Everything is “oh, whatever you want,” “there are no rules,” “whatever you think is delicious, guys.” IT’S NOT THAT EASY, MARK, WITH IN-LAWS BREATHING DOWN YOUR NECK. …Or is it? Behold, some more easy-peasy, lemon-squeezy summer grilling tips from Mark.

He stopped by The Today Show this morning to demo the joys of making kebabs on the grill for Matt Lauer and the gang . Apparently, kids and grownups love food on sticks! (…We kind of resent how dumb The Today Show makes us non-pro-chefs seem.) The anchors quizzed the expert with all their pertinent grilling concerns and he basically just told everyone to relax.
