I grew up with a family that often grilled. The McNeills have an ongoing family tradition of burgers every Saturday night and my stalwart Dad was sometimes stuck in the pouring rain “manning the barb-e.” With the help of Martha Stewart Living‘s June magazine, Conor and I decided that we needed a grill. I’ve been wanting one so I can have the heat outside rather than in and I love grilled food! So our new grill is our early 3rd anniversary gift to each other – we figured there was no point in getting one in the middle of August when the grilling season is halfway done!

That, my friends, is one happy man!
