What do you cook for company?

Depends on the guests, the season & sometimes the weather. Chicken leg quarters on the grill with grilled red taters is quick & easy. I really like salmon fillets on the grill, with asparagus too. If I want to go slightly fancy, but stay simple, I'll do some bison steaks, nice & rare (bloody for me), maybe with mushrooms in a champagne sauce & gai laan on the side; baked sweet potatoes are a good side too.

When it's colder I like to do stuffed squash (kabocha with sausage is a fav), pretty simple & very tasty, but most people wonder about it when they see it for the 1st time. I've made roast leg of lamb with peas & carrots for a B-day party & I've made fish & chips with slaw for a Friday movie night, for me it's just trying to tailor the meal to the guests & then run with it.
Regards, GF.

Try leg of lamb in the pit with a sweet dry rub, like a Memphis rub. I use cottonwood in the pit for that one. Nice, light side of medium smoke.

I'll add another vote for pizza.
I did about 4 pies in the oven two weeks ago for about 10 people (along with some ABTs of course).
Everyone loves pizza and it's easy enough to make a few with different toppings so everyone is happy
