It’s Memorial Day! In other words, it’s time to BBQ! Memorial Day, July 4th and Labor Day are the three most popular days for BBQing in the U.S. July 4th is the most popular, followed by Memorial Day then Labor Day.
And what about the food? The most popular Memorial Day food prepared on the grill is burgers, followed by steak, hot dogs and chicken. For sides, grilled corn is most popular, followed by potatoes and other veggies.

BBQ was yesterday. Today is for remembrance of the Heroes that gave all.
We BBQ’d yesterday with friends. Today we relax and remember…and eat leftover BBQ!
No, we are stranded in Oregon, waiting for nearly a month for GEICO to authorize repairs and don’t have the will to barbeque. Every day is a cookout now.
Voted no. But we gave some ribs hell on Saturday.
I responded no, but now you all are making me crave some. I have always had burgers on Memorial Day.
Not in the rain. Maybe next weekend when all kids can be outside and no rain.
Memorial Day weekend is for remembering those who fought and supported our USA freedom, gratitude, gratefulness and I will celebrate on Memorial day bbqing Costco lamb chops!!
We’re having a low country boil. By the way, down South, barbecue is a food, not an event. We eat barbecue, we don’t invite people to one. We call it a cookout. LOL
I marked “no” because we grill, not BBQ our food.
Exactly!
My Darling Wife decided to do a rack of baby back ribs in the toaster oven. I volunteered to do them on the grill, but she offered that I would need a blood transfusion from all the mosquito bites … (With all the rain we’ve been having, you don’t want any exposed skin outside, here in Southeast Louisiana. New Orleans TV weatherman reported over 42 inches of rain since the first of 2021!)
Taking the wife out to a Korean BBQ place for dinner tonight. It’s the least I could do after two decades of dragging her around the planet while I was on active duty.
Jeff, thanks for your two decades of service
We grilled hamburgers yesterday with family, today is for remembering those who gave their lives for their country and our freedom.
Bought some yesterday when we had just eaten something else. We’ll be having that takeout in a new RV park tonight, after driving all day to get to it!
It’s pouring rain!
It’s raining … again!
Sorry, Linda. It’s 80 in Seattle – you know, the Rainy City? 😆 —Diane
