Next time you find yourself in front of the grill, try the following simple tactics to increase the flavors of your meat (and fish):1. Soak wooden skewers in white wine before using them.
We all know that we should soak wooden skewers in water for at least ten minutes before putting meat through them and placing them on the grill. This prevents the skewers from burning. I suggest that you also soak these skewers in white wine for approximately 30 minutes. It's sure to add some sophisticated flavor.
2. Wrap a garlic bulb in foil and place it on the grill.
After your meat is ready, remove it from the grill along with the garlic bulb covered in foil. Take the garlic bulb out of the foil and remove the cloves carefully. Rub each garlic clove over the meat. This softens the meat and adds zesty flavor.
3. Squeeze lemons and limes over the meat (or fish) as it grills.
Squeeze fresh lemons or limes over your meat or fish. Alternatively, you can cut them into slices and grill them next to the meat. Then, squeeze the grilled slices over the meat. Personally, I prefer the latter method, because the heat brings out more citrus flavor, which just gives your meat or fish that extra zing that'll make you want seconds.

Surprised but not shocked said...
I was trying to comment on the complaints servers have about customers. One person said that when we finish our meal to get out, that he/she was getting taxed for the food served and essentially paying for our food as well. I would have to find another career. Especially if I was a mother. Sounds like this server is getting a bad deal before the customer even gets there.
