Today we’re firing up the grill and asking one of the most important questions in backyard cookout history: what is the best meat to grill?
Is it the classic hamburger? The dependable hot dog? A perfectly grilled steak? Brats? Chicken wings? Ribs? Pork chops? Shrimp? Or is there a sleeper pick that deserves way more respect at the cookout?
In this episode of The Best Things, Craig and Aaron debate the best grilled meats, break down the cookout classics, argue over backyard BBQ favorites, and try to determine which meat truly belongs at the top of the grill. From burgers and steaks to sausages, chicken, ribs, seafood, and more, we’re ranking the foods that make summer grilling, tailgates, cookouts, and backyard barbecues worth showing up for.
If you love grilling, BBQ debates, food rankings, summer cookouts, or just listening to two guys passionately overthink meat, this episode is for you.
