Reason #28 Not to Wear Italian Shoes While Grilling

John Wayne once said, “they can take my grill when they pry it from my cold, dead, western wear clad hands”. John Wayne was a brave man with a keen style sense. But, he probably would have taken issue with my grilling  attire.

I grilled two different cuts of beef, tenderloin and sirloin flap. My lady friend is a fan of the softer cuts and I like the beefier flavor of sirloin. The meal ended up being His and Hers fajitas. His: sirloin, caramelized onions, grilled peppers, cheddar cheese and sour cream (pictured above). Hers: tenderloin, grilled zucchini, caramelized onions, grilled peppers, cheddar and salsa. Obviously, mine were better. I don’t eat foods with the letter ‘z’ in them. That end of the alphabet frightens me.

I was secretly attacked by a terrorist lump of coal while grilling. Sneaky bastard. Cooking is a dangerous game, my friend. Will that stop me? No. Will I abandon grilling? No. Was I happy that I was wearing shoes at all? Absolutely.

  1. Unfortunately I have stepped on the rogue coal sans shoes and I can assure you it is excruciating. Had to spend the next 8 hours in the pool, self medicating.
