The steaks are high for these gifts.

I promised my dad that this gift guide would be well done (and full of dad jokes). Everything I've learned about grilling has come from the expert himself, on our Chicago patio, where my dad spends five days a week on our gas grill cooking up some skirt steak or filet that my mom has professionally marinated. Safe to say, I know my way around a grill.

And I also know that grilling is, in essence, its own sport. If you've ever met a die-hard barbecuer, which are more common than you think, then you know that the grill itself is only one facet of the sport. The accessories, the gear, the meat—it's what goes into grilling that counts. There's something about the ambience of grilling that attracts so many of these flipping fanatics; maybe it's the smoke wafting in the air, the sweet smell of burning charcoal, the feeling of being one with your meat. As my dad puts it, "Day or night, sun or rain, I know I can rely on my grill. May need an umbrella or extra layer, but it's just me and sous-chef Pebbles out there, flipping meat." For context, Pebbles is our family's 40-pound Golden Retriever.

I'm not quite sure that I get it. But you don't have to get it in order to get a gift for someone who does get it. Got it? Good. A grilling gift is a display of understanding. It shows you care about a person's culinary passion, even if you really couldn't bother with burners, burgers, and propane tanks. So, say "I love you" with grilling tongs, a rustic serving platter, and a snazzy meat thermometer. Take your pick from one of the best grilling gifts on the market today, and I promise you, it won't be the wurst thing you do.
