The long holiday weekend is almost here, and if you are anything like us that means three things: beer, fireworks and grilling. We've already told you where to watch the works if you don't live in Jersey City and you can probably handle the beer part on your own, but what about grilling? Every year somebody has to get the job of buying the beef and manning the grill, and it seems like every other year or so the person with that relatively simple job manages to mess it up. Luckily The Brooklyn Kitchen and The Meat Hook have your back with tips on everything from picking your ground beef to grilling technique.
Mmmmm, freshly ground and grilled burgers. The fourth can't come soon enough.
