My favorite sandwich/ casual entertaining sandwich/ entree is http://www.food52.com/recipes/13349_flank_steak_on_texas_toast_with_chimichurri You can serve deconstructed with good chips and dip.
You could served the flank steak with these potatoes. I've made both recipes ahead and the best part is you can serve hot, warm or room temp. http://www.food52.com/recipes/4734_spanish_roasted_potato_salad
Alfredo?
pasta is always good. i use to make mack and cheese all the time for my kids and their friends and now that they are all grown up they always ask for Alfredo because it is the mac and cheese for adults.
Ribs are always good--casual and delicious. Some prefer to cook them very slowly over several hours, but my mother uses a recipe that's fast, easy, and, I think, on par with the slowly cooked ones. Rub the ribs a few hours ahead with smoked paprika, salt, pepper, cumin, and coriander and allow to sit until about an hour and a half before you want to serve them. With the oven preheated to 400, roast the ribs in foil until the meat is practically falling off the bone.
Chili? One of the amazing pork recipes on the site? I'm really wanting to try this one -- http://food52.com/recipes/3909_matilda_maple_garlic_pork_shoulder_with_crispy_skin.
I made this one when a group of my girlfriends came over to watch a show one night -- it was easy to put together, fun to eat, and it encouraged "grazing," so to speak.
