Memorial Day weekend is the debut of grilling season for much of the country.
I usually keep things super simple when I grill - sausages, skirt steak, ribeye steaks, hamburgers, chicken breasts, etc. - but because I hate wasting heat from those precious ash-covered charcoal briquettes, I usually throw on some kind of side dish: asparagus, broccolini, peppers, sweet potatoes or even thick slices of sourdough, which easily pick up the smokiness of the grill.
