Check it out after 5 minutes or so.

Wine's ready, veggies ready, salad's ready
Get chicken/fish/beef/whatever off the grill
Serve entree with salad and wine

Voilą!

We eat

Then get ready to have a beer on the deck

With a thick T-bone or something like that, it generally will take me a full 25 minutes, sometimes less, from start to finish. Sometimes I get a good salad in a restaurant, but I'm not fond of iceberg lettuce, nor typical garden salads. Appetizers are different, but unless they have things that are very low carb, I usually pass on them as well.

I have a full rack of baby-backs to prepare soon, I'll time it
Your post reminds me of this joke from the South:

Q: What's a redneck's idea of a seven course meal?

A: A rack of ribs and a six pack of Budweiser.
