Host an American night
Two tables: a fried-chicken Sunday, and a brisket afternoon.
An American house does not stack the fryer and the smoker. Mac and cheese can sit with the chicken. Apple pie can close that Sunday. Brisket wants pickles and bread.

Southern fried chicken is the platter. Biscuits. Slaw. Mac and cheese if you want a baked side. Pie after, if anyone saved room.
