  1. Let the grilling begin, hubs is excited it'll save on heating costs to cook outside. I just think grilled food tastes better .)

  2. Source: my dad! Just kidding. This is how I grew up on brats. Everyone we knew made them this way. I'm always surprised to find some people don't do it like this. Most German-Americans seem to first boil them in beer and onions and then grill them, so I doubt there is a single "source." 🙂 And the bonus of boiling them in beer? If you forget to thaw them out, you can boil them longer and get them cooked anyway.

  3. Hey my new blogging buddy… I just made these and posted my adaptation on my blog…
