Summer weather is finally here, yet the calendar shows that that season is already half over. If you haven't got your BBQ moves figured out yet there's no time to lose. Luckily, help is just a DVD drive away.
The BBQ Boys DVD No Brainer BBQ Basics is available from the boys’ website at www.thebbqboys.com and at selected lower mainland retailers.
Produced by Vancouver-based Full Frame Productions, the DVD offers two and a half hours of simple skills and tips that any guy, from a clueless flipper to a seasoned griller, can put into action on the BBQ. However, this is no boring barbi infomercial, it’s jam-packed full of useful information that is interwoven with a wacky combination of entertaining, irreverent, interactive and downright goofy segments presented at a sizzling pace guaranteed to keep guys laughing while they learn.
The BBQ Boys, Scot McDonald and Craig Harrison, aren’t any fancy schmancy chefs, no way, they’re just a couple of regular guys who love to entertain with BBQ tongs in one hand and a beer in the other. They also understand the deep relationship between a man and his grill and believe that once one masters a few basic barbecue skills, one can reclaim his rightful place to cook at the altar of flames.
So, for those who are pretty lame on the grill, perhaps living in fear of their next family barbeque, dreading hungry people breathing down their neck while expensive steaks shrivel into hard dry pucks, The BBQ Boys No Brainer BBQ Basics is for you.
And let’s cut right to the t-bone ...what’s the point of the whole exercise if not to impress the chicks, right? If you have any lingering doubts that this DVD will enhance your love life, log onto the website and read the testimonies of the Grill Girls, those bikini-clad beauties that exist on the other side of the backyard fence.
Get this down and they’ll be licking their chops for YOU, bro.
