This has absolutely NOTHING to do with Braves stats, the team's management, or the team in general (hence the 'OT' proclamation).  So tune this fan post out if thats what you are looking for.

Instead this post is just a Spring-Training-Get-Me-Through-Till-April filler post.  I don't think I'm alone when I say I love to grill during the summer months and nothing complements a 7:10pm first pitch more than a cold brew and a grill.  In my life, they go hand in hand.  My two passions are my Braves and cooking/grilling.  I just got my first Big Green Egg for Christmas and I've become obsessed.  This isn't a BGE forum but I've included a pic of my BGE and the table I made for it.  This is set up right outside my Braves man-cave on the patio.  I'll spend 6 hours a night watching Braves baseball, shootin' some pool, and puttin' down a couple pops here during the summer months... this is my heaven.

This leads me to my two questions.  During your late evening Braves game nights at home:

1.  What's your cocktail or beer of choice when you're going to put down a couple on a weeknight while Chip Carey screams into his mic?

-and-

2.  What's your specialty on the grill and what kind of marinades/rubs/prep do you use?  Maybe something you prepare for the day-long tailgates in the Blue lot.  I don't know... let's get creative with this and learn a little bit about the Talking Chop regulars!
