Steakhouse BBQ:
City Lights American Grill

 

If you are a beef lover, why not throw a Steakhouse BBQ inspired by iconic steakhouse restaurants. And don't worry, there are more meat choices besides beef. Steakhouse restaurants usually have pork and chicken options, so your BBQ party should as well.

How To Use “Flavor Profiles”
To Create The Perfect Cookout Or Barbecue

Here at Superstar Cookout Menus, we believe the key to a fantastic cookout or barbecue is to have food choices that go well together and flavors that compliment each other. And what better way to ensure your cookout is a success than to use well-known, time-tested flavor profiles.

For our purposes, a “flavor profile” is the immediately identifiable combination of flavors that define a specific cuisine. It is how different regional ingredients are put together to create a unique and memorable dining experience.

For example, the idea of “Mexican food” conjures different food images and produces the anticipation of different flavors than if I say “Asian food” or “Cajun food”.

Ideally, creating the perfect cookout menu should be as simple as possible. To simplify the process, we create fictitious restaurants with flavor profiles famous the world over. As a result, each restaurant has a collection of recipes and food choices that makes creating the perfect cookout menu a snap.

Just put together a menu from the same flavor profile “restaurant”, and you are sure to have a memorable cookout or backyard BBQ that keeps your friends and family talking for weeks to come.

Steakhouse BBQ Flavor Profile:
City Lights American Grill

 

Want to have a steakhouse restaurant experience right in your backyard? Simply head to the City Lights American Grill flavor profile. There you will find a collection of recipes chosen to deliver a steakhouse dining experience right in your own home.

Flavor Profile: Classic American, Steakhouse, Chop House

Inspiration: If you are a steak-lover, nothing beats a trip to a great steakhouse worthy of Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack (except maybe making your own steakhouse fare in your own backyard). The classic steakhouse has been around for a long time with good reason and shows a menu that does not have to contain exotic ingredients to be absolutely delicious.

Think perfectly seasoned and cooked steaks, chops and chicken served with side dishes that have stood the test of time.

My take: Seasoned and grilled steaks (of course) with or without flavored butters, as well as chops and chicken served with classic steakhouse sides.
