Over the years I have come to the conclusion that BBQs are actually pretty overrated purely from the quality of the food perspective. The idea that the charcoal or whatever actually imparts much flavor is nonsense imo. BBQ meat is only better because the higher heats allows you to char it better.
Nope, BBQs are nice because you can sit in the open air with - hopefully - some sun on you and swill beer or G&Ts or whatever. The food just isn't all that.
I took the young lad to Wow Burger weekend before last. The females had gone to the theatre but clearly neither of us are gay.
Bacon cheeseburger (double of course, they only do double), grilled mushrooms, grilled onions, lettuce, tomato, WowBurger sauce.
It was simply magnificent.
Side order of chilli fries which I miscalculated as spicy fries but in fact they were fries with chilli on top. Quite the beef feast.
Raw onions, pickles, jalapenos all optional extras.
Was it not terribly messy? I must admit that I'm coming around to the idea that less is more when it comes to the fillings of a burger. With an overfilled burger, you end up smeared in greasy filth and with bits of the burger dropping onto your plate/lap/shirt/trousers/dog.
