Well folks- the season is upon us. I've been grilling up a storm the past couple of weeks and I'm wondering if I've been the only one. There is something amazing about cooking outside- be it a summer kitchen, charcoal or a gas grill. I love the smell of cooking food on the air. For me it's a charcoal grill. I love the ritual of building my mound of coals, setting it ablaze and tending them as I tend to some beers. What are some of your grilling traditions? How do you like to cook outdoors?? Let's here some outdoor eating talk and vote on your favorite grillable food!

My favorite food in all the world is a BBQ'd hamburger with whatever condiments I'm in the mood for at that particular moment... |

My hubby grills peppers and onions in beer when grilling brats. It adds alot flavor.
How about perogies? The whole spiedies thing reminded me of it. (they are nothing alike but I think it was the name that reminded me) Perogies are scrumptious done on the grill!! |

I know what Spiedies are! Family friends that originally lived in Binghamton (he was a cop up there) made them when we had a picnic at their house once. They were quite good! Speaking of regional favorites-you should know these ones Sarge- city chicken and Primanti's sandwiches.

Yes my lovely WW, and they are truly one of 'natures' perfect foods!!! Thank you for the link (and I do not know why I didn't think to look for it myself), since I am planning on ordering some of their 'DIY' marinade kits to satisfy my re-awakened hunger for these tasty treats. Satisfied, at least until Lady Munro and I plan a road trip up to the Binghamton area for the 'real deal'.

OK, Obi. Pay attention, now.
If you look up at my original post, you will see the words "Definition here." If you put your little mousie on those words, you will see that it is a link. If you click on that link, you will be taken to a page in Wikipedia that explains all about them, and even shows a not-very-good photo of a Spiedie sandwich.
Each year, Binghamton hosts The Spiedie Fest and Balloon Rally. This is a really big, fun event that brings hot air balloonists from all over the country. In addition to several launches over the Chenango River from Otsiningo Park, a Spiedie cooking contest is held. Great fun!
Sarge! You have had Spiedies??? HUZZAH!!!
Yes, the Pit is still very much in business. www.spiedieandribpit.com
Btw, Seamus has now had Spiedies, too. Last year, when he and Cpl. Dammer (also of the Augusta Regiment, who was at Plum Borough last fall) came to the Rev War event at Newtown Battlefield, yours truly cooked some chicken Spiedies on the outdoor grill for everyone. They were a hit! |

I voted for burgers but another favorite is salmon on the grill. My husband also does pizzas which are good. Just loved that grilled taste of hot dogs and another family fav is brats especially cheesy brats. So many choices makes me feel hungry. Maybe fire up the grill tonight. |

Being a California boy, I have absolutely no idea what a spiedie is. Someone please enlighten me... |

Steaks for me, done either 'medium' or 'Pittsburgh' (black and blue, to the uninitiated), depending on my tastes that day.

Spiedies!!! OMG, WW!!! I haven't had a Spiedie in over a decade. My favorite was a pork spiedie from the Spiedie & Rib Pit, in your neck-of-the-woods. And during my stay of only a couple of days, I think I ate over a dozen spiedies, and a sampling of their ribs as well, from that wonderful establishment (If they were a public-corp, I would have bought stock!) Is it still on Front Street? And are they still in business?

Great choice! They are very good. I also like the chicken.
Here in the Binghamton area, we are very, very proud of our Regional Specialty! Everyone who visits or passes through should stop at one of several places that serve Spiedies. You won't be sorry.
Yep... we are as proud of our Spiedies as we are of Rod Serling. |

I vote for steaks and next to them on the grill are hobo potatoes! Yum,yum,yum,yum!!!! Dad is the grill master at our place and always makes good dinner! We also enjoy getting together with family friends who have a fire pit and we always give them our extra full sized turkey frozen from Christmas to put on the pit and then after it cooks all day we go over and have a picnic/cookout. That is the softest,juiciest,melt-like-butter way to enjoy turkey!

Who doesn't love a good grill out?! I voted for Brats. For years now, my hubby and I couldn't grill because we lived in an apartment and they have strict laws about having grills and open flames on you're balconies. Anyhow, since moving back in October, one of the first things we bought was a super duper grill! And I have to say, one of the main things we grill out is Brats. Delicious!! |

I voted burgers but now i can't stop thinking about steaks. My favorite meat market has these great 8 ounce filet mignon wrapped with a slice of bacon. So very, very good. Check these guys out- one of my favorite businesses:

Salmon was close - but Tuna steaks are my fav!
And shrimp skewers with my homemade teriyaki sauce... |
