Wind is actually the bigger issue. Wind whips around your grill, stealing heat faster than your briquettes can create it. It pushes rain sideways onto your food, snuffs out your flames, and makes maintaining a steady temperature nearly impossible.

Many of the sandwiches we refer to as Italian sandwiches in America are usually not Italian at all. Rather, they are Italian-American creations, developed by immigrants from Italy or their descendants to suit a fast-paced lifestyle in their new country.

Everyone knows what a sandwich is and what they're getting for the most part. If we can execute them with higher-quality ingredients and better techniques throughout the process, then I think it's something we can really shine with.

According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), all ground meat, as well as poultry (even those with longer expiration dates) should be used or frozen within the first 48 hours of coming home from the store. Raw steaks, pork chops, and roasts can go a bit longer, at three to five days.

Gene and Jude's is by far my favorite hot dog in all of Chicagoland. It's the perfect size and snap and I always get it with an orange pop. His usual order was two dogs, mustard, onion, sports peppers, and extra salt on the fries.

Not only is a second life as a salad dressing a far superior fate than the trash can, dips can also catapult what may have been an ordinary salad to new, crave-worthy heights. You can even get a little creative with them. The main thing to consider, however, is consistency. Most dips will need to be thinned out to make them more pourable and dressing-like.

Burgers are meant to be an easy meal, requiring little more than shaping ground beef into patties and cooking them to juicy perfection. While a basic burger always hits the spot, sometimes plain ground beef patties can become lackluster and boring. However, you may have a hard time finding inspiration to jazz up your hamburgers that doesn't require a lot of extra effort.

Across America, cafeteria-style restaurants serve up nostalgia with meals made for comfort. One such establishment has cemented its reputation as an institution in Minnesota, serving meals that have customers coming back for more. Started by Ukrainian-born sausage maker Wasyl Kramarczuk and baker Anna Kramarczuk in 1954, Kramarczuk's Sausage Co. has long offered Eastern European flavors alongside American classics. The original enterprise has blossomed into a deli, bakery, and restaurant.

Fresh polish sausages are made of raw, semi-finely ground pork, sometimes beef or veal, and they are usually seasoned simply, with garlic, marjoram, and pepper. The key factor in considering the optimal cooking method for your kiełbasa is the "raw" part. Throwing fresh Polish sausage straight onto a hot grill is a way to get it to be cooked through to edibility, but it can cause quality-affecting problems, like burst casings or an uneven, charred exterior wrapped around a still-raw center.

It's the dead of winter, but you're still craving food that's been cooked on the grill. That smoky flavor, the crispy, almost-burnt texture, and that signature sizzle just can't be recreated in the kitchen. But let's be honest: Grilling during the winter is a lot different than grilling during the summer. The cold temps mean that it's a lot less pleasant to be standing outside for extended periods of time,
