Courts Brand Manager, Melissa Marius said, “We had to celebrate our fathers in a big way at Courts this Father’s Day. So we reintroduced our King of the Grill competition and received overwhelming response from eager participants.  In addition to the level of responses, we were also very impressed with the creativity and uniqueness demonstrated in the recipes submitted.”
