A Little over a week ago I got an e-mail asking me to be part of the Johnsonville Grill Greats Blogger Panel. I’ll be part of a group of roughly 10 other bloggers/online ambassadors who will get to sample Johnsonville products, participate in some fun contests (many that you can participate in including giveaways) and I’ll have some great grilling tips. The panel will be starting soon as grilling season begins.

I received a welcome packet including a grilling mitt, apron, cooler (that will be great for work or transporting Johnsonville Brats to other BBQs). I also got some coupons for Brats and Johnsonville Bratwurst patties. I may also get to attend some food events on Johnsonville’s behalf which may include the Beer Bloggers Conference in Indianapolis in July 2012 or National Bratwurst Day in Sheboygan, Wisconsin in August. Personally I think that Brat Days would be more my sort of thing. Don’t get me wrong I like beer, I just don’t drink it much these days.

So look for some videos, interviews, contests and more to be found on BenSpark.com in the coming year.

Here are some of the other members of the Grill Greats Blogger Panel:

Oh and the Johnsonville Brats I grilled up tonight were a big hit. They were the original flavor. Eva saw that I had two and Allison had two and promptly asked where her second one was. And she would have eaten a second too.

I’ve been waiting for this day for a long, long time. You see, I meat Rob Merlino, aka, The Hot Dog Man, back in 2008. I learned that he was on a quest for National Hot Dog Month. That quest was to eat a hot dog a day for the month of July at a different venue each day. He’s gone 29 days with no repeats and even then can’t get to all of the joints around, there are so many great places. I asked Rob if I could go with him to one place, but which one… Oh yeah and Rob wanted me to get him a Camaro for his birthday. Continue reading Lunch at Larry Joe’s New England Fire Pit
