The official start of summer is upon us -- Memorial Day Weekend -- and that means a few things: A break from work, the green light to wear white with confidence, and most importantly, grilling season.

Thankfully, here at Bravo we've got plenty of in-the-know people when it comes to firing up the old barbecue. From Bethenny Frankel's cookout tips to the veterans of Top Chef cooking with some serious fire, get some grilling guidance below:

Bethenny recommends Skinnygirl cocktails (naturally), and wants you to take the idea of burgers and sass it up a bit with a snazzy burger bar where your guests can concoct their own bunned beauties.

Need some more advice? Tiffani Faison drops some knowledge on all things BBQ below.

Want to get fancypants? Brian malarkey's grilled lamb chops should suffice.

And just because it's one of the best things you can hear, do enjoy Fabio Viviani's pronunciation of the iconic grilling item, the burger. Errr, "boorger.":
