It’s Memorial Day! In other words, it’s time to BBQ! (While honoring our fallen heroes, of course, who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect all of our freedoms. We are forever grateful.)
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.
So, what’s on your grill today? Are you having people over to BBQ or are you going somewhere? Maybe you’re BBQing, but just for you and your partner or partner and kid(s).
Please tell us in the poll below, then leave a comment and tell us what you’re having!
Oh, and here are some grilled meat recipes we love, as well as some of our favorite BBQ sauce recipes.

No, but we do display our flag to honor those who gave their lives (absolutely NOT suckers and losers) for our freedoms.
It depends. Since we normally cook out at least one day a week, so it’s very possible.
We do not have plans to have family or friends over though.
If we were at home in our sticks and bricks we would have a family get-together and throw burgers and hot dogs on the grill. My father-in-law was a lifer in the army and we honor his colleagues who lost their lives serving their country. This weekend the two of us are in our RV and we don’t grill, unless it’s a grilled cheese sandwich on our stove. For us, we haven’t found a need to have a Blackstone or similar grill.
Nope. Just a quiet day of remembrance.
No Memorial Day bbq. I’m the only one, family, friends, and others, who is still healthy enough to travel.
In the South, BBQ is a food. We GRILL our burgers, hot dogs, steaks, etc. We don’t barbecue them.
I’m celebrating with just my brother and his wife. We are both retired military and will be honoring our many relatives (who served in the military) who are no longer with us. It will be a day of remembrance.
Just about like the one in. The picture above!
Go USA!
We’re boondocking out where cell towers don’t exist, neighbors don’t exist and roads barely exist and you betcha, we’re gonna grille some burgers in respect to those fallen who can’t.
Here’s wishing a heartfelt Memorial Day to the families whose loved ones have paid the ultimate sacrifice. Gone but not forgotten.
👍💗 Well said, Vince. –Diane
Attended a small community ceremony, parade with high and Jr. high school bands, Boy and Girl Scouts, decorated bicycles, following our war vets. Memorial Day exists to remember those who self-sacrificed (not make it political) in many wars to preserve our freedom.
Later, there’s time for brats, potato salad, burgers, etc. Wife made bacon-wrapped asparagus since it is abundant this time of year. We are truly blessed to live in USA, made possible in part, due to our military.
Yes. Always have from a youngster. My great uncle served WWII, Korean War, Vietnam in the Sea Bees, then as a civilian. Still remember the gatherings. I did my years and where ever stationed gathered and after retirement have always grilled and gathered to celebrate and remember those that have gave so much and that are no longer with us I salute them with honor and thanks
No bbq’s, no grilling no party’s either. I will attend the Local Legion post Memorial Day service – (we lost 10 members this year) and I might also attend the Fargo National Cemetery service; (with 1,000 graves already – only a few years old). I had 3 uncles who served in WWII, 1 a B-29 bombardier, 1, a Tank driver in Sicily and 1 an Army paratrooper. They all made it home – except the tanker, whose tank was hit with a phosphorus shell – leaving him in the personal care of the VA for the rest of his life. He passed away at 80, not knowing a life with family, friends or the meaning of freedom. They were raised in a small Mn town in n. Mn – volunteered for the call to duty! All gone now.
