    That grill does appear to be on though if you look at the knobs? Just because you can’t see flame in your grill doesn’t mean it’s not on, if anything you typically don’t want to see flame in a gas grill. I mean do people think those clearly cooked hotdogs were cooked somewhere else and then brought here and staged here? Also store bought burger patties are fine if you’re cooking for a lot of people, nice hand crafted burgers are only worth it in small batches for folks who will appreciate it…on cookout day nobody wants a fancy burger. Honestly dunk on libs all day but I don’t see much to dunk on here other than “boomer grills meat”

        Yeah that’s fair, at least cook one side first. I think some burnt cheese ends is okay but you do have to at least cook half of it first.

      Sometimes it seems like there are a lot of people on the left who sort of “fall for” the outrage bait from rightwing sources. Sometimes I know it’s just jokes and all, but sometimes it feels like people are just excited to shit on liberals and will believe anything. I don’t like it when other leftists remind me of my uncle on Facebook or something.

      Those burgers appear to be totally raw. It really seems like they did get some grilled sausage from elsewhere and the s lapped them on there.

      If it is legit why the fuck did they totally cook the sausages before adding cheese to a clearly uncooked gray burger patty.

        Hotdogs cook a lot faster than burgers, it wouldn’t be uncommon to cook the hotdogs first, then move them to the other side to stay warm while the burgers cook. Something is wrong with those burgers though, someone said they look microwaved and I tend to agree.

      Store-bought is ok, but you cook them (at least on one side) before you put the cheese on. He’s gonna have to flip that burger cheese side down. This really isn’t right. stalin-stressed

    You should see the spin reddit is putting on this image

    they’re saying it’s ackshully totally normal, chuck schumer has never “been able” to own a house and have a back yard with a grill (just like smol bean AOC!!) and he said so, and said it was just a fun photo shoot in his son’s yard for fun in a fun way and totally not an extremely weird picture with cheese on raw meat

          i bet boiling would look like that too. i wouldnt put any of these possibilities past him but he seems geezer enough that he’d do something absurd like boil–>short grill to make marks

          e: wait fuck if they were sous vide that’s actually a respectably recommended method. i think internet shaq did a video on it

    Not a single drop of sweat on that shirt for a guy standing over a “lit” BBQ…

    Also… a very very empty cutting board. No empty trays that held the dogs or burgers, no wrappers, not even a clean plate to put the cooked food on…

    Why don’t the wealthy like grilling? What the fuck are these people eating? They’re always so weird about food, but it’s like if I were wealthy I would actually eat the food at the attractions. If I didn’t care about spending $25 for chicken tenders at a basketball game then why not? That sensation was one of my favorite parts of being abroad. The meals increased from $3 to $6 while I was a captive audience. I went down to the bar to get a bottle of water and a juice and I thought the teenagers at the bar had said it was going to cost 10x what they took. When they gave me the change back I was confused for a moment.

    Are the rich exclusively getting fancy dining and private chefs? Is it always the plate with the little bit of sauce whipped onto it? Do they not sometimes want a simple meal they make themselves without having to text somebody that they’re hungry? Do they also have someone draw for them? Do they have exploited labor journal for them as well? “Here Jones, take my phone and go be out and enjoy nature in my stead, I have to go make sure children don’t eat.” I want to pity them for never experiencing the stillness that comes from household chores.

      What the fuck are these people eating?

      The rich and powerful are different from you and me. They’re fucking freaks. This was Nixon’s last meal at the White House…

      He could have had his chef prepare pretty much anything and White House chefs are well-known for being fantastic. It’s their job is to give the president exactly what he wants. And Nixon wanted that.

        this just checks the boxes of 2000s internet wtf but in its context it was not at all unusual. if anything it comes off as a feeble attempt to appeal to common people

        cottage cheese + canned pineapple was a classic cheap meal & it’s kind of absurd to be rendered in such a formal presentation with presumably fresh pineapple. the tall glass of milk was also not so poorly received as it is now for adults.

          The way attitudes to milk have changed is super weird. It used to be like… Normal. We had milkmen! Everyone drank milk.

          Now it’s weird if you’re not a child?

      I remember reading at the old sub that Mitch McConnell only ate some mush that was basically gruel. Not sure how truthful that was, but I can believe these soulless fucks don’t even enjoy food.

      Most of them are really old too, so that’s probably got something to do with it.

    It would have been so much fucking easier to just grill some fucking burgers.

    At least the means testing brainstorm are so terminal they inflict it on themselves and make everything as complicated and ineffective as possible for them too.

    Like did they grill the sausages, add them to the grill and currently he’s huffing gas because the lines are open but there’s clearly no flame.
