The Ultimate Memorial Day Menu (and yes, you can use your griddle)

Memorial Day

Memorial Day already? The media tells us that Mem Day marks the official start of barbecue season.

Obviously, the media isn’t part of this barbecue community, as most have us have been grilling for months already. Hell, most of us grill all year round.

But this first hurrah of summer does give us the opportunity to shine up our grills and smokers, purchase an accessory or two, and maybe add a new outdoor cooker—why not a griddle?—to the grills standing proudly in our backyards already.

And if I sound griddle obsessed, I am, and not just because my latest book is Project Griddle.

Project Griddle

Why Cook Memorial Day on a Griddle?

So what’s the big deal about griddles?

  • Griddles are versatile: use them to cook breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
  • Griddles are big: you can cook an entire meal on the grill, even dessert.
  • Griddles are fast—certainly faster than grills: turn on the gas and you’re griddling in 5 minutes.
  • Griddles are incredibly safe and easy to use: No more flare-ups or grill fires.
  • And griddles can help you make this year’s Memorial Day more memorable than ever.

So here’s my Memorial Day menu. Wishing everyone a happy holiday!
