Chicago native Dakari Akorede knows his way around a grill. The Allrecipes Allstar and middle school culinary instructor has been absorbing the lessons of his foodie family from a young age, and he applies the skills he’s learned from Chicago to Atlanta to New Orleans for his private chef clients (his first gig at the grill was for… wait for it… a crowd of 600!). We caught up with Akorede to talk about grilling essentials and to get some tips for keeping backyard barbecue crowds happy while commanding the grill.

Frankly, there's never a bad time for a hot dog. And that means that you should keep a few packs in stock that can be thrown on the grates or roasted around a campfire at a moment's notice. Even if you don't have a way to cook up a few franks outdoors, you can still enjoy a charred brat by using your oven's broiler or air fryer, as long as you monitor the hot dog's progress carefully.

It may be Florida, but the guests are arriving dressed like they’re headed to Hawai‘i—in colorful shirts, flowy dresses, and linen—and Allrecipes Allstar Diana Bishop is here for it.

Family reunions seem to have been around forever, but are they still a thing? This is what we asked the Allrecipes Allstars, and the answer came back–happily–a resounding yes. From responses that ranged from cookouts galore to four-generation picnics, these gatherings center around fellowship, laughter, and of course, food. Allstar Linda C says that it’s not a family gathering without her Mom's party eggs, aka deviled eggs. Judy C says that the food at her family reunions is determined by which side of the family is hosting. "Everything is always homemade, but on my Italian side, it is the sauce, meatballs, cheese ravioli, crusty bread, and biscottis, while on my Ukrainian side, it is stuffed cabbage, pierogies, and baked ham," she says.

Guests gather around the grill and mill about outside at most backyard barbecues. If the host is running back and forth to the kitchen preparing and serving sides, they miss out on the best parts of the party.

This summer my goal is to make burgers just like Allrecipes Allstar Bri Evans. She has all the tips you could possibly need, including one secret ingredient she learned about from a friend at church. “I mentioned to a friend that I had a pound of beef thawed at home, but was considering buying more so I could make meatloaf,” Evans says. “She suggested adding some minced carrot to stretch the meat.” After giving this trick a try for meatloaf, Evans found it works equally well in a variety of ground beef recipes. “Burgers, tacos, meatballs–the options really are endless,” she says.
