Memorial Day is this Sunday, marking the unofficial start of summer! With that, there's no better time to talk about some of the foods we enjoy most at a cookout. 

With friends and family, gathering for an outside meal is one of my favorite parts of these warmer months we're just getting into. From holidays like Independence Day to graduation parties and birthdays, a cookout is a great way to feed any number of people. It's especially nice when the guests each bring a little something, whether that's some homemade salad or even just a few two liters of pop. 

I'm not the type to man the grill, but I'm happy to help set up the tables and clean everything afterwards. It's probably best that way. Ideally, you'll find me playing cornhole or something until it's time to chow down.  

So, you bring the paper plates and plastic forks, I'll pick up some buns and condiments; it's my top ten favorite cookout foods!
