We always have fun at Brookline. It’s one of the best organized competitions we attend each year. This year the grilling categories were pizza, shrimp, steak and dessert. We have yet to master pizza on the grill. It’s always a little over done. Chuck made a steak and caramelized onion pizza. It made a great dinner. Cris is a master at shrimp and made a coconut shrimp this time. I made a brown-butter basted ribeye with blue cheese. I’m not very good at steak at home, but this was a perfect medium rare. I garnished it with grilled potatoes. I thought it was awesome. It came in 5th place. We tried the chimichangas again for dessert, but this time they didn’t perform, although they were lovely.

I tried my ginger hot wings this time. I knew it was a risk with the New England judge’s palate, but my hot wing sauce is awesome. It proved too spicy, I fear. Cris’s ribs came in 5th place, thought! Hurray!
This was David’s first try at the Kids Q. The category was burgers. He created a Moroccan lamb burger based off of a lamb meatball recipe he’s had before. He even made his own pita bread and tomato chutney. The burger came in 5th place! He was thrilled.
