Corn Fest! Hot hamburgers, right off the grill...
That was fun!
I got to be "the griller"... did burgers and dogs on the grill for about 120 folks who stopped by the Enterprise Senior Center, where we did our part to get folks fed at the annual Enterprise Corn Fest.
It was way hot... I was in the sun for about 7 hours. Thought I'd melt into a puddle. But oh, those burgers... they were perfect! We had 1/4 pounders. I put them on the grill (pretty high heat), and then seasoned them lightly with "California Blend" Garlic Salt. Turned them once when the juices started to rise. Seasoned them one more time and waited for the juices to run clean. Popped them onto a plate and into the kitchen, where they awaited an order.
The dogs were slowly simmered in a pan of hot water and then "striped" on the grill half dozen at a time. They had that great grill flavor, but never dried out on the steam line while they awaited an order.
All in all, I did 116 burgers and 24 dogs.
By the end of the day, my get up and go was out looking for anyone else's get and go... way gone!
What about Bev, Cindy and Mom?
Bev was in charge of assembling all the orders, as well as setting up the "lettuce, tomato, onion and pickles". Cindy was in charge of actually receiving, organizing and then taking the order to the dining area.
Mom was in her element, making sure everyone was happy, well-fed, and generally being the social butterfly.
At the end of the day, we were four very tired, but happy country gals.
