All my favorite recipes for Father’s Day weekend in one place: a hot dog bar, slider station, frozen cocktails, grilled snacks, sides, salads and desserts.

These recipes cover everything a great BBQ needs: smoky mains, grilled sides, cool drinks and sweet treats. I’ve included family favorites, easy crowd-pleasers and classics with a twist — think smash burgers, caramelized-onion everything and my beloved root beer BBQ ribs.
