It’s almost time to say so long to the summer and embrace fall. And if you are lucky enough to live in a place of endless summer, we welcome you to try these barbecue ideas anytime! Cheers to good food and great friends, on the deck of your awesome pontoon!

The Main Dish

Barbecued chicken is a real crowd-pleaser, and this Food Network recipe from Tyler Florence is going to taste so good in the great outdoors. The brown sugar, bacon, and molasses make an incredible sauce, but the secret ingredient here is the brine. Brining poultry makes it super juicy and delicious; everyone will want to know how you did it. The question is, will you tell them?

Of course, there may not be a more quintessential summer supper than burgers cooked on the grill. If you are equipped with the right tools on your decked-out pontoon, this is a great choice. You can sizzle up a batch of juicy burgers, and let your guests top them any way they like. People love customizing their burgers and challenging friends about who has built the ideal one. This burger recipe calls for jalapeños and avocado, as well as pineapple and bacon in the sauce, causing a real blast of flavor. Whichever way you go, sink your teeth into the last taste of summer vacation on your Benny.
