• Midsummer Grill Check

  

  Trying to get the most out of my new Weber Spirit E-210 as the warmth has finally settled in around Chicago. A couple recent meals: My cousin – and staunch Jose Abreu supporter (BTW- how cool was Abreu’s strong statement at All-Star Game media day about how badly he wants to stay with the White Sox? …

• Grilling Between Storms

  It’s been difficult to break in my new Weber Spirit II E-210 propane grill with the nonstop rainfall in Chicago.  Monday was no different, weather-wise.  Finally a window opened up around 7pm and it stayed clear into the night.  I hopped in the car and bought a $16 porterhouse from Mariano’s.  Picked up some green…

• My Lovely Neighbors Went to the AFC Championship Game & Brought Me Home KC BBQ

  I’m extremely fond of my neighbors, Moses & Maria.  My dog, Hank, loves visiting ’em upstairs.  They’ve always got a meaty meal for him or a new chew toy.  They even take him on camping trips, which Hank absolutely lives for.  He tries to hop in Mo’s truck any time the garage door is open. …

• Weiner Wednesday DIY: Chili Dogs Via Costco in St. Charles

  

  My sister and brother-in-law know Costco is the sneaky good place to get quality meats.  This is chili made with strip steaks acquired at the Costco on Randall Rd.  Steak chili: Throw it on a dog covered with toppings, a BBQ pork sandwich and a salad smothered in ranch.  Stella Artois, too.  Satisfaction guaranteed.
