Weber's Command of the Grill - A Salute to Steak and our Marines!


Heads up fellow GrillJunkie's! Nudged by our Marine friends at The Bit Bucket blog, http://msthenetworker.blogspot.com/ we wanted to help promote the long awaited release of Weber's Command of the Grill - A Salute to Steak. This is no ordinary cook book! This book is the result of grilling competitions held for Marines. A great way to celebrate your passion for grilling, and to help our beloved Marines. Go ahead, find out more about what fires our Marines up.

In 2005, active duty and reserve Marines at 10 military installations around the country took up their tongs in the ultimate battle of the barbecue. They marinated, seared, and sauced in an all-out battle for top grilling honors. This book showcases the winning recipes from the competition, along with steak recipes from famous former Marines like Lee Trevino and Ed McMahon.

This unique book combines the love of grilling steak, while unveiling a unique perspective on our Marine's favorite pastime! What could be better than a book that combines all of those, you ask? Well, Weber has designated that every single penny of this $10 book goes to supporting Marines wounded in action, or the families and children of Marines who were killed in action. The Charities supported are:


- The Injured Marines Semper Fi Fund - Provides financial assistance to injured Marines, and other service members injured while assigned to Marine Units.

- The Wounded Warrior Project - Provides programs and assistance to severely wounded service members.

- The Fisher House - Provides a home away from home for the families of patients receiving medical treatment at Military and VA medical centers.

- The Marine Corps - Law Enforcement Foundation - Assists the Children of Marines and Law Enforcement who were killed while serving their country.

If you know a Marine, buy this book for them, if you know someone who likes to grill, buy this book for them. Heck, buy one for yourself. Give something for those who sacrificed everything.

Be sure to visit the Weber site, where you can read more about the book, the story behind the book, and the charities!

From the entire GrillJunkie Team, we wish to thank and send our admiration to Weber for honoring and supporting our Marine's

Semper Fi!
