since some of you are no longer on CS I'm cross-posting this one:

For the past 2 years my show demos have pretty much exclusively used the DCB. Now that it's a Host Only item, I still want to use it at my shows as a booking tool but, I also want to feature other (higher-end) products. For the past 2 months I've been making the Deluxe Cheeseburger Salad and cooking the ground beef in the DCB - this has worked really well for boookings and sales - but I'm kinda sick of that as a show recipe and I'm in to repeat guests from show bookings so I need to change it up.

What are y'all making?

I was thinking I could always make a cake as a second recipe, but was hoping to incorporate it in the main demo. ideas?
 
At my first August show so far I made the 10 min pork tenderloin and made the salad variation from the theme show page.So the salad was the main demo and I just happened to cook the pork in the DCB.
 
I have been doing the Chicken Caesar Salad Pizza from the It's good for you and cooking the chicken in the DCB.

The Jerk Chicken Nachos and cooking the chicken in the DCB also works great.
