Best Barbecue for Your Summertime Grill

Summer is the perfect time for grilling, and the Fourth of July is practically synonymous with barbecues.

Best Barbecue for Your Summertime Grill

The truth is that in terms of ease, speed and intensity of flavor-nothing can rival grilling. It is the oldest, most widespread and most forgiving method of cooking. Over the centuries, there have been countless refinements to the process of cooking food over fire-from grills and grates to rotisseries and turnspits to gas grills and infrared burners. These refinements have enabled us to cook an ever-wider repertoire of ingredients on the grill, but the basic principles remain the same, as does the primal pleasure of fire-cooked food. This summer-and beyond-enjoy a wealth of grilled options, from the classic hamburger to vegetables and breads to seafood, lamb and more. 

01

Steaks From Hell

JUAREZ, MEXICO

This recipe comes from an unassuming steakhouse called Mitla; mitla is the Nahuatl Indian word for hell (literally the place of the dead or the underworld). Mitla's steaks owe their extraordinary flavor to the fact that they're cooked over blazing mesquite logs. You can approximate the flavor by tossing mesquite chips or chunks on the grill.

02 

Memphis-Style Ribs 

MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE

The pork rib is one of the most perfect morsels ever to occupy a grill. I've always been partial to Memphis-style ribs. Memphians don't mess around with a lot of sugary sauces. Instead, they favor dry rubs-full-flavored mixtures of paprika, black pepper and cayenne, with just a touch of brown sugar for sweetness.

03 

Great American Hamburger 

NEW HAVEN, CONNECTICUT

It is a well-known fact across the globe that the North Korean regime is irrational and unpredictable, but we have been consistent in strengthening our defense posture against the threat from North Korea since the Korean War, and I believe that their conventional capability is much inferior to that of the Korean military.
