Well football season has officially started. Woo-hoo! And to kick things off I’m sharing my Killer Beef Kebabs.
I don’t know when or how it happened, but every time there is a get-together, I’m the official griller. And I love it.
And if it’s up to me solely, I much prefer grabbing for the charcoal rather than turning on the gas. To help me along, I prefer Kingsford Charcoal. It’s fast-starting and clean-burning. An important thing if you want the meat to taste like meat and not full of chemicals.
Along with that, since it requires more hands-on grilling than a gas grill. I’m generally surrounded by those waiting to be fed. Which of course allows us to actually have a conversation that runs longer than the commercial breaks. That’s a good thing though, right?
So sure, I love the football season for the games, but I enjoy it more because it’s a vehicle for gatherings that are food-centered. Nothing beats that.
