The Texas BBQ Forum

I am thinking I will invite my in laws for Christmas dinner. Here is the menu I am planning;

Appetizer: Traditional Italian Anti Pasto plate, (prosciutto, salami, pepperoni, cheeses, etc.)

Starter: Split Pea Soup

Main Course: Slow cooked Prime Rib on the Kamado Joe, seasoned with herbs and spices, salt, pepper and garlic, using pecan wood.

Side dish: Garlic roasted potatoes

Dinner Beverage: A couple of bottles of top notch Cabernet's

Desert: Braso Gitano, (traditional Caribbean jam roll)

And Cuban coffee to finish the meal.

Is this good, bad, overkill? First time hosting Christmas in decades, want to do it right!
Thank you all in advance for your comments!!

Sounds like Feasty Festival Food to me fo sho

That’s outstanding- waiting for invitation

Some crusty French bread, a baguette, or dinner rolls would be nice.

Careful feeding your in-laws like that, they might not leave :)

You had me at Prime Rib. Sounds great!!

Thank you for the replies! I feel better about this.
Egghead, thanks for reminding me, duh, have to have some garlic bread with that meal!!!

Sounds like you really like your in laws, or you haven't seen them in a long while. EH is spot on with the addition of a baguette.

way too ambitious for me
champagne.. with orange juice - Mimosas
Bloody Marys - using V8
good Mexican beer
tri-tip indirect to 120 - reverse seared to 135
sauteed mushrooms
garlic mashed potatoes
sauteed mushrooms with wilted spinach
romaine salad w/ vinergarete
serious sliced tomatoes
sweet potato pie with pecan pieces

Dang Capt, you must have hit the in law jackpot. But you could use a EH baguette on your menu as well. And a salt shaker to go with the mexican beer.

Cpt how about I forget the entire ordeal and we just come over to your house for dinner? Sounds phenomenal!! Negra Modelo or XX?
