MAN ON THE STREET: Grill Favorites (VIDEO)

In honor of Father's Day, The East County Observer caught up with employees and customers at the Gateway Publix to learn about their favorite grilling meats.

What is your favorite grilling meat and why?

Steaks and ribs. Ribs are so much better on the grill than baked. Steak is much more flavorful coming from the grill.

Paul Young, Publix meat manager
Porterhouse steak because of the flavor. It has an extra fillet so you can share it. I put it on an iron skillet and sear it in the house to keep the juices in. Then I put it on the grill for about seven-and-one-half minutes on each side.

I do a boneless,skinless chicken breast stuffed with sautéed onions, cheddar cheese and fresh-made pan-roasted bacon. All you do is cut a pocket in the chicken and stuff in the onions and cheese and then wrap it with the bacon. It looks extravagant, but it’s easy to make. It goes with anything.

Kim Taylor, store manager
My favorite is ribeye. It’s the most tender and my husband cooks it best on the grill. I’m lucky. My husband lets me take the best part of both our steaks.

Brian Combs, meat counter
The ribeye. We get riibeyes here probably once a week, sometimes more. It’s just a good cut of meat. It’s lean enough so it’s not grisly, but it has enough marble to have good flavor.
