Grilling Socials Offer Entertaining Twist

Posted

(NAPSA)—More Americans are enjoying the thrill of the grill— and it’s a form of entertaining that most miss when they spend time on theroad. “Grilling with friends is a classic summer pastime, yet this type of casual, festive experience is often missing when you travel,” said David Joachim, celebrity grillmaster and best-selling author of “Mastering the Grill.” To help travelers enjoy the appeal of grilling when they are on the road, Joachim created exclusive recipes for Hyatt Summerfield Suites’ second annual “Summer Grilling Socials.” The socials allow guests to sample freshly grilled cuisine while maintaining that backyard feel by mingling with fellow visitors and hotel associates. The SummerGrilling Socials are an extension of the brands’ awardwinning “More Like Home”program. The socials are held every Wednesday evening through Aug. 27. For guests who can’t participate in the Wednesday night Summer Grilling Socials, the hotel also offers a complimentary grocery shopping service and will deliver ingredients for them to prepare these meals in their suite’s full kitchen or outside on the patio grills. Guests also enjoy a complimentary full-breakfast buffet, offered daily, as well as Evening Socials, which take place Monday through Thursday. The 24-hour Guest Market also offers a variety of easy-to-prepare items. Joachim’s grilling recipes include Bird of Paradise Chicken, Grilled Vegetariana Pizza and Kielbasa on a Stick, as well as the following recipe for Tex-Mex Longhorn Fajitas. @ Tex-Mex Longhorn Fajitas (makes eight servings) Ingredients Grilling Blend: 1 15-ounce can of black beans, rinsed and drained 1 11-ounce can of kernel corn, drained % teaspoon of hot-pepper sauce 1 top round London broil (about 2 lbs.)
