Recipe of the Month: The MVP Guide to Grilling
August 17, 2016 Outdoor LivingIt’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!
