A T Bone with a HUGE loin.
We just tried Tri Tip for the first time a few weeks ago, cut for shish ka bobs from our butcher. It's a fairly new cut of meat to the Chicago area, and fantastic. I think we'll grill it whole next time and serve it sliced. MMMM.
A good quality filet Mignon is great, too.

Don't eat meat, but I love to grill corn and bananas (seriously, sooooooo good).

Filet Mignon. Garlic and pepper dry rubbed and left to marinate a few hours in olive oil. Its like an orgasm in my mouth.
I also love to toss swordfish on the grill. Lemon juice and pepper.

This is a tough question lol. I always love a nice burger on the grill though, maybe some hotdogs too ^_^
07/30/2011
that is a hard one to answer. I like chicken, beef, and pork. I guess a newyork cut for beef. Pork chops for the pork. And chicken thighs.

I'm not a big beef eater - a plain cooked steak often makes me want to gag. I love my lamb (except lamb chops) and chicken.

Filets. It is rare that we eat red meat, but about once every six weeks we all really enjoy a fantastic steak.

Unfortunately, we cannot afford filet mignon right now, but that would be our top choice for beef, and if I can't have what I really want most when it comes to beef, I'd prefer to just skip it altogether and go for something healthier. I would also prefer to buy premium aged and organic (hormone- and antibiotic-free) filets from a local gourmet grocer or from a top quality butcher shop.
In the meantime, though, we absolutely love fresh salmon fillets cooked skin side down on the grill. We simply brush it lightly with olive oil, sprinkle it with a small amount of Kosher salt, grind some fresh black peppercorns over it, and then toss it on the grill. It may sound "meh" until you try it, but believe me, it is incredibly delicious and decadently rich tasting! With the omega fatty acids that benefit the cardiovascular system and the brain, it is also healthy--and, to boot, it is easy to prepare. You can't beat that.

I'm not huge on grilled food all the time, mostly because I am lame and don't like eating the charred parts most of the time. If something is cooked so that the char marks are only visible and not tasteable then I'll eat it. And most of the time, I prefer a good old fashioned burger on my grill.

for me nothing beats a brisket that's been smoked all day since early morning with a great dry rub followed by a killer mop sauce.

As long as the meat is cook well, any cut can be great on the grill. Even beef tips can be cooked well on skewers or kabobs.
I actually like to cook skinless chicken legs on the grill. Parboil them to get to the minimum level for safety and then cook auf dem Grill. I love that layer of red from the coals on the meat...so good!
When it comes to smoking though, gotta love a good brisket. I'm actually not a great fan of cooking lean meat on the grill. It's harder to avoid drying it out.

I think the new interest in Tri Tip in our area has both African American and Latino roots. AA for grilling and Latino for (I'm going to kill this word) Carnitas. I can't believe we never had it before. It's huge in LA and other places. But, its kind of cool to suddenly find something new you haven't had access to before.
Chicago is famous for SAH-SIDGE! I'm not a fan, personally. (That makes me a bad Chicagoan.) That and because I put ketchup on my hot dogs.
