Grey Cup Party Menu Thead

[GCJenks]

Just wondering what everyone else is planning for their celebration meal and snacks. 
 

I usually smoke some wings but after last year leaning towards mixing it up with some Ribs or possibly a TriTip. Decisions, decisions. 

[HardCoreBlue]

Can’t think of it now, but something to symbolize the recently departed Argos and Lions.

I know, sore winner but am enjoying this while it lasts before the bottom falls out at some point. 
 

No matter the result next week, I will always have fond memories of seeing CK’s sulk face and Betts littler toddler arm swings to reflect on.

Now we need a good chant against Montreal. Montreal sucks doesn’t do it.

What time can you expect us all over at?

My kid has a hockey game that I am supposed to be coaching, right in the middle of the game. Sounds like Covid is on the menu. Feel the tickle in my throat already. *cough cough*

For the past few years, it's been a wild ride with chicken fingers and homemade honey dill sauce, plus any beer rocking the words Blue or Gold! But hey, it might be time to shake things up a bit. This year, I'm thinking of diving into the realm of Fatboy sliders... The excitement is real!

Anyone got the scoop on a top-notch Fatboy chili recipe doppelgänger?

I'm looking forward to contributing to this thread as the week goes on. My wife lives for hosting parties and is a first class chef. We will undoubtedly have a massive spread on next weekend.

Can we make out so anything that pops up for me can be canceled? Can't be too cautious these days.

Yeah same here.

A friend is hosting this year so I'm looking for something to bring that can be pre-made and brought with ne.  Got a couple ideas but looking forward to seeing what pops up here.

My wife reminded me that we have an appointment in the morning that will keep us out of the house until mid afternoon. That eliminates any of the slow smoked options. 
Might have to search for a good price on TriTip, can always leave it running in the sous vide and then just charcoal sear to finish.  
Likely sheet pan of a tater tot street corn medley thing as a side.

 

Hard to say right now, have a b!tch of a work week to get through first.

Whenever we show up

[Rod Black]

I’m surprised this deep into the thread no one has mentioned :

beer, domestic and imported. Rye whiskey, Vodka, Bourbon, Scotch, schnapps, ouzo, boxes of red wine, boxes of White wine, bottles of sparkling white wines for celebrating the Cup victory. A couple of J’s and a craft made “Big Blue” Bong for loose leaf.

Crown Royal (Gimli) and my in-laws home brew for whiskey. We'll have several Manitoba made beers for options, some available for purchase in AB but some that will mysteriously make their way from MB to AB tomorrow....

Jesus, that sounds like a treat! Well done! 

[JuranBoldenRules]

Honestly don't care much about eating if the Bombers are in the game.

If we lost that West Final I'd probably be eating ribs and watching NFL games.

[bustamente]

The menu will be what every Grey Cup menu is Pizza and Beer,

[Mark H.]

The celebration starts TODAY. The breast off a chicken is going into chicken fetucinni. All other pieces are going on the BBQ. Garlic bread, celery/carrot sticks for sides.   1919 & Forty Creek for beverages.

Next week: probably pizza & beer

As it should be. I'm not one for fussy foods, just give me beer and pizza and I'm happy.

We were saying yesterday afternoon that GC Week celebrations would begin at approximately 8:30pm last night and they sure did. We always walk back to Stone Angel after the games for post game pints and to break down the game. Then back to the house to watch the PVR of the game. It was a LATE night last night and slow going today but the celebration will continue through the week. Can't wait to watch the 80s Cup games and then 19 and 21 over th course of the week. I'm going to enjoy every second of this.

[Mark H.]

Had a quiet scotch lost night - & watched the  2019 highlights.

[GCn20]

Montreal smoked meat sounds good to me. Probably eat some and watch some on the big screen at the same time.

Gotta find a brisket today to have it ready.
