Summer is all about spending as much time outside as we can. Throughout the season (unless you're one of the lucky people who have warm weather year-round), countless grills are fired up and at-home grill masters dust off their favorite aprons, grill tools, and bags of coals (if they love an old-school, charcoal flame) to serve up their seared favorites.

Best Overall Culinary Experience: Paulie’s Cookout in Goodfellas

Goodfellas is a food movie. While Henry’s Copacabana entrance and razor-sliced garlic are perhaps the film’s most memorable culinary moments, Paulie’s grill-side hang, featuring sausage and peppers, cold beer, and a random assortment of likely-uncomfortable, certainly past-their-prime lawn chairs is accurate and somehow aspirational.
