Has this ever been discussed on this site before.
OK I am at Block island years ago & had a wonderful (one of my ten best) steak on my gas grill off of my boat. Was it that good or was it because of the place I was at. Same with hot dogs & burgers in the woods. Or this past weekend at the club on the Housatonic river I cooked hotdogs on our grill for a Jets party my wife & I hosted they were just amazing. In fact more people stayed on our second floor porch & ate then watched the game......OK it was only the Jets
LOL. Now think of it by the end of summer most people are a little tired of dogs & burgers (not me). But people kept saying how great they tasted.
So i guess I answered my own question it is the beauty of the great outdoors...the wild....nature... right?
But wait a minute I have spent many hours in the Citi-field, Shea stadium, Yankee stadium, Giants Stadium & Metlife Stadium parking lots cooking & eating.......Ambiance, hell no Great smells or views..... NY city...again no....... just cars.
OK it must be I am a great cook
No again.....You are all much better than me so that is not the answer.
Friends & Family? not in my backyard with my in-laws or at a stadium with 50,000 drunk fans in a parking lot....no again.
So why does it. I have been thinking about this for the last two days......I can only come up with two answers
1) I am in my happy place(s)
2) I am relaxed even if I am working hard throwing a party.
Even in a parking lot in a major city surrounded by crazy fans at 10 below.
What say you?
