Steak Enthusiast

There are many schools of thought as to where barbecue began, but it’s always interesting to see how other cultures describe this passion of ours and where it came from.

To me, I always think of BBQ as quintessential American. No doubt about it.

But, as the British point out in this article, its origins come from Spain, the Caribbean – even Paraguay!

Check out more interesting facts on our beloved American pastime here.

Gets me in the mood to fire up the barbie! How ’bout you?

To be honest, I DO NOT spend time watching Honey Boo Boo. There’s enough drama and outright ridiculousness in my own life so I really don’t need to watch any more of that.

BUT, this was too good to pass up. I mean, Pumpkin was gonna eat 3 lbs. of meat PLUS a 1-lb. bun. This I had to see.

Regretfully, this video is only a teaser for the meatlicious episode. But they rerun these shows so often you’re bound to catch it.

That is, if you’re as meat-curious as I am. I cannot believe a young woman could eat that much meat in one sitting.

But I’ve seen stranger things before.

And since it’s grilling season, I’m thinking YOU should have a cookout and issue your own challenge along these lines.

Make posters, set up a Facebook account. See who can eat the most meat in one sitting.

What else is summer for, right?

Bon appetit!

Well, they only LOOK like cheeseburgers. They’re really cupcakes.

But if I’m going to have a cupcake it might as well look like a cheeseburger!

Isn’t the artistry amazing? Almost too good to eat.

Okay, no. But they are spectacular.

What do you think of these sugary cheeseburgers?
