In my opinion they go with everything! :sing: But that's just me. I've made them at shows with the DCB Fajitas and that is a huge hit. At my last show (that was over $1000) I made the Grilled Chicken Penne Pasta thing with the margaritas (we made 2 double batches) and everyone loved them. My husband and I like them with the Jerk Chicken Nachos. Any of our mexican type dishes and anything beyond that!

I don't, I just serve it with using the bamboo salad tongs and the juice stays and people just get the stuff they want. I guess you could drain it but since the DCB is so heavy, I'd be afraid of losing everything while trying to drain. Or you could just take it all out and serve it on the bamboo tray or SA platter and leave the juices behind...

The first show I did the fajitas and margaritas was my first $1000+ show. My second show with the same recipe was only $687 BUT had 6 bookings! I'm now afraid to deviate from the menu but I do know it can be expensive for the host as I like to do the pineapple salsa with it and I never get it to be under $15. Great times though with the food and drink!
