If you have ever met my dad, our co-inventor and co-founder, you know he is a pretty unique individual. He's extremely rational, level-headed, cautious to speak too quickly and very organized. When I was young, if I borrowed something out of his tool bench, it had to return to where it was outlined on the wall.
Now, I'd like to think I'm a lot like my dad in the but he has a Ph.D in the wisdom department, and I am still trying to figure out how to stop from tripping over my tongue most of the time.
One thing I can say I'm pretty good at is grilling. Because I learned from the master. Growing up in New York, then Colorado, you would find him in a parka, hat and gloves bbqing at sub-zero temperatures, beer in hand, loving life. And you know what? That love for smoky, slightly caramelized grilled things is pretty much embedded in my DNA.
So why do women feel ok in the kitchen but not at the grill? I mean, they look like they're having a lot of fun out there with their spatulas and smoke!
When my dad had mastered the tools and tricks of the grill, it became his domain. And because he's a professor, he had to pass the knowledge on. I absorbed the details from my Jedi master and the rest is grilling HERstory.
Check out my
Girls on Grill: BBQ Takeover for the tools and tricks of the trade and take the reigns from dad, hubby or bf this Father's Day...and maybe forever. Once you show him your bacon-wrapped corn, it's game over.
To ally the dads out there, keep blessing your families and the world.
