Happy Birthday George

[Idahawk]

By Kevin Kolman


Every time I talk about grilling, fire up a grill or eat grilled food, one thing always comes to mind—Weber! George Stephen, the founder of Weber, has allowed many of us to have the greatest gift ever, a Weber grill.  Our Weber grills allow us to create some of the most amazing meals and our own legendary family tales.   George was an amazing man but more importantly, someone who saw great value in family, friends and delicious BBQ. 

George's favorite food to grill was steak and he knew how to do it well!

So today, on his birthday, let's all do something special for the "Grand Father" of BBQ and fire up our Weber grills in memory of him.

How are you going to honor George today?   I'm going to grill a 16 oz. ribeye on one of my old 1960's kettles, have a martini (one of George's favorite drinks), and spend a moment in the backyard thanking him!

George, may you continue to look down on every one of us and be so proud of your "Weber" family members and all the amazing things we grill in your honor!

Now fire up that grill and raise your tongs as we say happy birthday to our backyard hero, George Stephen.

I'll be firing up my new 18.5 yellow for the first time today. 4 1" bone in pork chops are on the menu along with asparagus and roasted garlic mashed potatoes. I'm sure George would be proud. I'll be raising a 12oz malted beverage in his honor.

I won't get to cook tonight, have a function to attend. I do plan on firing up Big Poppa this weekend though.
Happy Birthday George!

I'm going with the 26er.  It's the perfect grill in my opinion.  Sure a RK would be sweet but a 26er is the best of both worlds!

Happy birthday, George! In honor of you, tonight we will dine on loose meat sandwiches (homemade "MAID-RITE"s) cooked on a grill almost exactly like the one in your now infamous picture....









Cheers!

Proudly passing the chimney of glowing coals to the next generation. My son who is coincidentally named Stephen George, has been begging me to dig out our wok which we did this evening on our copper performer. Stephen really liked cooking on it, he said he is sometimes scared of the burning coals, the wok deflects a lot of the raw heat. So from Stephen George to George Stephen, Happy Birthday! Thank you for the memories yet to come.

I did some surf and turf on the old Glen Blue in honor of George Sr.

Just imagine how many millions of memories this crazy little contraption has created over the years... and what a cool legacy!

Cheers to you Mr. Stephen!

Damn. That imperial, and that cook look like it came right out of a magazine. Nice work Matt!
