I grill and barbeque all sorts of stuff.

Hamburgers and brats, for example.

USDA can pound sand.

We will be smoking a brisket and pork ribs under a confederate flag, the USDA is welcome to come by and have a plate.

I will be quietly mourning the Forth of July this year.

And until America is made great again.

The country is gorging now on sugar and they want people to increase that intake?

I would love to grill some fruits, except the government won’t allow me to do that.

Yeah, and I want the government to piss up a rope.

Hey, I’ve got a better idea, why don’t we grill some government butthole who thinks he knows what I should eat more than I do.

I tried to get Al F. from here in MN to come over and enjoy my grill and now I am considered a security risk!

Come on! The Resident said grilling fruit is preferred and I’d like to stick to locally sourced produce!

Grilled pineapple is best served with pork!

Same goes for peaches and apricots...
