Firing up the grill is a Memorial Day tradition, but some people may need some help when it comes to barbecue.  That's why LongHorn Steakhouse is offering up its 'Grill Us Hotline' from now until Sunday.

LongHorn executive chef Kurt Hankins says the best kind of ground beef to use for hamburgers is a 80-20 lean-fat combination, which has enough fat to make the beef flavorful.  He says the best steak to grill is a ribeye because you can grill it well done and not ruin the taste.  Hankins also says that people who are on a diet can opt for a filet or sirloin.  They don't have as much fat, but they still taste great and don't flare up often on the grill.
