Spring Cleaning

It’s Grilling Season

Julia and Bridget fire up the grill with a discussion about their go-to meats—while Julia tries to get the full details on Bridget’s pulled pork recipe. Along the way, they discuss the right (and safe) way to oil your grill, share some strong opinions on baby back ribs, and give plenty of smoky shade.
