Charcoal is nasty
I have to add real life experience to my June 30th post.
I went to a fabulous barbeque throw down at a friend’s place. The food was all home cooked, Southern style: mac and cheese, bbq baked beans, collard greens, potato salad. All delicious, all made with love and skills.
I was happily anticipating my burger which had been marinated over night in a special sauce. When it came off the grill and I had my first bite, my friend asked to me if I could pick the secret ingredient in the marinade…
Uh, “lighter fluid” I thought.
I could not taste anything on that burger but nasty chemicals. I asked other friends afterwards and we all agreed. None of us could finish the burgers. Besides tasting foul, we all imagined we’d drop dead with cancer if we took a second bite.
I now firmly stand for gas and electric grills only. Besides being more green, they are also way better for your health. And they seal the deal for the reason you’re grilling in the first place; your taste palette.
It might look cool and bring back fond memories from childhood but, in my opinion, the charcoal grill should die with the dinosaurs.
