What is your Go to meal for first time guests at your house?

Just what the topic says. If you were having a group of friends over for a dinner party (with multiple younger children running around) what would you be serving? Would you do one meal for all? Or would you do adult meal and kid meal?

Beef fajitas with my famous guac, crock pot queso and quesadillas for the kids

Great question. It's red beans or steak for me, unless I don't want 'em coming back. I have hot dogs for that.

BBQ pulled pork sandwiches, some kind of salad, baked potato casserole and ice cream balls with different toppings.

Depends on the time of year.
Cooler weather, I like to do a duck and oyster gumbo.
Warmer weather, I like to do shrimp and grits.

I don't worry too much about the kids. They eat simple food. Microwave some mac & cheese, blanch a little broccoli, & cut up a hot dog.
For the adults,I just cook more of whatever I was planning on cooking.

A good pork loin or tenderloin works well. To appease kids, sides a good way to go. An adult's side of mac and cheese may well be a kid's meal.

Gumbo or crawfish etouffee. Anything else and my chance of frickups goes up.

Summer or winter? Big difference there in what I'd make.
In the winter I'd probably do Italian and make a bolognese sauce and an aglione sauce and serve them with pici pasta. I also might just make a lasagne bolognese.
In the summer I'd either smoke meat or make something on the outdoor griddle like Philly cheesesteaks. I also make surf and turf tacos with homemade guacamole and salsa fresca for friends.

Uber Eats of the consensus.

I don't think I have a go-to. It more depends on when they're coming over (Fri evening, Sat lunch or evening, Sun lunch), how many are coming and if they're from here.
