Grilling Takes The Formality Out Of Entertaining.

Don't Underestimate The Importance Of Having Enough Room To Work. Grilling Is Much More Relaxing When You Are Not Trying To Juggle A Whole Collection Of Plates And Bowls As You Do It. If Your Grill Doesn't Have Enough Workspace - And They Almost Never Do - Set Up A Table Right Next To Your Grill.

I Love The Culture Of Grilling. It Creates An Atmosphere That Is Festive But Casual.

I Think People Are Intimidated By Grilling .. Maybe It's The Flame, Maybe It's The Big Grills, Maybe They've Had Some Bad Childhood Experiences .. But I Think That Grilling Is Actually The Easiest Technique In Cooking.

Nothing Goes Perfectly, Especially When You're Opening A Restaurant.

One Of The Things That Happens In My House On The Holidays Is After Dessert, We Sit Down To A Very Ambitious Men-versus-women Game Of Trivial Pursuit. It's Brutal. And There's A Trophy.
