I was really hoping to come up with something super creative but had to fall back on a twist of a stand by favorite, but I have a decent excuse... I became an Uncle!! My Sister just had a gorgeous little baby girl and today I got to hold my niece for the very first time! Both our boys were beyond excited to gain a little cousin as well

Good times! and then I got to come home and cook up some Burgers which was icing on the cake.
I've made these Portobello burgers before but this time made a few little tweaks...

Mushrooms flashed in the bacon grease - you just cant have enough bacon flavour in a good burger

Why not give the burgers a quick flash as well:

Then moved over to indirect heat with just a small piece of Hickory smoking away:

I've always wanted to test out frozen fries just tossed in a veggie basket so today was the day!

Burgers capped off with cheese and bacon added to top. Buns also toastin' away...

I wasn't a huge fan of the fries cooked this way to be honest... good but not great. My wife loved them however which was a nice surprise!
