In this week’s challenge, Sarah and Amy go head-to-head in a little mano y mano combat over grilled sides. Why, you ask? Because meat doesn’t own the grill anymore (vegetarians, vegans and just plain veggie-lovers rejoice!).

From grilled french toast and artichoke hearts to whole ears of corn (even pound cake, believe it or not), you can make an entire meal over hot coals — or propane, as the case may be. And we’re pretty sure you’ll find something here to make your mouth water.

So read on and see what we’re serving up for grilled sides — with a side of smack talk! Then, try the recipes on for size and head to our Facebook page … because you, dear Eater, will decide who wins this week’s food competition. Game on!
