Restaurant Reviews from around the country!

Like many companies, my day job has cut much of our travel budget - I guess it makes sense to keep us off the road unless we are generating revenue but it sure has put a crimp in my restaurant reviews. So ... If you have a favorite BBQ joint in your neighborhood, can take a few pictures (the place, it's sign, and a plate of food is what I always try for), and you feel like you can write a decent review - send me your stuff! I'll credit you on the page, and you'll have earned my respect and gratitude (sorry no prizes yet :)

Send your review and pictures to Bob@bobthegrillguy.com

Thanks!

I found a great BBQ joint at my latest exotic location - Madison, Wisconsin!

From time prehistoric, women have gathered and men have hunted. Even today - women gather together to "find" things like make-up, plastic bowls (that make an airtight seal!), purses, jewelry, and even those intimate items that we guys know nothing about. And like the days of our ancestors we men go yonder to find meat: deer hunting, fishing trips, even poker games (okay, that last one is stretching the definition of “hunting” but you do hope to bring home more than you left with). Nothing has changed in thousands of years!

Back in the day, the hunter would bring home a haunch of mammoth and immediately build a fire to roast a feast fit for a king! The fire, and all the mystery that surrounded it was the domain of the hunter ... and we liked it that way!

Even today in most homes, I'd bet that the grill is still the domain of the man of the house. He comes home, ignores the clean house and kids his spouse has provided, steps out on the deck, and fires up the grill. His goal - to cook up some tasty meat (none of those effeminate vegetables here - just prime USDA meat!)

If you're that guy (or if you're a woman who wants to invade those hallowed coals) then this web site is for you! Here we celebrate what has traditionally been known as MANLY!
So this week I'm introducing my newest feature - someone else's blog. Meet my cousin Carl. He a young guy living here in the Twin Cities, has a good job, and likes to eat. Given that he's single (yes, girls, single!) he also gets out a lot more than I do.
Carl has been posting his Food Adventures to his Facebook page for quite a while. I finally realized that his work could help my site - so please click the link in the menu and give Carl a read.
