Chef Joe joins IT2 with some wonderful Memorial Day weekend Bar-B-Que recommendations and a few cookout fashion aspects to provoke your family/friends/neighbors! Even to the high-quality grill jockey! Here are some simple suggestions for taking off that grill for the first time this 12 months – remember the fact that grease can stay for a long time and flare-ups happen.
PRO TIP – Do you want a grilled bun on your brat or burger? Chef Joe gives us an excellent tip for purchasing crispy on the lowest and tender on the top! When you put the bun at the grill, also positioned a moist rag near the buns. The rag will lose moisture via steam and preserve the buns fine and gentle, while the lowest that touches the grates will crisp up!
