Perfect Barbecue

Hey guys! In this post I'm going to tell you how to host that "Perfect Barbecue"
Just like most things in life it's the little things the end up making the big diffrence. Here are some tips to make it not just fun but rememberable!!

One of the main things of having a good Barbecue is having great weather, even if you scheduled a Barbuecue and it's suppose to rain that day it's better to rescheduled the key word is reschedule! I have been invited to so many Barbecue's when they cancel them and don't reschedule!! It drives me crazy!

Also, a little music never killed anyone, nothing to crazy, or loud but a little backround music is great it's a great way to prevent those awkward silence's.

Another key is great food, great times but as you can tell there's more then just food that makes a Barbecue great!!

Thanks bloggers see you soon! :)

Hey guys, I just remembered that I forgot to introduce myself!

My name is kyle, im currently 22 years old I live in Winnipeg,Manitoba, Canada. I work as a chef for a hotel... I'm trying to make the jump to save up money so one day I can open my own restaurant one day! That would be a dream come true, my favorite part of being a chef is using the grill and cooking meat! Some of my friends even go so far to call me a Meataterian, I love talking about anything related to cooking so if you ever have questions or anything along those lines just leave a comment and dont forget to follow!

See you guys soon :)

Getting Started




Steak is anything better?
Getting a new grill can be a little hectic I totally understand but first things first you got to set that baby up. No matter how frustrating it can be trust me once you get that teryaki steak right off the grill it will be well worth the frustration. Once you have the grill set up make sure it is stable check all the valves and the burners for leaks. Stay tuned for another blog soon and here is a little extra motivation to buy and set up that bbq.
