If you have to pick one thing to know how to do well, learning how to cook bratwurst should be high on that list as far as foods to cook for friends.
Granted, brats aren't a fancy dish but as far as good grilled comfort food goes they can't be beat and they're a perfect choice when you need to feed a ravenous heard of friends and family.
You can also cook up brats in many different ways, so you can experiment to see exactly what you like best as far as grilled or smoked brats.
