What Meat to Grill?
Now find out what meat he’d like you to grill for him.
- In the United States, we prize steak, especially rib-eye, for its tenderness, flavor and marbling.
- We find hamburgers, no doubt, the most popular and frequently grilled food. In case you’re looking for some burger inspiration, we recommend you pick up “Hamburger America: A State-by-State Guide to 220 of the Greatest Burger Joints Across the Country, Fourth Edition.” You’ll find inspiration like Kewpee’s famous olive-sauce burger in Lansing, Michigan. And the Original Marcus Hamburgers in Detroit, Michigan, sliced from a fresh-ground rectangle of beef and served in a hotdog bun. You’ll find “Hamburger America”, #1222219, in-store at Bronner’s or can order it by contacting customer service at 800.361.6736 or customerservice@bronners.com.
