Budget: Go for a classic barbecue dish with baby back ribs by Memphis Catering. Memphis rubs the pork with an in-house blend of spices and smokes it over hickory for six hours before serving it with barbecue sauce on the side. For $16 per guest, you can pair the ribs with two side items of your choice, such as baked macaroni salad or the house salad made with baby greens, candied pecans, and sherry wine vinaigrette.
Mid-Price: Picnic prepares buttermilk fried chicken drizzled with honey-mustard sauce and dishes it up with red-andwhite cabbage salad with cilantro and lime dressing, roasted potato salad with applewoodsmoked bacon topped with Dijon vinaigrette, jalapeño corn bread, and freshly squeezed lemonade for $20 per person.
Splurge: Overindulge with Rick Royce Premier BBQ Catering’s “Trio of Meats.” For $55 a head, the company will serve hickory-smoked baby back pork ribs, barbecue chicken, grilled strips of Kobe beef, Caesar salads, grilled vegetables, baked beans, garlic toast, and a peach or cherry cobbler paired with vanillabean ice cream.
