8. Tossed salad

It’s the bare minimum for a vegan-friendly function, but make sure you grab this straight out of the fridge. No one wants limp lettuce leaves and hot-ass cucumber and tomato slices that have been sitting in the sun all damn day.

7. Grilled corn

Push those spareribs aside — with the right degree of char, corn on a grill is like music to your ears. Just be careful with that powdered cheese around your dark-colored T-shirt, fam.

6. Cornbread

Ain’t nothin’ wrong with that! An unsung hero, cornbread lives in that delicious middle ground between dry-ass biscuit and full-blown pound cake. When that subtle sweetness hits just right (with a slab of butter!), this role-player can easily slide up into the top three.

5. Deviled eggs

The devil is a lie. Deviled eggs, however, are the truth.

4. Barbecue baked beans
