A few weeks ago I received an email from Mysteriously Yours Dinner Theatre inviting me to a special VIP Night to celebrate the official opening of their new show, Speakeasy.

There’s something about the taste of grilled food that just screams summer to me. Relaxing outside with a perfectly cooked steak, some grilled corn or veggies and a cold beer is the perfect way to spend an evening. Since this is the start of grilling season I headed up to Ontario Gas BBQ to check …
