From Chef Ric Orlando: Two Great Slaw Recipes for Your Memorial Day Cookout
Kandy Harris | May 22, 2015Meat on the grill is the name of the game for most outdoor cookouts, but if you get asked to bring a side, may we suggest one of these? Our friend and contributor Chef Ric Orlando, owner/chef of New World Home Cooking in Saugerties and New World Bistro Bar in Albany, shared with us the following recipes for a dynamite cole slaw.

Have a wonderful holiday weekend, everyone, and bon appetit!
