The best part of planning a wedding is, well, of course it is looking forward to spending the rest of your life with your one true love, but also it is getting to sample the menus of a bunch of caterers! Hubs and I got married in Santa Fe, NM, last summer and so “had” to go out there for a few planning trips to meet caterers, photographers, etc.
One caterer we met made wonderful food for us to try, including a fresh salsa with fire-roasted cherry tomatoes. I asked how she roasted such tiny tomatoes, and she brought out a grill similar to this to show us. She said she just put a bunch on the grill and rolled them around over the stovetop gas flame. We ended up going with another (much less expensive) caterer, but her amazing salsa (and other food) gave us pause in making that decision.
I’d prefer a grill like this with a single, longer handle, rather than the two tiny knobs this one has (I’d like to roast my tomatoes, not my knuckles), so if anyone has seen something like that around, let us all know. In the meantime, the low price might make this a good purchase just in time for summer picnics! [$15.95]
