I was watching Bourdain over lunch today, largely because I like to punish myself. When Anthony’s cavorting around Sao Paulo and I’m on my couch eating leftover lasagna, life seems a whole lot less fair. I mean, he’s always in exotic locals – Brazil, Italy, Montana – and eating fantastic food that most of us don’t realistically have access to. It’s less a lack of want and more frequently a lack of ability.
But why should “meat and glory” be restricted to Bourdain? After all, I’m better than fair with a grill as are most of my friends. So…why not start a Grill League?
What’s a Grill League?
Well, it’s an excuse for a whole bunch of people to come together and grill, try new foods, drink some beers, and have a good time.
Ideas are still up in the air, but I’m thinking of meeting a couple times a month, typically on Saturdays, and likely at parks around the city. Food should be served in small portions, that way people can sample and share without filling up. Side dishes are optional, beer likely not.
And like Fight Club, if it’s your first Grill League, you have to grill.
Anyone interested?
Sign me up – I can make a mean sauce – and hobo fixin’s
There’s gonna be a lot Richmond Hobo food, I have a feeling. I wonder who’s gonna bring the first Octopus
I’m not a pro, but would love to find out how to be more like one. I’m in too. :mrgreen:
Count me in! Excellent idea.
Awesome. The more, the meatier.
I’m in! (And, if I could find a good one, I’d probably be the octopus guy.)
Excellent!
um, hellz to the YEAH!
Put me on the list too. Sounds cool.
Yes! I grill year ’round at home so this would be a blast.
Excellent. Looking at Nov 14 as the potential date. And probably Powhite Park as the location.
There comes a time in life when you find your calling. For me it was not when I started curing my own bacon, or making my own sausages. It was discovering *this* blog post – its like a whole world of awesomeness just opened up before me.
@Nick Ha! Welcome aboard. Saturday, November 14th…There.
Will.
Be.
Meat.
I am marking my calendar now!
I am woman, hear me grill! I don’t have my own, but I’ve got skills :)
Awesome-pawesome, Steph
Mmm this sounds so good. This should be a regular thing..
Thinking about doing it monthly, with the Die Hards doing it over the winter and the fair weather cooks when…well, when the weather is fair.
You know I’m in, especially since you seem to be stealing my wife to be your sous chef
@George As your best man, the ability to steal your wife and have her aide in the preparation of meals is one of my perks.
