After recently winning the Kosher Chopped Cooking Competition, Rare Steakhouse & Extreme Catering of Miami Beach Executive Chef Arthur Jones shared this succulent summery dish with me. I was immediately transported into summer mode. Summer and grilling are always synonymous in my home... and a refreshing watermelon salad too? What more can one ask for?
