Unconventional barbecue

Who doesn't love a summer barbecue? And yes, dads especially. So why not surprise them on their day this year with something a little more adventurous than a hamburger on the grill?
Sure, everyone loves a good steak and a few corn on the cob. But try grilling a pizza!

Pizza was invented over an open flame, so it only makes sense that you'd get a wonderful crispy crust on your barbecue.
Canadian chef Bob Blumer even co-authored a book last year devoted to pizza on the grill.
To round out a Father's Day meal, try making a Caesar salad as well as dessert on the barbie.
For more ideas, take a listen to food columnist Julie Van Rosendaal on the Calgary Eyeopener.

Andrea Chiu is an associate producer at CBC Radio Digital. Though she loves to eat, cook and discuss food,

Kevin Yarr, CBCNews.ca's writer in Prince Edward Island, wrote about food and beer for national and regional magazines before joining the CBC. He acquired a desire for new tastes on his first trip to Europe, and an appreciation of eating locally and in season when he finally settled down on P.E.I.
Elizabeth Bridge is a writer with the CBC Digital Archives in Toronto. She first ventured into the kitchen as a child to indulge a sweet tooth by baking cookies and making fudge. A student budget compelled her to be a vegetarian (for a while) and instilled in her an ongoing curiosity about food and cooking.
