK, but not great. I like my beans with some meat in them, and more on the savory/spicy side, less sweet. I like my slaw dressed lightly, either mayo or vinegar based works for me, and I've never had a bad tater in my life. Taters with cheese sauce and crunchy cornflake topping probably came from heaven if you ask me. My good buddies' wife Tiffany makes em' the best.
What are your favorite BBQ sides, and why do you like them? Are there any "non-traditionals" that have become your favorite?
