1. Make It Hot
Before placing anything on the grill grate, get it hot! You wouldn’t add food to a cold pan, would you? The same principle applies here. This is also how you’ll achieve those sexy grill marks; cold grates leave no marks on cold food.
2. Play With Your Food
Be creative. Don’t be afraid to try something new! Never grilled this or that? Throw it on there. Be willing to fail and you’ll discover some amazing flavor combinations.
3. Foreplay is Key
Have something readily available to pique your guests interests while everyone waits for the sizzling main event. I recommend amping up appetites with dips: easy and fast. Finger foods a good time. Also, I don’t think I even need to mention this one, it seems so obvious, but alcohol is ALWAYS a good idea.
4. Keep it Simple
Cooking outside is about being close to nature! Honor the season, and the pastime, by making the fresh ingredients the star.
5. Revisit Old Moves
Traditional grill go-to’s are just that for a reason: they work! Don’t overlook the many attributes of a good ol’ gooey cheeseburger or a grilled sausage with sauerkraut. Resist the urge to constantly outdo yourself with the next big thing and throw some hot dogs on the grill for a throwback performance. Your guests won’t complain or your money back!
