Did You Know That "Grilling Is Bad" and "Grills... Make Worse Food"?

[STEbbq]

I mean, can you imagine that multiple folks signed off on this awful piece? The writer, his boss, the editor, maybe the graphics guy…all clueless and/or uncaring.

[Mr. Bones]

Me thinks amazing ribs should host josh barro and show him what bbq actually is.

[grantgallagher]

I take back my comment after reading his piece. Lost cause. Maybe he ate 1 too many hockey puck burgers but forget him.

[Wedunne]

He's an opinion writer. He gets paid to write opinions. Lots of opinions. Even the best opinion writers run out of good ideas eventually. And he wasn't one of the best.

[Andrrr]

Well, I guess we shut this site down. Fun while it lasted boys and girls. It’s me and the foreman grill from now on.

[Panhead John]

Don’t forget the Liquid Smoke while boiling your ribs!

[rickgregory]

Either way, if the guy’s serious…or not…he’s an idiot. #1, If he was serious, he’s a dumbass. #2 If he wasn’t serious, he’s still an idiot…for a cheap article to gain him attention, because he can’t do it otherwise through an intelligent and well thought out article.

Nah, writers at places like BI are judged, in part, on traffic they generate. What's going to generate more traffic, a nice historical review of BBQ or... that post, on the weekend of the 4th? I mean, I've seen this elsewhere already.

Just gonna leave this here:

[Huskee]

"I award you no points..." I actually LOLed at that line.

[SmokingPat]

And next month, Bon Appetit has tips on the latest hot business investment!

[JeffJ]

It's a pretty bad take. The one thing he doesn't seem to acknowledge is that smokey flavor that grills produce. Very hard to duplicate that in a kitchen especially when compared with charcoal.

That flavor is technically a spice. I guess a talented cook can attempt to replicate it using liquid smoke...

[FireMan]

Maybe he has a future with CNN!

[Willy]

What part of "don’t get political" escapes you?

[klflowers]

Excellent article. I am packing up all my grills and smokers and taking them to the scrap yard based on his opinion.

NOT

[Mr. Bones]

LMAO Brother!!!

Hail, if'n I did that, why, I'd be a Very Wealthy Man!!!

[FireMan]

Yup, I hear scrap is up these days.

[holehogg]

I wonder if he knows where cooking originated. In the kitchen?
We had a similar article in our weekend paper past weekend. See if I can find it might be same author.

[Greygoose]

Another case of if "you appear to be the idiot, it’s better to keep your mouth shut than to open it and remove all doubt."
wouldn’t waste one second of my valuable grillin’,smokin’ and beer / bourbon drinkin’ time to read that BS,,,,,

[Mr. Bones]

word

[SmokingPat]

Slightly OT: Maybe we could get that guy to write an article about Costco blade tenderizing their meat, and the health hazard it poses?

[Skip]

Probably not the most welcome Pit Member if he joined.

[Mr. Bones]

We'uns always put down newspapers on th floor, fer anyone that joins, then we grabs us a cold bevvie, an observes...

Gentle guidin, an even occasional nudgin is well within Forum Doctrine...
