CONTENTS
INTRODUCTION
As I write this, its 10F on Long Island, New York, where I live with my wife and two kids.
Not one green sprig of grass to be found. I cant even see the wood surface of my backyard deck, which is covered in snow. But soon, it will be grilling season, and even those of us in the northeast will be back outside, firing up the grill on warm weekend afternoons. And well do it up bignot just a few burgers on the grill. Im talking steaks, seafood, corn on the cob, and, of course, our favorite restaurant remakes. Its my hope that Americas Most Wanted Recipes At the Grill will liven up your grilling experience, just as it has for my family.
If youve ever wondered how to make grilled dishes from your favorite restaurants, youre in for a treat. Inside, youll find more than 150 copycat recipes from the most popular restaurants in the United States, which you can easily prepare on your home grill. If this is your first book in the Americas Most Wanted Recipes series, welcome! Back in 2003, I founded an online community called RecipeSecrets.net. Since then, with the help of our contributing chefs, weve unlocked the recipes to some of the most popular dishes served at the most popular restaurants around the country. What began as a hobby has grown into a website with more than 1.2 million members. The main thing that keeps us going is the wonderful feedback weve received from thousands of our followers who have saved money by making their favorite restaurant dishes at home.
But besides just the savings, this cookbook will enable you to: Impress your family and friends, and have fun comparing your meals with the restaurant versions. Prepare the recipes to your liking, perhaps making them healthier, because you can control the ingredients and the cooking method, unlike when youre eating out. Enjoy dishes from several different restaurants in one setting. For example, a starter from TGI Fridays, an entre from Outback Steakhouse, and a dessert from The Cheesecake Factory. Challenge yourself in the kitchen by discovering some of the special techniques that go into re-creating some of the most popular dishes in the world. Weve included a special grilling guide to help you become the grill master that your guests will be raving about all year long.
Each recipe in Americas Most Wanted Recipes At the Grill has been tested and tweaked to taste just like the original. We encourage you to use the website guide at the back of the book to find a restaurant near you, then compare the recipes in this book to the restaurant versions. Although we can claim only to offer copycat versions of these famous dishes, I am confident that if you follow the instructions, you wont be able to tell the difference. Get ready to fire up the grill. Bon apptit! Ron Douglas RecipeSecrets.net Find us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/LikeRecipeSecrets
GRILLING GUIDELINES
Grilling is an ancient method of cooking meat and fish by dry heat. The first grills were in the fireplace of the home, where cooking could be controlled by moving the meat closer or farther away from the flame.
