Let’s fire up the grill!

In my family, the master on the grill is my oldest son. He started taking on the responsibility at the age of eleven. He picked up his barbecue talents immediately and nobody does it better. When it comes to a family cookout, everybody knows their roles. I prepare the food and my son is in charge of the grill. No questions asked.

Wishing everyone a nice celebration, with good food, good drinks, and in company of good friends and family.
