Brett, Gia and Michele put the spare ribs on the grill.

All American Bar-B-Que (106)
Lisa Vail is Super Woman. At least that's what her husband Brett thinks. She's a mother to their two kids, holds a full-time job, runs the household and has somehow managed to squeeze in enough time to train and complete a triathlon. Brett and their friends decide to show their pride with an All-American BBQ.

Honor your own American hero with a similar set up, complete with a red, white and blue picnic table, dishes and napkins and an open-face berry pie. And take your tips for grilling mouth-watering spareribs from an outfit that lives up to its name — The Pig restaurant in Los Angeles.
