BBQ Season

Memorial Day is officially the beginning of BBQ season and I can't wait! Last year I got totally into cedar plank grilling, so I definitely plan on experimenting with that some more.

Tablehopper recently published this link to a pretty interesting history of BBQ. Did you know it supposedly started in the Caribbean?

Along those lines, starting this Sunday, the 27th, the restaurant Front Porch is going to be offering a BBQ special on the first sunday of every month. (not sure why the last Sunday is part of the plan too - maybe it's just the kick-off.)
This info from Tablehopper:
~THE FRONT PORCH~ is going to be open on the first Sundays of every month through September, an all-you-can-eat Caribbean barbecue. The barbecue will go on from noon until sundown, with BBQ jerk steak, chicken, fish, and fresh veggie sides on offer. The price for a “roundtrip ticket” to the West Indies (i.e. all you can eat) is $25, and the price of a one-way ticket (i.e. one plate) is $17.50. There will also be a kid's plate price, and special prices on draft beer and select wine. No reservations necessary, and all the tables will be put together for family-style dining.

Sounds delish to me!
