Hosts in Lutsen ask
Should we tip?
Up to you. It's not built into the price.
Our group in Lutsen is pretty big.
Large parties get a second chef and grill so supper comes out at about the same time for everyone.
Do you cook in winter?
On a mild day in an open garage, yes. The grill never goes in a closed space, so January is usually out.
What about mosquitoes?
The grill's heat and smoke help more than you'd think. A couple of fans by the table handle the rest.
What do we set out?
Tables, chairs, plates and silverware. A cooler of pop and beer never hurts. The chef brings the rest.
How long is the chef there?
About ninety minutes on the grill, plus setup before and a cleanup of the cooking area after.
