From Our Friends: Memorial Day Edition

Memorial Day weekend is upon us! Just thinking about it evokes images of outdoor grilling, cold drinks, friends and family, and most of all: Summer! And while this day is most importantly about remembering and commemorating the heroes that gave their lives for their country, the sunny three-day weekend vibe is inescapable. So to give you some ideas for what to throw on the grill and serve to your guests, we have dedicated this week’s From Our Friends to just that. Enjoy.
