MEAT YOUR GRILL’S NEW BEST FRIEND

Grill Season  has officially started my friends. With Memorial Day a few weeks behind us, and July 4th just two and a half weeks away – now is the time to step up your grill game, and get yourself The Pops Q Tool.

The website says that the Pops Q Tool is pretty much the most versatile, bad-ass, barbecue accessory you’ll ever known – so let’s find out why.

Recommended Videos

Well, first off – the Pops Q Tool comes in two sizes – 15′ and 18′ – this all in one barbecue multitasking gadget can handle and backyard situation. Buying one of these means eliminating the clutter of tools you’ve had rusting over since last summer.

It’s really the Swiss Army Knife of BBQ tools – did we mention this item is entirely made in the United States of America? Perfect for Independence Day….

Tool 1 – The Spatula. 

The Spatula is the workhorse of the Pops Q Tool. Made from 304 Stainless Steel for superior strength and rust resistance and measuring 3.25” tall by 3.5” wide, this spatula excels at handling everything you cook, from large burgers to slender fish fillets. Stone ground 45° front section increases ease of use.

Tool 2 – The Fork

The four pronged fork is designed to maximize control over food on the grill by itself and when paired with the spatula. It’s extremely useful to stabilize food on the grill for cutting or positioning. The angled tips also work well for roasting marshmallows, and fending off wild creatures who wander into camp.

Tool 3 – The Mega-Tongs

This is THE FEATURE that sets the Pops Q Tool apart from every other BBQ tool in the world: The fork slides into the spatula and creates the ultimate Mega-Tong. The large tongs provide full versatility at the grill, for flipping, adjusting and then serving anything you can grill – from Flank Steak to Flaky Lettuce to Shish Kabobs and Shashimi!

Tool 4 – The Scraper

The V Design grill scraper on the bottom of the Knife works equally well on small hibachi or large Forest Service grate – because a clean grill means a better tasting meal.

Tool 5 – The Knife

The brand starts by laser cutting the initial serrations into the 304 Stainless Steel, then stone grinding both sides to get the correct cutting angle. The result is a serrated knife that easily cuts meats, veggies, and bread on the grill. It’s both a time saving feature, and a little reward maker for the grill master of the day – for who doesn’t love a little “sample” off the end when grilling?

Tool 6 – The Bottle Opener

Now this feature reminds us of a pair of sandals we once wrote about…

Grilling and cold beverages go hand in hand. Some of us like beer, others like bottled soda, but we all agree that easily opening those bottles without having to go back inside for a bottle opener is better. Best way to use the opener is to hold the spatula towards the sky, it works upside down as well but it requires more effort.

The best part about this superhero-style grilling gadget extravaganza? You can engrave both handles. Yup, you can personalize these – so if you’re still thinking about what to get Pop for Father’s Day….and you don’t mind your gift arriving a few days late – then we think we may have found a winner.

Bottle, Whiskey, Glass

Four Roses has announced the release of its 2026 Limited Edition Small Batch Bourbon next month — and this year’s batch reaches back further than any prior release, blending bourbons aged 14 to 23 years.

The new blend from the Lawrenceburg-based distillery combines four hand-selected batches across three of the distillery’s ten recipes: 14-year-old OBSK, 14-year-old OESK, 15-year-old OESV, and a 23-year-old OESK. It’s non-chill filtered and bottled at barrel strength, 109.2 proof.

The Gold Room Is Peak Gilded Age New York Glamour
Altar, Architecture, Building

As a New England WASP, I probably have a hereditary fondness for grand old rooms. My Boston Brahmin forebears, after trading religious zeal for mercantile ambition, liked nothing better than sipping claret, playing whist, and smoking cigars in their clubhouses on Beacon Hill. In private quarters adorned with mahogany paneling, maritime paintings, and marble fireplaces, my flinty ancestors chortled deep into the night—safely removed from wives, papists, and, God forbid, Yale men.

Since moving to New York City, I’ve delighted in finding bars that feel like clubhouses frozen in the Gilded Age. The Campbell in Grand Central comes to mind. The Rose Club at the Plaza. Although much newer, the Polo Bar gussies up the blue-blood clubhouse aesthetic with fabulous fare, a trophy-laden wine cellar, and an ultra-exclusive mystique. But the apotheosis of robber-baron extravagance is The Gold Room at Lotte New York Palace.

Classic lagers to drink if you want your beer to “taste like beer”
Pilsner Urquell

When you think about the flavor of beer, what do you imagine? To me, it’s a crisp, refreshing, no-frills lager. The type of beer you’d just as likely crack open on an unseasonably warm spring day while grilling as you would after an afternoon of mowing the lawn on a hot, hazy, humid summer day. It’s light, refreshing, and tastes like beer.

That’s not to say that there isn’t a place for chocolate- and coffee-centric porters or boozy, barrel-aged stouts, or even tart, lip-smacking sour beers. There is a time and place for those and many other styles. It’s just that sometimes I want to crack open a beer and not taste an explosion of tropical fruit juices or get bashed in the head with malts or oaky wood. I want a beer that tastes the way I imagine it should. Specifically, I’m thinking about a balanced, thirst-quenching lager.
