Going to do to an entire beef tenderloin on the Weber kettle

Stovetop au poivre sauce

Wife will make a fresh salad—romaine, red onion, cucumber, tomato and a vinaigrette

Oven roasted red potatoes with oil and rosemary, salt and pepper

An assortment of fruits for dessert

Just so you know if I went to someone's house and they served that I would think they have zero manners or class and a profound misunderstanding of what it means to be hospitable. An "assortment of fruit" for dessert?? JFC so glad I'm not white.

Now you're just trolling. No. Coffee and sweets. Restrain yourself if sweets are too much for you, but know that when the average guest hears "dessert" and sees fruits or fucking cheese(??!!), they're gonna know your a Joke.

Do a cake for dessert with coffee or a digestif. Or if they are from out of town and you want to spice it up with some local flavor, a pineapple upside down cake or pecan pie.

They’re from like 20 minutes away and nobody eats sugar or carbs or drinks alcohol. I live in a conservative place, my friend. Sugar and alcohol aren’t allowed in these parts. I’ll get the cognac but as long as nobody’s cannonballing it will be okay.

Isn’t Houston the fattest city in the country? Is it all minorities who are obese there? Most whites I’ve met from there are porkers. But it’s a small sample set. In Manhattan, I think I know 1-2 fat guys in my entire group of friends and acquaintances.

Keep it simple - you can actually make this a world class meal. Start off with some nice appetizers and drinks.

Seared scallops with a light lemon butter sauce, top off with some chives and sea salt. Pair this with a crispy mineral-y Chablis or maybe a light champagne

Serve this with a nice charcuterie board with whatever rare artisan cheeses you have access to. I'm talking soft Frenh cheese, Monte Enebro (spanish goat cheese), a spicy gorgonzola - if you really wanted to impress them you could find some langres and pour a little brandy into the divot on top. Get some nice unusual meats like truffle salami or some aged iberico ham. Pair this with a smooth Sherry and a some small pots of honeycomb and fig jam.

For your beef tenderloin - do it herb-crusted (thyme, rosemary, minced garlic. Pair this with a strong full-bodied Cab or a bold AF Barolo to match the beef herbal richness. For your stovetop au poivre sauce add a little balsamic or your finest dijon mustard to add depth.

Get your wife to add some avocado slices, toasted pine nuts and a sprinkle of goat cheese to the salad.

Oven roast those potatoes with rosemary, thyme and lemon zest.

You can offer a light Sauvignon Blanc or a dry rose to palate cleanse.

Scrap the fruits for dessert and instead make a chocolate fondant with a salted caramel core. Like a rich, molten chocolate cake with a flowing salted caramel center which you can serve with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. You'd be wise to pair with this a vintage Port or maybe a late harvest Rieseling.

Have you thought about the playlist?

Finally someone here with actual taste. You can torch the brandy you pour in the fountain of the langres, BTW. Also would recommend a Yquem for dessert.

Everything here is good but this seems like too much effort for a simple meal. I would recommend the charcuterie as it's easy and always a winner, include fruit with that. Love the scallop idea but would make that the main entree with the potatoes to save on time and lighten the meal. Cooking desert is also too much. I would suggest berry sorbet and vanilla ice cream or warmed up brownies with ice cream.
