Sometimes simpler is better. Labor Day celebrates the labor movement and is a tip of the hat to the achievements of American workers and is now a workingman’s holiday. So if you’re off this Labor Day and spending quality time with friends and family, take it easy and keep it classic for this Labor Day cookout menu.
