At your BBQ event, it’s important to not only have the best meat options for your guests, but the side dished play a major role in keeping your guests happy. Whether you’re serving up juicy ribs, pulled pork, or a full pig roast, the right sides can take your meal to the next level. David Graham Events, a Detroit-based catering company specializing in BBQ and pig roasts, offers a variety of mouthwatering sides that pair perfectly with any BBQ spread.

Corn O’Brien

Corn O’Brien is a unique twist on a corn dish. With peppers, onion, and pimento, this simple corn side dish is a great addition to your BBQ event.  Sometimes, more ingredients like diced potatoes or bacon can be added to enhance this dish.

Coleslaw

Nothing complements the richness of BBQ meats like a fresh, crunchy coleslaw. This refreshing side adds a cool contrast to the bold, smoky flavors of your BBQ. Whether you prefer a traditional creamy coleslaw or a vinegar-based slaw, it provides the perfect balance of texture and flavor, cutting through the richness of ribs and pulled pork.

Baked Beans

No BBQ feast is complete without a hearty serving of baked beans. This comforting side dish, rich with the flavors of brown sugar, molasses, and slow-cooked beans, brings a bit of sweetness to balance out the savory BBQ meats. Add a touch of smoked bacon or pulled pork, and you’ve got the ultimate BBQ side.

Baked Macaroni and Cheese

Creamy, cheesy, and indulgent, macaroni and cheese is a crowd-pleasing BBQ side that appeals to both kids and adults alike. Whether baked with a crunchy breadcrumb topping or served straight from the stovetop, mac and cheese offers a rich and creamy contrast to smoky meats, making it a BBQ favorite.

Potato Salad

Potato salad for your side dish can be very versatile. From American Potato Salad to Redskin Potato Salad, you’ll have the option of choosing what is best for your guest list. Whether you prefer it with a mayo-based dressing or a tangy mustard-vinegar twist, potato salad is a hearty and refreshing accompaniment to BBQ meats. The creamy potatoes offer a cooling contrast to the smoky, spiced BBQ.
