Recipe of the Month: The MVP Guide to Grilling

August 17, 2016

It’s that time of year where everyone gets together for a football and food frenzy. If you can’t be at the game, aim for the next best thing: watch the game with friends in the comfort of your own outdoor living room. So ditch the truck tailgate and fire up the grill in your backyard for a “pigskin” pregame party.

When establishing your outdoor kitchen, don’t limit yourself to a little charcoal griller out on the driveway. Your outdoor cook space can be fully stocked with every appliance and convenience you need for cooking a backyard football feast. Just think about cooking outside without having to make trips back and forth into the house!

Consider all the elements of a high-function cooking area:

Built-in gas grill
Sideburner
Pizza oven
Drawers and cabinets
Raised bar top and counter space
Sinks
Refrigerator
Ice maker
Wine cooler

… just something to think about!

Now to the game day grub!

How ’bout something to wash it all down?
