Nothing says summer like the smell of something on the grill. This week we're all in on the backyard cookout: a juicy smash burger, two brilliant ways to do chicken, and a vegetarian option so good that even the meat-eaters will be reaching for it. Pull out the tongs, make a pitcher of something cold, and enjoy every minute of it.

Fun Fact: The smash burger technique actually traces back to Oklahoma in the 1920s and '30s, born out of necessity during the Great Depression. Diners started pressing thin slices of onion directly into beef on a hot griddle. It stretched expensive beef further while infusing it with deep, caramelized flavour. What started as a budget fix became one of the most beloved burger styles in the world.
That's all from us this week. Hope it takes some of the "what's for dinner?" guesswork out of your week.
