Notes
“I’ve spent my whole life in restaurants, so people assume I’m some grill-master foodie. The truth is, I’m just a busy dad looking for the quickest meal my three picky boys won’t reject. The grill gives me flavor, speed, a little alone time, and an excuse to drink a beer. Plus, tacos – finally – a dish without complaints.”
