Playing: Summer Grilling Extravaganza
From: WFIU

Summer_grilling_small We're heading outside to the grill to enjoy the warm temperatures and bright sunshine for Earth Eats Grilling Extravaganza.

Chef Daniel Orr will be preparing the feast, which will include a traditional French side dish with peas and bacon, Mexican grilled corn, and a Caribbean-inspired coleslaw. He’ll give you tips for how to best work a grill to get the tastiest results while cooking some duck, pork, and lamb.

To drink, we have three kid-friendly beverages that use fresh herbs picked right from the garden. And, the sweet ending to our meal will be a rhubarb and strawberry tart. Summer grilling doesn’t get much more local and seasonal than this!
