Grilling - A battle of the sexes?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
With Memorial Day approaching, many of us will be firing up our outdoor grills, some for the first time this season.
I know people say grilling is “man’s” domain, but I know I can barely get my husband to switch out the gas tank, let alone handle cooking duty. Whether it’s burgers, kebabs or steaks, it’s yours truly out there flipping and basting.
It seems to me that grilling takes as much skill as any type of indoor cooking. In fact, there seem to be even more variables for getting things just right. What makes the legions of male “weekend warriors” willing to tackle this culinary adventure while managing to stay clear of anything involving a stove?
Is it just me out there? Are gals really not grillers? What makes grilling a “man’s job”; and are the men actually doing it?
