00:00The topic is best food to bring to a barbecue or a cookout for Memorial Day.
00:04That implies to me, someone is hosting this event.
00:08Therefore, the main event of the barbecue or the cookout,
00:13whatever that is, hamburgers, hot dogs, ribs,
00:16the main food event.
00:18The entree is provided, and you are bringing something supplementary.
00:23Am I understanding that correctly?
00:25Yes.
00:26So it's kind of like sides.
00:28It could be a potato salad.
00:29It could be egg salad, or it could be watermelon.
00:33I don't know.
00:33Something like that.
00:34So I think that is a great, like, because sides are different.
00:37Right.
00:38Okay.
00:38So we're landing on sides to bring to a cookout.
00:41The other question I have, because the answer to this,
00:44if you're bringing something to someone's house, the answer is always beer.
00:49The best thing you can bring is beer.
00:51It's like bringing flowers to a social event.
00:55Sure.
00:55Like, are we saying just food?
00:58No.
00:58Because otherwise, the answer is...
00:59Don't limit it to food.
01:00Yeah.
01:01Let's say your favorite thing to bring to a cookout or barbecue.
01:04It doesn't matter if it's food, size, drinks.
01:06Name them.
01:07All right.
01:08Then I'll go first.
01:09Do bottle rockets and Roman candles count?
01:12Yes.
01:12Fireworks?
01:13Hell yeah.
01:14All right.
01:14I'll go first.
01:15I got three, two, one.
01:17Number three.
01:20Everyone loves these.
01:21I don't know how to make them, but every time they are at an event, they get crushed.
01:28Deviled eggs.
01:29Deviled eggs.
01:30Yes.
01:31Deviled eggs are phenomenal.
01:31I wasn't even thinking about that.
01:33Deviled eggs are phenomenal.
01:35Okay.
01:36Number two.
01:38Just because it's like a running bit at this point.
01:41Zabe, I have like a family recipe for baked beans that are just phenomenal.
01:46Um, I can tell you briefly how I do it.
01:49I go to the grocery store and I buy a gigantic can of baked beans and then I go home
01:54and I
01:55use a can opener and I open them and then I put them in a pot and heat them up.
01:59It's a recipe.
02:00That's my recipe.
02:01And it's great.
02:01Hold on.
02:02I'm writing this down just so I can do this myself.
02:05Brian and Jeff are terrified by my baked beans, but I have baked beans.
02:09The one seed of things to bring to a cookout, barbecue, bar mitzvah, whatever is beer.
02:14Always bring beer.
02:16My number one, the goat of things to bring to a barbecue is beer.
02:20Okay.
02:21I think if you really want to do something kind of zhuzhy, bring some bacon wrapped shrimp.
02:28You don't have to bring a ton, but bring a tray of it.
02:31That's your number three?
02:33Yeah.
02:34Number three.
02:34Number two, cupcakes or cookies.
02:38Don't you think bacon wrapped scallops have kind of become the standard bearer over bacon
02:42wrapped shrimp?
02:43It has, but scallops are cost more money and it's a little bit more delicate of a thing
02:47to put them together with the toothpicks and everything else.
02:50And number one is just a bottle of bourbon.
02:52Can't go wrong.
02:53I know it's not beer.
02:55Beer is more summery, but bourbon always goes well.
02:57You mix that into a cocktail, summer cocktail.
02:59You're going to love that.
03:00And people will just drink it.
03:02Hell yeah.
03:03Hell yeah.
03:04No argument with bourbon.
03:08Stallion.
03:09What are you bringing to the barbecue?
03:11All right.
03:11So my number three is watermelon.
03:13I think everybody loves watermelon.
03:15It's typically a hot weekend.
03:17You're going to need something to kind of cool you down a little bit.
03:19And also just, it's just, it's awesome.
03:21Now, are you like poking a hole and pouring vodka in there?
03:24Are you just bringing good old fashioned watermelon?
03:25We could do that.
03:26We could do that.
03:27Keep the watermelon normal, man.
