Grill Club for Men
So I’ve never owned a grill before. I know that calls my manliness into question but it’s true. My wife and I went out today and bought one because we figured it was time.
As we’re loading it into her truck, a guy comes up and offers to help out. I gladly accept and once we’re done he compliments me on the grill.
As we’re pulling out, another guy walks by and upon seeing the grill, gives me a big thumbs up and a smile and jokingly calls out, “When’s the barbeque!?”
We get home and I ask my neighbor to give me a hand lugging it into the backyard. He does and then we have a conversation about the grill, it’s specs, and we left off with my being tasked to report back to him later as to how this grill performs.
I feel like I’ve gained membership into some sort of club that I had no idea existed.

Don’t worry - as a vegan I am far less “manly” in the eyes of the grill club.

We used it last night for burgers so we’re officially IN the club now. It’s been raining hard since the day we bought it and it was cool to finally be able to break it in.
And vegan is OK. The grill doesn’t care whether it’s blasting meat or veggies.

I’d love a grill, simply for some wild caught salmon and a nice plank of cedar… Or a nice kebab of damn near anything.

That’s weird, we had kebabs last night! My wife’s parents are in town so we did up skewers of meat and veggies. Very awesome.

Sounds good to me. I’m excited for the weather to turn hospitable here.
