Grilling Fun in the Sun

Warm summer days are the perfect time to clean up the grill, dust off the tongs, stir up your favorite marinade and prepare a delicious meal on the grill. But, with the current economic conditions, fewer people are choosing to toss steak and burgers into their shopping carts, right? Wrong.

According to a recent survey conducted by IPSOS Public Affairs for the Beef Checkoff Program, Americans aren’t willing to cut costs this summer when it comes to grilling beef. Seventy-four percent of Americans plan to grill more this summer than in the past. Why, you ask? Families are spending less time eating out at restaurants and more time grilling healthy, lean beef at home.
