by Megan Johnson McCullough Fresh off the grill in the backyard, at a summer cookout, while camping, hanging out at the beach, or at a baseball game, the classic hamburger or hotdog question arises. Most of us have a favorite and are on autopilot when the choice presents itself. These two items make BBQ season a year-round occasion.
