The Ultimate Summer BBQ Draft — Who Stacked the Best Plate?

We had a blast on the latest episode of Grab’em in the Brisket doing something a little different — a Summer BBQ Meal Draft. Each of us built our dream backyard BBQ plate, and just to keep things spicy, we let the live audience draft a meal too.

Four teams. Three rounds. All summer staples. Now it’s time to find out: who won the draft?

Here’s how the plates turned out:

🔥 Jan’s Pick

• Main: Burger

• Side: Mac & Cheese

• Dessert: Peach Cobbler

Classic and comforting. Jan went full Americana with this one.

🌮 James’ Pick

• Main: Brisket Taco

• Side: Elote (Mexican Street Corn)

• Dessert: S’mores

Smoky, cheesy, fire-pit vibes. James went bold with flavor and fun.

🍖 Jon’s Pick

• Main: Baby Back Ribs

• Side: Potato Salad

• Dessert: Banana Pudding

Southern comfort all day long. Finger-lickin’ and grandma-approved.

🍗 Listeners’ Pick

• Main: Chicken Wings

• Side: Big Mac Pasta Salad

• Dessert: Homemade Ice Cream

Wild card energy — wings, nostalgia salad, and the MVP of summer desserts.
