Dadburger Deluxe

If you had to pick one final burger to have before tucking in your grill for the colder months, this would have to be it. It’s everything a great burger should be — meaty and juicy, saucy and savory…a meat lover’s dream.

Grilled Beer Brat

 

Grilling and beer: Each is amazing on its own, but when you give your brats a nice soak in beer before their turn on the grill, you wind up with a finished product that’s incredibly juicy, flavorful and, well, perfect.

Corky's Memphis-Style Barbecued-Back Ribs

You don’t need to be a professional pit master to rock out some crazy-tasty barbeque. By combining a dry rub and wet moppin’ sauce, and then grilling over wood chips, you’ll pack serious Southern flavor into these ribs. Close your eyes as you take the first bite and you’ll swear you’re celebrating Labor Day in Memphis.

 

Portabella Rosemary Caprese Skewers

 

Not every grilled dish needs to be heavy and meaty. For lighter, vegetarian-friendly fare, grill up some portabella mushrooms and layer with fresh mozzarella, tomato, and balsamic for a fresh new take on the traditional Caprese salad.

 

Grilled Corn

The perfect flavor combination of sweet and smoky make grilled corn a summertime classic. It makes a wonderful add-in for salads but is just as tasty on its own, particularly when dressed up in a coat of flavored butter. 

Grilled Pineapple

 

Sure, pineapples are great on their own, but it’s amazing how the simple act of grilling one can take it to a whole other level of deliciousness. After chowing down on burgers, toss some pineapple wedges on the grill for a quick and healthy dessert sure to please the whole family.
