Fire Up the Grill

Many Americans use the coming of summer—unofficially marked by the Memorial Day holiday—as an excuse to indulge in a classic American tradition: grilling and enjoying homemade burgers. But did you know that May is National Hamburger Month? To properly celebrate this indulgent occasion, check out celebrity chef Bobby Flay’s latest offering, Bobby Flay’s Burgers, Fries, and Shakes, for dozens of mouth-watering recipes for Flay’s twists on the American classic. Or to read up on hamburger history, pick up In-N-Out Burger: A Behind-The-Counter Look at the Fast-Food Chain That Breaks All the Rules for the inside story on one of the country’s favorite—and most successful—family-owned burger chains. But whether you decide to grill with Flay’s guidance or educate yourself on the merits of “Animal Style” burgers at In-N-Out, make sure you have at least one burger this month!
