If the grill man is drinking, get your food early.
Any others?

(12,272 posts)1 large Vidalia or sweet onion, peeled and cut into large wedges
2 tablespoons softened butter
1 teaspoon beef bouillon granules (or vegetable bouillon works just fine)
garlic salt and pepper to taste (optional)
Place the onion wedges on a sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil. Dot with butter, then sprinkle with bouillon, garlic salt, and pepper to taste. Fold the aluminum foil into a packet, leaving only a small hole at the top to allow steam to escape.
Place packet on preheated grill, and cook until the onions have softened, and cooked to a deep, rich brown, 45 minutes to 1 hour depending on the temperature of the grill. Stir the onions after the first 30 minutes, or as needed to keep from burning.
These are sooo good.

1 tablespoon butter per Vidalia Onion
1 beef bouillon cube per Vidalia Onion
Pepper to taste
Instructions Prepare a fire in a charcoal grill. Trim a slice from the top of each Vidalia Onion, and peel the Vidalia Onion without cutting off the root end. With a potato peeler, cut a small cone-shaped section from the center of the Vidalia Onion. Cut the Vidalia Onion into quarters from the top down, stopping within a half inch of the root end. Place a bouillon cube in the center, slip slivers of butter in between the sections, and sprinkle with pepper.
Wrap each Vidalia Onion in a double thickness of heavy-duty foil. Place the Vidalia Onions directly onto the hot coals and cook for 45 minutes, turning every so often. Or, bake the foil-wrapped Vidalia Onions in a 350°F oven for about 45 minutes. Serves one onion per person.

(24,461 posts)Less than hit/miss quality. The open pit is there to lure you in. You don't get the succulent goods on the pit, though. You get the dry, sitting-under-a-heat-lamp-for-hours crap for way too much money. Bad form taking the bait-and-switch sideshow route, BBQ joints.
