At Great Performances, we believe that Life Happens Around Food®. We make that happen with delicious food, warm hospitality, and culinary creativity. At the heart of our creativity are our chefs. In this series, our chefs raise their voices in our Chefs’ Choir ™, sharing their delicious recipes, helpful tips, and inspiration for creating memorable events. We tap into their culinary genius as we plan your special events for business purposes and collaborate on your special event planning for social and entertainment purposes. Whether you need a corporate lunch, a wedding reception, a milestone celebration, or a nonprofit gala, our chefs bring their inspiration and creativity to ensure you have an exceptionally delicious event.
Our chefs come from myriad backgrounds and experiences, but they all share a passion for food and hospitality. We’ve asked them to share their favorite recipes to celebrate Summer – aka barbeque season. They shared a variety of recipes from mains and sides to cocktails. Feel free to mix and match or use them all to create a very GP barbecue!

Bar B Q reminds me of Tandoor ( Tandoor is an Indian clay oven, where charcoal is used ). I am sharing a recipe of Tandoori chicken which is perfect for summer Bar B Q, a Tandoori chicken has various versions and changes in different regions and households of India and everyone has their own secret blend of spices. Here is a recipe which I have modified, which we can use at our home with ease, and we wont need a Tandoor ( Indian Clay Oven ), we can very well cook in our regular ovens.
I’m originally from Colombia, and this is a recipe we use a lot to accompany BBQ. The bright, herby chimichurri is a perfect match for rich meats.

Venue Chef, Rockefeller University
Chef Joe Bachman creates incredible dishes for our guests, and here he shares one of his favorite side dishes for a summer barbecue.
I selected the specific items because they are local and pair well with an outdoor barbecue. I was inspired by Tim Stark’s Book, Heirloom: Notes from an Accidental Tomato Farmer, which is a super cool book and inside look at how the heirloom tomato craze came about.
What’s a Summer barbeque without Pulled Pork? Chef Alan Hepner shares his favorite recipe adapted from Gordon Ramsey’s. He has been making this recipe for years and it never fails. As a special kick, he added his own Pickled Jalapeno Mayo. Enjoy this as is or in a sandwich, alongside your favorite bbq sides.

This Summer cocktail recipe is perfectly crisp, refreshing, and fun. Three simple ingredients make for an easy to make, yet satisfying, cocktail perfect for beating the summer heat.
David Thomas
Chef de Cuisine, The Norm at Brooklyn Museum
This is a pretty simple and straightforward recipe, but it’s a classic that I love and cook for myself every summer. You can prepare this in the morning and let it marinate, and don’t forget to soak your skewers. I hope you enjoy it!
