Grill This

If you knew my dad at all, then you know that I was born to BBQ.

For many, the grilling season is already over. But I am like my dad, I am not a fair-weather BBQer. Nope. I will shovel my way to the BBQ and fire it up all winter long. Neither rain..

will keep me from my grill. Cold, however, will. It is mighty hard to cook food when it is -30.

Once I went out to get a tank refilled in the middle of a snow storm and the guy just looked at me with raised eyebrows as if to say “are you crazy, BBQing in this weather?” I informed him that my wife was away for a week, and with a knowing nod he filled the tank without further questions.

Normally it is a nice piece of meat that graces my grill, but on occasion we slip something else onto the flaming grate of goodness.. like pizza.

Talk about a great combination of two things I love.. pizza and BBQ. The only way to make this better would be to combine it with another favorite food group of mine, but I think deep frying pizza on a grill might be going a bit too far.

Best done with a thin crust, grilled pizza is pretty awesome.

Another great food to add to the grilling gourmet menu: Corn.

Just soak that sucker in water for a few minutes and you are ready to grill.
