If you’re a resident of the state of Illinois you know today was a special day. Yep, the weather finally turned the corner and it’s going to start warming up. Spring is pretty much here, and nothing says spring like firing up the grill. Except maybe summer and there is plenty of “grill firing up” in summer as well but bear with me please.

Now pretty much everything tastes better on the grill. Meat, Veggies, but in terms of Vegetables on the grill, nothing comes close to Asparagus. It’s healthy, it tastes wonderful, and you can pretty much pair it with any meat. Steak? Yep. Salmon? Yep. Chicken? You bet your sweet ass.

And everyone knows what happens after you eat asparagus. You may be thinking to yourself “Gross Mike, I can’t believe you really believe this.” But you know what? I actually really don’t mind the smell of my Asparagus Pee. In fact, I kind of enjoy it.

Judge Me.

Nothing you can say will destroy the relationship that I share with this vegetable.