03:30Don't make the watermelon weird.
03:32The kids are going to be mad.
03:32They can't have nothing.
03:33True.
03:34Yeah, I've never thought of that.
03:35You've got to play to your audience.
03:36If you're going to a family cookout, but if you're just going to like your boys' place.
03:39Like when I was young and lived in Northeast and we would have barbecues in the summer
03:43and there were no kids.
03:45This was like, you know, 25 year olds getting after it.
03:48That might be the prime spot for a vodka watermelon.
03:50We could do that.
03:51And that is certainly something that we could do.
03:53But we'll just go for Everclear if you really want to take it up.
03:56Oh, no.
03:57Moonshot.
03:57Oh, no.
03:58So number three, I've got watermelon.
04:00Okay.
04:01Number two, beer.
04:04Just give me beer.
04:05Yeah.
04:05Any kind of beer.
04:07Whatever you want.
04:07How about a Coors mini ball?
04:09Do they still make the Coors mini ball?
04:11I don't think so.
04:12I have not had that at this point.
04:14You know what I saw in Oregon?
04:15So when you land at Eugene, it's like a three hour drive to Bandon.
04:19But you stop at a liquor store.
04:21Three hours.
04:21You need liquor.
04:22Two and a half, maybe.
04:24They have a keg of Fireball you could buy.
04:26Oh, jeez.
04:27I had never seen that before.
04:29I did not purchase it, but I was like, damn, that's a lot of Fireball.
04:31Too much Fireball right there.
04:33All right.
04:33And then my number one, Hush Puppies.
04:37Hush Puppies.
04:38Hush Puppies.
04:38Hush Puppies.
04:39Hush Puppies.
04:40You know how to make those?
04:41You're going to deep fry those?
04:42I don't know how to make them, personally.
04:44You deep fry them.
04:44So you buy them?
04:45Yeah.
04:46You could buy them.
04:47You can get them catered from a store.
04:48Like, you can do different things.
04:50Hush Puppies, though.
04:51Bringing them to a barbecue, it pairs well with the burgers, the ribs, and it's just a great
04:57thing that everybody loves.
04:58And they're easy to eat standing up.
05:00Pop them.
05:01Like, a lot of times you need, like, barbecue, a lot of times you're standing up.
05:04Maybe there's enough chairs.
05:05Maybe there aren't.
05:06But if you just have, like, a hot dog and Hush Puppies, that is very easy hand food.
05:11Listen.
05:11I never would have thought of that, though.
05:13I think Hush Puppies are great, but it doesn't seem like it's a barbecue thing, because those
05:16are deep fried bread bowls.
05:19That's what they are.
05:20So the really fresh Hush Puppies have to come out of the fryer within a certain number
05:25of minutes.
05:25You can't just keep...
05:26What, are you going to microwave your Hush Puppies?
05:28I mean, you're bringing up a fair point.
05:31Are you thinking of hash browns?
05:33No.
05:33Are you thinking of, what's the other one, not hash browns?
05:37Cornbread?
05:38No.
05:38The alternative to fries, little potato nuggets.
05:42Tater tots.
05:42Tater tots.
05:43Potato nuggets.
05:44No.
05:44No.
05:45I am thinking of Tater tots.
05:46You're thinking of Hush Puppies.
05:48I'm into it.
05:49All right.
05:49Hush Puppies.
05:50That could play at a barbecue, I think.
05:53White Brian.
05:56All right.
05:56At three, I'm putting lemonade, but it could also be vodka lemonade, but I don't know if I'm
06:01allowed both.
06:02Okay.
06:02Sure.
06:03Lemonade works.
06:04People can BYOV.
06:06All right.
06:07Yeah.
06:07So three's lemonade, two corn on the cob.
06:10Ooh.
06:11You can really only eat it during the summer.
06:13All right.
06:14Is it white sweet corn?
06:16Yes.
06:17Or you bring in that...
06:18Nobody wants maize.
06:19We're not trading for beaver pellets or whatever.
06:22Whatever they're grown in Delaware.
