GrillWorx Goes Where I Go!!

Gotta love a hotel with a sign that tells guests they
can check out BBQ utensils at the front desk!
GrillWorx is a state of mind. Ergo, it exists where I exist! This is good news, as I am in Austin this week!
The clouds parted, and a single
beam of light shown on the
stainless steal grill...
;-}
I was thrilled when I looked out the window of my hotel room last night and saw not one grill, but TWO! Yay! Two gas grills just screaming for me to grill on them!  Seriously. You gotta love a hotel with a sign alerting guests that they can check out BBQ Utensils at the Front Desk. And of course, ever conscious of the safety of the guests, a fire extinguisher right next to that sign!

Yeah...there was wine...the wine goes where I go too!
 Since I don't know where that grill has been, I scrubbed it, but also put all burners on high for a long time to fry any germs that may be present... Enjoying, of course, a glass of cheap wine while I waited! Okay. Honestly it was two glasses. Hey! I had to make sure the grill was sterile!!




So conveniently, my hotel is about two blocks from a Whole Foods. And the Conference hotel is very near an HEB Marketplace. Nice!

So GrillWorx-To-Go (Hill Country Edition) featured a freshly Ground Sirloin Burger of with Bleu Cheese and Seasonings blended into the ground beef... Asparagus Spears tossed in EVOO with S&P (Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Salt & Pepper) and Bi-Colour Corn On The Cob, Grilled in the Husk. 

I had to buy mayo here... so I added a fresh squeezed lime juice, garlic and pepper to make it taste better! Served on a whole wheat bun!

Wine, Gabby Pahinui on Pandora, and delicious eats on the grill... Just like home! ;-}
The finished product: GrillWorx To-Go (Hill Country Edition): Bleu Cheese Burger, with sliced Tomato, Grilled Asparagus; Corn On The Cob; a handful of Cherry Tomatoes and Fresh Spicy Bread & Butter Pickles (my dessert!)  ;-}
