Nothing like summer in the Midwest. The corn is on the grill, the brats are on the grill, and the burgers are… on the grill. It's grilling season, guys. There's nothing that kicks a Midwest dad into gear more than the opportunity to stand in front of the grill (in a wide stance for maximum stability), flip burgers, and ask everyone "Do you want cheese on yours?"
A Midwest cookout is unlike any other. It's something we do exceptionally well. It's in our nature to sit out in the yard, drink cold beers, and watch kids play with the hose. A summer barbecue represents simple pleasures in its highest form. What I would give to rest a paper plate on my knees full of perfectly charred meats and a scoop of potato salad. But until I get invited to one, I have these memes to keep me company. They do the trick almost as well.
