Nathan's Famous Premium Beef Franks and Heat & Serve Toppers

Summer is officially here and nothing says backyard BBQ like this Tex Mex Dog. First I start with a premium all beef frank from Nathan’s. For over 100 years they have perfected that iconic flavor and now you can get them in your local grocery store. I’ve paired it with these new Heat & Serve Toppers adding the chili and cheese flavors. Then top some sliced jalapenos for a bit of heat. Visit NathansFamous.com to learn more. Make sure to follow Nathan's on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram!

Vision Grills

And I cooked it on Vision Grill’s Large Kamado. It makes your patio the focal point of your backyard and its small footprint, convenience, and its long life, make it the best grill for all of your needs. What I really love about this grill is the Quickchange Gas Insert. Enjoy the ease of gas grilling Monday through Friday, like hamburgers and hot dogs, then enjoy the low-and-slow charcoal cooking of ribs or pork shoulders on the weekends. This is easy grilling, easy smoking, season your meat, set your temp, come back for great food. Make sure you follow Vision Grills on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram!

Cobblestone Bread Co.

Tired of the regular burgers? I created this Teriyaki Turkey Burger with Grilled Onions and Pineapples as a cure to sandwich rut. The combination of grilled pineapple and onions really bring a new level of flavor to the turkey ... and so does the bun! I used Cobblestone Bread. Their restaurant style sesame buns let you bring a gourmet experience home because great sandwiches start with great bread. They also have Kaiser and Toasted Onions varieties!

Capresso Iced Tea Maker

One of my favorite summer drinks is ice tea. Now you can get creative brewing your own with the Capresso Iced Tea Maker. This machine lets you custom brew iced tea into this beautiful sturdy glass pitcher. Simply add fresh fruit like blackberries or peaches or even herbs to the pitcher before brewing. Then you can personalize your brew strength from mild to strong with Capresso’s flavor enhancer. It works with loose tea or tea bags and has a removable water tank for easy filling.
