Hand Over That Grill

PUBLISHED ON: 06.20.2010

I have stated before that my husband is the master of the grill at our household.  But on a rare occasion he will turn over his Weber to friends that are worthy of cooking on his grates.

On a recent weekend we invited over some friends for one of our Sunday potlucks.  My husband’s “BVS” took over the grill and prepared a fabulous meal.
