Yes, you’ve heard things are going to look different this summer because of the coronavirus pandemic. However, something that doesn’t have to look so different is your perfect Memorial Day barbecue, because LongHorn Steakhouse has launched a social-media “hotline” for grilling advice from certified "Grill Masters."
CELEBRITY CHEF JOSÉ ANDRÉS SHARES 9 TIPS FOR QUARANTINE COOKING
Memorial Day weekend, dubbed the unofficial start to summer, is generally a time for cookouts and large social gatherings. Though the latter might not be possible due to the COVID-19 crisis, the former definitely will be in full swing as families gather 'round the grill to celebrate in their own backyards.
But for those who are a touch dubious about their grilling skills, LongHorn Steakhouse will be sitting by, ready to respond to your social media queries from in-hour grilling experts.

Among them, Senich recommends using a “generous amount of seasoning” of your meat, starting with a clean grill, not being afraid of heat — or flipping — and using a meat thermometer to make sure you’re getting the exact temperature you're aiming for.
