June is the month of Father’s Day. And what says gourmet cooking better than B-B-Q??? Now that might seem like an oxymoron to you … B-B-Q in the same sentence with “gourmet”, but let me remind you of all the folks in Chicago, Kansas City, Memphis and Raleigh who only consider gourmet food if it IS “b-b-qed”. With that, and those good folks in mind, we present the Father’s Day Gourmet B-B-Q menu! Bon appetite!
