In today's Food section

Fire, baby, fire.

I love my gas grill and use it year-round. Where there's smoke, there's me with a pair of tongs.

But I will admit that I'm not the world's greatest griller.

Fish, kebabs and vegetables are all a snap, but I never seem to get steak right. Part of the problem may be due to impatience.

On Sunday, I threw some beautiful T-bones on the grill and thought I had the perfect outside char. Then, I did the old finger test - poked the meat to see if it was done - and truly believed I finally got it right.

I let the meat rest and when we cut into it- it was more blue than medium-rare. Argggg. Back on the grill again. What's the secret to steak?

Today's food section is about autumn foods and autumn grilling, such throwing a few sausage on the barbie.

One of my favorite cookbook authors Rick Rodgers also offers some great recipes.

And we have a story about hot-headed chef Gordon Ramsay who tries to help some former Delaware residents turn around a struggling Indiana restaurant on an upcoming episode of Kitchen Nightmares, scheduled to air at 9 p.m. Thursday.

(Yes, I know, we spelled Muncie, Indiana, wrong in the print version. It's been corrected online. I appreciate the phone calls, dear readers, who pointed out the error this morning. Yes, indeedy, it was a screw-up, kind of like those T-bone steaks. I'll try harder next time.)
