There are only two articles of fabric we really care about come summertime, bikinis and barbecue aprons. We could sit here and talk bikinis all day, or better yet we could show you pictures of them. We're not going to do that- at least not in this post.

Wait! Don't leave! You can read about bikinis anytime, how often do you get the opportunity to appreciate the apron? It is the forgotten accessory of summer, but it is a vital one.

An apron is a great way to express oneself. It can be covered in beer bottles or kittens, crude jokes or sweet sentiments. The possibilities are endless. The BBQ Guys have a few examples below:

Tip of the day: You are what you eat

Posted May 31st 2008 at 1:23PM by Boydie Beener

Filed under: Style Tip of the Day


Juicy!There is no denying the truth behind the phrase, "You are what you eat." A perfect example is the huge zit you always get after housing a greasy pizza. You can also put a positive spin on the saying and change the way you eat for good.

Summer is the best time to kick start better eating habits for your skin, hair, body, and even your mind. There is so much juicy fruit and yummy grilled chicken around that it's easier to say no to macaroni salad and the ice cream man.

Fashionable food and drink for your Kentucky Derby Party

Posted Apr 18th 2008 at 10:02AM by Kristen Seymour

Filed under: Fashionable Food




A stylish party is one part fabulous atmosphere, one part gorgeous guests, and one part fashionable food and drink -- a Kentucky Derby party is no exception.

First things first -- you can't celebrate the Derby without serving up mint juleps. This is the traditional drink of the Kentucky Derby, made of sugar, water, mint, and bourbon (or variations thereof). Ideally, they should be served in a chilled, silver cup (which are fun gifts for your guests to take home).

Glowing chairs make for great late night barbecues

Posted Jun 5th 2007 at 9:29AM by Jonathon Morgan

Summer is here, which means it's time to move the party outside. As we've discussed, the first step is to get yourself a grill -- but finding the right furniture for your al fresco get together is equally important.

Enter Douglas Homer, and the AfterGlow patio chair. In the daytime, this looks like your everyday Adirondack. But in the dark, the chair has a surprise -- it glows. Not only would this serve the practical purpose of keeping people from crashing into your furniture all night long, it'd be the talk of the party (and would make anyone who sat in it look magic).

As an added bonus, the chair was constructed from 100% post-consumer goods -- high-density polyethylene, to be exact, which means it was more or less made from old milk jugs.

So now you can barbecue 'til the break of dawn -- and look cool doing it.

Barbecue in style

Traeger Pellet BBQ Pig Lil Pig Now that summer is on the way, it's time to start planning all the fantastic outdoor parties you'll throw this season. In order to feed your fabulous guests without rushing off into the house every five minutes, you may want to consider buying a grill.

Before you go crazy and get the first thing that'll cook a hot dog, remember that there are a number of things to consider. For instance, which is better -- gas or charcoal? How much cooking area do you need? What about rotisserie burners, or side burners, or infrared burners? And just what in the hell is a BTU?

The list is almost endless, but -- while discussing the necessity of these features will undoubtedly be useful in determining how much you're willing to pay -- what most people don't consider (but should), is how it looks.

Not to say this pink piggy is going to make the burgers better, but it'll certainly make for better conversation at your next backyard get-together. And sure, if you get a massive outdoor cooking machine with unbridled power (no matter what it looks like), you'll undoubtedly receive compliments and firm slaps on the back from your buddies in the neighborhood. That's nice and all, but if you're into throwing really good parties, the Lil' Pig is your ticket.

For a mere $1599, you'll get 418 square inches of cooking surface, an internal hopper, a stainless steel door handle, a multi-position digital thermostat control, and a fine-looking piece of yard art.

Let the barbecue begin!
