Beef Tenderloin with Artichokes in Bechamel
A grilled tenderloin may seem a little upper crust for a barbecue, but purchasing essentially multiple filet mignon and slicing thinly means gourmet action for a group at a much lower price. Paired with creamy artichokes, you're working with gourmet cuisine at its best. Win-win!

Grilled Corn with Herb Butter
Sweet summer corn becomes a sugary delight when steamed in the husk and then charred off on the grill. Finish it with panache by slathering the golden ears with an herby compound butter, and you'll be eating some of the best corn that you've ever had in your life. Your LIFE!!!

Sonoran Hot Dog
As a hot dog aficiannado and new resident of Arizona, it was only a matter of time until I tucked into my first Sonoran Dog. A serious combination of pinto beans, cheddar, onions and salsa topping a bacon-wrapped hot dog is savory, toothsome and wholly addictive. I'm still questioning how it took so long for the Sonoran Dog and I to become friends.

LMFAO "Hot Dog"
I had to laugh the first time I heard this song because it was as if it had been written for me and only me. The raunch club kids that are LMFAO have put together a bootie shaker that gives daps to street meat, the beloved hot dog. If I had to have grown up in any other era, I'd have been a disco queen. And if I had to eat only one late-night snack for the rest of my life, it'd be a hot dog. Put the two together with some dance steps (the hustle, perhaps?) and you have yours truly in a nutshell. Play this one while you whip up a delectable Sonoran Dog and then work off the calories with your sweetest dance moves. Listen now.
