Take it Outside
Vegetarian mains, next-level burgers, slaws, salads, and sweets...all the recipes you need to kick off grilling season.
I moved to the city last year, you might’ve heard! For those of you worried that this signifies the end of grilling content here on Dinner: A Love Story, fear not. We’ve booked a few weekends out of town so will have regular access to a Weber, not to mention my archive has fourteen summers’ worth of recipes worthy of Barbecue Season, which, country folks tell me, kicks off this weekend. To that end, below is what I think of as my Short List — the recipes I come back to year after year, summer after summer, which never fail to delight and deliver. If you’re grilling out for Memorial Day this weekend (or simply looking for summery dishes that are just meant to be enjoyed on a weathered teak picnic table), you’ll find everything you need to mix and match for a proper feast. Or, if you don’t want to do any think-work at all, you can just download Last Year’s Complete Memorial Day Cookout Menu (includes shopping list) and be done with it. Either way, have a great long weekend…
