Our first summer-ish holiday to use an excuse to cookout is approaching: Memorial Day. However, we got to lay down some rules for the folks who are new to the cookout menu.

Black folks don’t need too many excuses to “throw sum on the grill” but what’s most important is what food is presented next to the burgers and hot dogs. We expect our typical spread of potato salad, macaroni salad, baked beans and sweet corn on the cob.
With that being said, *peers over glasses* not everybody is blessed with the hands to make potato salad. You feel me? Similar to Thanksgiving, there are some dishes only certain family members are commissioned to make while there are other dishes that are just downright not allowed.
If you need a reminder of what NOT to bring to the cookout this summer, check out these 19 dishes for reference so you don’t get kicked out.
