The best BBQ lunch | Fun for the kids too

Spring break is upon us. The lucky ones get to go on an awesome trip while the others go skiing for their last time of the season. If you’re like me, your spring break budget has unfortunately already been spent on a brand new smoker. Since when do we go to Disney Land to eat a tender and juicy brisket? We don’t. But we do get an awesome BBQ lunch in this article, so cheer up.
