Become a Grill Master with our New Guide to Grilling

If you haven't already broken out your grill from its winter hibernation, what are you waiting for? Summer is finally here!

If you are someone who tends to let others take charge at the grill, this summer is the time to change that. The Chopping Block wants to help you become confident manning the grill so we've put together a free resource, our new Guide to Grilling.

This 39-page downloadable guide is full of our chefs' best grilling tips, videos and recipes. We cover how to grill meat, poultry, seafood, vegetables, pizza, even fruit. In addition, we show you how to prepare and light your grill and go into detail on the differences between charcoal and gas, as well as grilling versus barbecue. We have created a handy temperature guide that you can reference to know when your meat is cooked to the proper temperature as well as creative ideas for vegetarian grilling that don't involve frozen veggie burgers or portabello mushrooms! There are 15 different recipes to try that we're sure will keep you busy all summer long. You'll also get a list of our chefs' list of must-have grilling accessories.

Are you ready to take control of the tongs this summer? Download our Guide to Grilling and check out all of the grilling classes we have coming up in June and July at Lincoln Square. From Grilling Boot Camp to The Argentine Grill to our all-new American BBQ: The Real Deal, these hands-on grilling classes will give you experience working with charcoal and gas as you grill under the Chicago sky or stars on our outdoor grilling patio.
