Perdue Farms Taps The Grill Dads to Elevate Backyard BBQ Skills

Mark Anderson and Ryan Fey, the pair behind the moniker, are leveraging a new nationwide Talker Research survey to identify common grilling pitfalls and state-specific habits. Their collaboration with Perdue focuses on moving past the standard hot dog fare, offering guidance on preparing juicy, flavorful chicken that avoids the typical mishaps of the summer season. By analyzing data on the most intimidating ingredients and frequent cooking errors, the duo provides a roadmap for hosts looking to expand their repertoire.

Anderson and Fey, who transitioned from advertising careers to Food Network stardom, emphasize that confidence at the grate comes from mastering simple variables rather than complex culinary training. Their partnership includes a dedicated digital hub featuring signature recipes that draw inspiration from diverse regional cooking styles. These resources are designed to help home cooks navigate the pressure of seasonal hosting, ensuring that the centerpiece of the cookout is prepared with precision and consistency.
