What made you choose Aspire products for your outdoor kitchen?
I was fortunate enough to be able to test drive an Aspire grill in 2020. As soon as I uncrated it, I was in awe. Every accent is gorgeous. Once I cooked on the grill and could really appreciate the quality of it, I knew I wanted to add additional Aspire products to my outdoor kitchen.
As an experienced grillmaster, what do you look for in outdoor cooking products?
Style and appearance are important to me for aesthetics, but the most important factors are functionality and features. A grill takes up valuable space on the patio. You want one that can do multiple things and do them all well. My Aspire grill allows me to grill, smoke, sear, griddle, roast and even bake all while looking pretty with its stainless physique and citra accents.
What are your favorite recipes you have cooked on your Aspire?
My favorite recipe is rotisserie picanha. It’s a beef recipe I learned from some of my grill friends from South America. I also love smashing up a good burger on my griddle plate.
What sets this grill apart from others you have used in the past?
I have cooked on dozens of grills. The Aspire stands out, because while it looks elegant, it’s solid as an ox. Every aspect of it is constructed beautifully. It holds heat well. It’s very versatile. And it helps me turn out reliably good food.
What are your plans for grilling season?
For me, grilling season is pretty much year-round. As spring rolls in, I plan to experiment more with cultural inspiration, and I look forward to finding new ways to bring traditionally indoor meals outdoors.
