Because Fire And Chicken Belong Together

    * Escalating cheers and excitement from crowds as El Pollo Loco crew members pull the ropes of a massive 25-foot bow drill until an ember possibly emerges     * An El Pollo Loco Grill Master donned in a flame-retardant suit enters the Bow Drill area with giant tongs to grasp the ember that will become the hand-made flame that unites the grills at El Pollo Loco restaurants     * Fire trucks and safety personnel will oversee the event

Promotional stunts can be an interesting way to spend an afternoon. Especially when they involve fire. And food. Tomorrow, in Los Angeles, El Pollo Loco will combine the two in a big way. Like Guinness World Record big. Well, at least the fire part. Read on for the press release, and yes, I posted this solely because of the promotional graphic above.

Flames Barbecue Mitt is hopefully flame-resistant

Flames Barbecue Mitt

I’m not sure this is necessarily what you want to see while standing next to the grill, but in case you like your burgers well done, perhaps the Flames Barbecue Mitt is for you. Personally, after an early experience with too much lighter fluid, I tend to appreciate the low and slow school of cooking.

Rotisserie in the woods

Auspit Australian Rotisserie BBQ

Getting away from the city is always a recipe for a good time. Part of that fun usually includes ‘camping food’.

At the very least, any meal you prepare is most likely going to differ from how you make it at home.

Fire-roasted stuffed peppers on the grill

Chile Pepper Grill Rack

Just look at that picture. Doesn’t that look crazy delicious? Those loaded peppers would certainly look great on my grill. Just imagine a few juicy burgers cooking alongside this Chile Pepper Grill Rack. Now that it’s grillin’ season, it’s time to consider the deliciousness that is to come in the months ahead. From the looks of this grill gadget, I believe roasted peppers deserve to be included in every single grill session to come.

The stainless-steel Pepper Rack holds 18 peppers and is dishwasher-safe. The rack measures 10-inches by 4.75-inches, and holds the peppers at a height of 2-inches. It will cost you twenty bucks to get your hands on this accessory, which is a small price to pay considering how hard it is to stand a dozen and a half peppers on end.
