March Madness on the Grill

Jeremy Stanton clearly can't wait 'til summer to get the grill going. Actually, he's making a pitch for a spot on Bobby Flay's new show Grill It!. Well known in these parts for fantastic pig roasting and his unique brand of apple hooch, it's fun to see him dabble in a little "viral Internet marketing."

I think you local foodies may recognize many of the folks who show up to Jeremy's spring cookout deluxe.

Tim Newman provided the yard and shot the video.

Makes me think of summertime. Georgene has these great weekly potluck cookouts down by the river. With kids and dogs running around, swimming, playing games; parents chatting in the cool shade; and our own pork, beef, and veggies on the grill - it serves as an important reminder of the profound pleasure of growing great food and the community of people who make it possible.

I think Jeremy has inspired me to build a better grill pit for Georgene this season...
