12 Types Of People You'll Definitely See At A Barbecue
The Grill Guru
The master of the grill. The Grill Guru confidently flips burgers and searing juicy steaks, armed with secret seasonings and a passion for grilling. The grill guru is so passionate that they probably won’t let you near the grill. And if they do, prepare to be schooled on how to properly grill.
The Backyard Athlete
Prepare to witness the self-proclaimed sports superstar of the barbecue. This person takes every opportunity to showcase their athletic ability in the simplest of backyard games. Whether it’s a casual game of horseshoes or a friendly round of cornhole, they approach it with a level of intensity that rivals professional athletes. They may not have a trophy cabinet to show off, but their exaggerated victory celebrations and constant reminders of their “unbeatable” skills make them an, um, “entertaining” addition to the barbecue festivities. You’ll pretty much be exhausted by the time their competitive edge comes down.
