Celebrity Chef and TV Personality Jon Ashton Provides Unique Tips to Thrill
the Grill This Summer and Announces a Nationwide Cooking Challenge
Summer time is just around the corner, and that means it’s time to dust off the grill and release your inner-chef! Steaks, hamburgers, chicken and hot dogs consistently top the list of foods that Americans grill most, but fresh vegetables, in particular onions, are premiering on the grill more frequently than ever before. More grillers are experimenting with new foods to enhance variety, flavor and health.
Did you know?
” Grilling and barbecuing have become increasingly popular over the last decade, with the overall industry increasing by 44 percent from 1992 to 2005
” Onions contain generous amounts of Vitamin B6, Vitamin B1, and folic acid
” An onion a day can raise HDL’s (good cholesterol), resulting in lower blood pressure and prevention of blood clots
Now is the perfect time to show off your culinary expertise and to let the world in on that special recipe. From shish kabobs to burgers and everything in between submit your favorite Vidalia Onion recipe for a chance to cook and dine with John Ashton himself!
