throughout high school and college, i was known as”the grill bitch.” i fucking love grilling, or cooking with a grill. it’s amazing.

one of the sad things about living in a loft downtown without a balcony, you give up things like a charcoal or gas grill. throughout college i grilled for my fraternity, i entered fraternity grilling contests (i won once) and i roasted three 100+ pound pigs for luau parties. i absolutely freaking love grilling. there’s something about burning dead dinosaurs charcoal and smoking and roasting that delicious meat to a crisp on the outside, soft and tender on the inside.

a grill in general is extraordinarily versatile, and it will make anything from ribs and fish to toast and the most delicious pineapple you’ll ever taste. while i own a grill pan, a real grill just cannot be substituted. there’s one requirement for my future loft/living space, and that’s just that i need outdoor space so i can grill. i leave you with the greatest grill man invented…strangely enough, it’s made back in my home town of palatine.
