Licence to Grill - Season 3 (2004)

The cost of having a party every weekend is adding up so Rob decides to throw a Vegas Night BBQ. With a menu of apple stuffed veal roast, rosemary pork, grilled summer beets and a fresh green salad—his guests are sure to bet big and hit the tables with style.

Rob reluctantly agrees to throw a Pajama Party BBQ for his friend after they save him some big cash on his taxes. The tea-smoked chicken with an apple-plum chutney, grilled swordfish with a chili coconut crust and roasted veggie stuffed tomatoes send his friends off with sweet dreams of BBQ heaven.

It’s Rob’s turn to host the annual gourmet dinner. He heats up the grill and pulls together a delicious roasted tomato soup, grilled fillet mignon, sweet blue cheese stuffed pears, and some gourmet salads, and sides.

Tales from Rob’s friend of his adventures in India entice Rob to grill up an Indian flavoured feast. He puts together spicy mouth-watering dishes like lobster tails in curry butter, roasted curried potatoes, decadent lamb steaks and a carrot salad to help cool things down.

Every year Rob and his friends enter a beach volleyball tournament and Rob is in charge of the pre-game lunch. He goes all light and healthy with an all fish & veggie menu this time including salmon bacon burgers, crab burgers, spicy shark pitas and some delicious tabbouleh.

Rob hosts a bbq party full of incredible food as a sign of gratitude to his community. Rob whips up a spread that includes pumpkin spiced lamb burgers, mojo pork, veal stuffed onions and delicious coleslaw.

A poet Rob is certainly not, but a big bet he surely lost. Rob missed the shot from the top of the key and now he cooks for poetry geeks. So at the grill he makes a stop, to smoke some fabulous pork chops. He offers friends some legs of chicken with a coffee flavour hidden the scent of orange lingers in the air as duck gets passed around with flare. It is a luscious barbecue feast, for Rob can’t rhyme but cooks at least.

Rob challenges some rodeo-riding friends from Texas to a race on horseback. He falls a little short leaving him in charge of making and paying for dinner. He ropes together a cowboy feast including stuffed Texmex pork roast, smoked veal shoulder, spicy chicory sausage salad and grits on the grill.

Rob survives his first skydiving adventure and throws a celebration of life bbq for his instructor and class. Happy to have two feet on the ground Rob pulls together a feast of the best things in life – lemonade chicken, jumbo grilled shrimp, smoked pork butt roast with crackling and more.

Rob grills up some romance for his commitment-phobic friend and his long waiting girlfriend with a non-engagement party. Watch to see if Rob’s menu of herb rubbed ham, smoked corn chowder, grilled spud skewers and grilled beet kabobs bring his friend to his knees and get him to pop the big question to his Lady.

Rob parties like its 1988 with a retro 80’s barbeque. With big hair, padded shoulders and bad dancing Rob’s friends are no square pegs. They are “Like Totally” ready to dig into Rob’s feast of herbed veal steaks, rosemary smoked potatoes, lamb & pork souvlaki, and smoked salmon.

It is time for Rob’s annual Hot Tub Extravaganza! His friends sun by the pool and soak in the hot tub while Rob fires up the grill and make some delicious chicken kebabs, pork satay, curried cauliflower on sticks, salmon & fruit salsa and green bean salad.

Rob is back from a weekend fishing trip with the boys and it is time for a fish feast. Smoked trout, whole trout, grilled smallmouth bass, smoked veggie salsa and saffron rice are on the barbeque as the boys recount tales about “the one that got away.
