We are so super excited to launch our up-and-coming sister site, GrillingAddiction.com, that we just have to give you a visual taste of what’s in store. Introducing the Grilling Addiction logo.

For us, it started as a love for grilling over hot coals in our trusty Weber grills with a cold beer in hand. Now, it’s an addiction. Grilling has not just become a past time or a means of preparing that which we need to survive. It’s become our life.

We want to know every tip, trick and recipe for every meat, fruit and vegetable that could possibly come in contact with a grate. And, we want to share our experiences with you through GrillingAddiction.com

The final design took a couple weeks to finish off and is vastly different than some of the first concepts. We originally went down a road of traditional western-style typefaces and used visuals such as flames and wood grain. Although nice, the designs didn’t pertain to the feel we wanted the site to have — something lighter with more modern lines and easy on the eyes.

Thanks to everyone who participated in Grill-A-Thon IV in Fargo, ND! The weather sure was cold but we had a great time. We had everthing on the grill from bison to lobster to peppers, mushrooms, and eggs. Kudos to Joe Riley’s “Tri-Pork!” His pork-wrapped stuffed pork invention turned out pretty amazing!

Since this Grill-A-Thon took place tailgating at an NDSU football game we had to adjust our setup a little bit. The Fargodome doesn’t allow anyone to enter the lot until 1PM for a 6PM game, but that didn’t stop the grillin’ to begin sooner! We mounted a couple grills in the back of my pickup so we could get in line in the early morning and grill while we waited to get in. That way we could keep on cookin’ as we inched our way into the lot. Zip zing!

Also, if anyone has pictures of the event you can upoad them to my MobileMe Gallery!

It’s almost here! That’s right, people. Grill-A-Thon IV!

Come one, come all to the latest and greatest in grilling adventures! The weather will be cold but the coals will be hot at 8am this Saturday in Fargo, ND. If you’re in town be sure to stop by the Fargodome and look for the Grill-A-Thon crew. That’s right, it’s an NDSU vs. SDSU tailgating extravaganza!

All you need to bring is your appetite, but if you’re really ambitious bring whatever food you’d like and throw it on the grill. There’s no rules except having a great time with great people. The best part… It’s free! Well, that’s the second best part. The best part is the food! Donations will be accepted.

If you’re not familiar with Grill-A-Thon, it’s about time you get acquainted. What started as a day with friends huddled around a charcoal grill is growing into an event you don’t want to miss. Basically, it’s an excuse for us to try new recipes and learn new techniques from each other as we try to grill the best food you’ve ever had. We’re not professionals, just hobbyists, so you’re welcome to bring your skills to the table!

Got an appetite? Bring it. Got food? Bring it. Got a grill? Bring it.

It’s a BYOB event as well. Also, be sure to bring cups! Gosh forbid the local authorities see your beverage’s actual container, because keeping that hidden happens to be more important than reducing trash and saving the environment. America!

Let the grillin’ begin!

We’re gearing up to launch the official Grill-A-Thon website within the next few months! The site will be a great source for event information as well as grilling tips and tricks. Once underway, we’ve got plans for even more grilling fun with all kinds of merchandise and podcasts. Stay tuned!

Check out the preview here.

If you know me, you know I love to grill. And who love to grill just as much as I do? Well, a lot of people, but mostly my friends and family! So, this year we’ve created a seasonal event dubbed Grill-A-Thon. The idea is simple. Wake up and start grillin’ and keep on truckin’ until you literally can’t stand anymore. We gather as many grills as we can find and get as many chefs and eaters as we can to take part of this little spectacle.

Grill-A-Thon was created as a time to get together with friends and learn from each other tips, tricks, and recipes. You can come and cook, or just enjoy the food. There’s really no rules at all.

What would an awesome event be without a little design for desert? That’s why I created this logo for us and am currently working on a website and some merchandise. I figured I’d through the design in a starry night scene around a glowing grill as is how the event usually comes to rest. So feast your eyes!
