Grill Friday!!!

So...here at work, I am part of the Employee Events Committee. We, in part, take on the responsibility of organizing fun employee events, but are told to make it CHEAP. Our company just moved into a new building and purchased some items to help make things feel like home for the newly displaced employees. One of those items was a grill. A big one! This thing claims that you can cook over 3000 hotdogs at once (ok, maybe not 3000, but the cooking surface is at least 5 feet long). Anyway, the EEC decided to have Grill Friday once a month during the summer. What is Grill Friday? Well, once a month, we pull out the grill and ask people to bring food to grill and share 'tailgate style'. Not missing an opportunity to raise a few bucks for our company sponsored charity (this year its South West Kids...a charity to help poor kids in Dallas), we partnered up with the charity group and offered anyone who did not want to bring food an opportunity to donate to the charity.

This was our second grill friday. Last grill friday, we had a great turnout. We raised $60 for our charity (which is good for a small office). There was plenty of leftovers and everyone was stuffed.
From what I remember we grilled:
-Ribeyes
-Sausages (of all kinds)
-Hot links
-Hot dogs
-Kebabs
-Pineapple
-Curry chicken
-Atomic Buffalo Turds (Jalaepenos stuffed with chipotle/raspberry cream cheese and steak...wrapped in bacon...yep I brought those).


This time, it seemed that we had an even bigger turnout. When all was said and done, we had pounds of chicken and sausage left and we counted over $200 for charity. On the menu this time (that I could remember seeing) was:

-Chips and salsa
-Brats
-Pork Ribs
-Indo/pak spiced chicken
-Chicken Kabobs
-Cupcakes
-Hot Links
-Potato Salad
-Corn/veggies
-Bread
-Ribeye Steaks
-Turkey Dogs
-Hot Dogs
-Gourmet Sausages
-Cookies
-Garlic Tri-tip

Me and my boss did most of the cooking. In the end, after everyone had done eating, I rewarded him and me with a USDA Prime rib-eye and honey/brandy glazed peaches.

Good times were had by all!
