He won't be the one preparing the barbeque, but he would be eating the sauce. As a matter of fact, I'll be traveling up to see him this weekend with three racks of ribs smoked and ready to be finished on his electric grill. His domain is on the grill where he prepares a perfectly cooked steak everytime. He does it all by eye, and he taught me what I know. I'm trying to pay him back by feeding him good eats off my Egg.

He's not much of a griller, but he raised my sister and I as a single dad, which required basic cooking (and food planning) skills that are usually the responsibility of the mother. His specialties were beanie-weenies, spaghetti, Kid Cuisines, sandwiches, soup, mac-n-cheese, and (the infamous) mac-n-peas. I would be remiss if I didn't mention the time in 2003 that Tricia and I were helping him clean out his cupboard and we found a tub of Crisco shortening. We were shocked that he owned a product used commonly by serious bakers. We asked where, and when, it came from. We looked for an expiration date, but could not find one (possibly because it was sold before expiration dates were widely used?). The shortening looked fine and perfectly usable...but we were about to throw it away when we saw a contest on the label. The deadline for entry into the contest was January 1, 1984. If my Dad does win, I will make the sauce and use it to make a meal for him...he always appreciates someone else cooking for him! Love you Dad! I’m nominating my Dad, Robert.

Ever since I was kid my dad has tought me how to use a grill and a smoker. When I was a kid I remember him coming home and starting the grill and cooking either hamburgers, chicken breasts or pork chops several nights a week. On big holidays he would fire up the smoker and smoke turkeys, beef ribs, pork ribs even sausage. He still has that smoker and he's been smoking meat on for atleast 25 years now, you can't buy flavor like that at the hardware store! He's a great dad and I thank him for showing me the way around a grill and smoker, I'm 25 now and carry on the traditions that he set forth when I was a kid.

He dominates everything from steaks to chicken to fish to pork to veggies. He laughs at me when I offer to sear something in the pan like tuna or a tenderloin because he feels that it should only be done on a grill. Grilling for him is the ultimate in peace and happiness. There is nothing like a scotch and a spatula to him. It gives him the chance to sit down and relax after a long day on his feet at the office. He is always accompanied by his three dogs that continually drop a tennis ball at his feet for him to toss while he grills. When my dad grills something that requires a sauce, he likes to make his from scratch. I think another sauce made from scratch in his arsenal would be the perfect add on to the gift of the grill that my brother and I got him for father's day. Side note: To anyone that wins, that Liquid Smoke stuff is strong. Be careful that you follow the recipe exactly and don't include too much of that stuff. Your taste buds will be ripped off of your tongue. My dad, Bob, is the ultimate grillmaster. He dominates everything from steaks to chicken to fish to pork to veggies.

I nominate my dad for letting my brother and I have free reign to experiment. For him, summer means getting some sweet NJ corn, grilled, buttered, salted. Great work Jimmy. Cool giveaway.

He loves to grill and does it well! He is one of those dads that will feed all your friends and be happy about it! There's always plenty of meat in the freezer for those moments!