06:23Yeah, dude.
06:24White sweet corn.
06:25Done.
06:25Will you even eat mixed yellow and white?
06:28Yeah, but it's not what you're eating in the summer on the cob.
06:31Okay.
06:31You know what I mean?
06:32If I see any yellow on my corn, I'm like, I'm out.
06:35Really?
06:35Hell yeah.
06:36All right.
06:36I own and I love corn season.
06:39Like, true white sweet corn.
06:41I'll eat that all summer alone.
06:43I'll have like four pieces for dinner.
06:44Exactly.
06:45Yeah.
06:45Dinner is done.
06:46Weird thing.
06:47I like to eat my corn cold.
06:49Oh, my God.
06:50That is so weird.
06:51The white corn cold tastes so good.
06:53I'm not...
06:54Like, if it's a corn salad cold, I'm not mad at it.
06:56I'm not throwing it out of bed.
06:57But I like corn on the cob, freshly boiled or however you cook it.
07:02I do it on the grill.
07:04Yeah, it's got to be grilled.
07:05And what's your one seed, White Brian?
07:07A watermelon.
07:08A fresh watermelon, probably from a farmer's market.
07:11Oh, boy.
07:11We already got too much watermelon now because Ryan already brought one.
07:15All right.
07:15We'll put it over there on the table.
07:16We got extra watermelon.
07:18Okay.
07:19We're good.
07:20My name is Jeff.
07:21By the way, you can get...
07:22I'm going to let you know right now I'm not bringing watermelons.
07:24Well, we're all set.
07:25We're going to call you ahead of time going, hey, White Brian and Ryan are bringing the
07:29watermelon.
07:29We're good on that.
07:30You can get Savannah Classics Original Hush Puppies Frozen at Giant, $3.29.
07:36Dang.
07:37Basically nothing.
07:38Basically nothing for a bag.
07:41My number three.
07:43Because Uncle Jeff loved the kids.
07:46This is all combined into one.
07:48Popsicles, ice cream, and candy.
07:49I always bring one.
07:51Popsicles, ice cream, and candy.
07:53Yes.
07:54Because all the kids don't eat popsicles.
07:56All of them don't eat ice cream.
07:58Some...
07:58I got a weird cousin that just eats candy.
08:00He don't eat anything cold.
08:02Says it hurts his teeth.
08:03I like it.
08:03And I turn my nephews, nieces, and little cousins up because I can send them home.
08:08I like it.
08:09Number two.
08:10My number two, especially since I can eat them now, crabs.
08:15When I was younger, I used to love tearing crabs up at the cookout while the music playing.
08:20My family was drinking beer.
08:21I was drinking ginger ale.
08:23But crabs...
08:23You just didn't know yet.
08:25Yeah, I just didn't know yet.
08:27And then my number one, the ribs got to come.
08:29And I got to cook them.
08:30I'm cooking the ribs.
08:32Shout out to my boy Donnie at Gouders.
08:33He taught me a little method.
08:36So now my ribs like that.
08:38But I always bring the ribs.
08:40Oh, man.
08:41Can I give an honorable mention?
08:42Because I forgot.
08:42It just came to me.
08:43I always make the jerk chicken.
08:45I'm always bringing the jerk chicken.
08:48Spicy.
08:49Got to be spicy.
08:50Strong.
08:51Just so you know, you're very generous, Jeff.
08:54Currently, a dozen heavy male blue crabs are running about $89 a dozen.
09:01A dozen?
09:02A dozen?
09:02Yeah, crabs are...
09:03Now, you're going to have to shop around for a better price than that.
09:05I know.
09:06You go to Captain White's, you can get you a dozen for about, like, depending on what you
09:10get.
09:10Yeah.
09:11Yeah, depending on what you get.
09:12I get mediums.
09:13Taking your calls on what's the best food, best thing to bring to a Memorial Day barbecue
09:19when we return.
09:20Talking Dewey Beach hotel rooms.
09:22There is serious controversy.
09:23One o'clock.
