Third, does this mean I can write today off my taxes as a "business event?" #Grillfest #GrillfestMN #GrillfestInfluencer

Just got home and will recap the things I didn't get to while I was at #Grillfest. First, the "meat sweats" are a real thing #GrillfestMN

We are an hour away from closing and the BBQ vendors are running out #Grilfest #GrillfestMN

Honestly, that doesn't surprise me. I go there to get an Italian beef when I miss Chicago. It's fine, but that's about it. And their burger today was terrible #Grillfest #GrillfestMN

OTOH, the burger from Fire Lake might be the best one I've had yet. Incredibly juicy without leaving the fat taste in your mouth. Comes with what look to be roasted peppers & a cheese which be Feta. Just amazing. #Grillfest #GrillfestMN

Chicago favorite Portillo's has a burger and while I generally love their food, the cheeseburger is the first dud of the day. The burger itself is juicy, but criminally unseasoned. And the cheese isn't melted at all. #Grillfest #GrillfestMN

Now that I can sit down, I'll catch up on my posting. Thankfully, it's not all burgers. BullVino's has grilled sausage and steak. Both are amazing. Juicy & filled with fatty goodness. Plus they are giving away 20% off coupons. #Grillfest #GrillfestMN #GrillfestInfluencer

90 minutes in and I am sitting in the stands resting and rehydrating. Two observations so far. Napkins are the hardest thing to find. And some people brought plastic plates that strap to their wrists. I appreciate the hustle #Grillfest #GrillfestMN

What a view #Grillfest #GrillfestMN

Borough has a really unusual take on a Margarita. A lot of unique ingredients and a presentation that is a play on the sacrament #Grillfest #GrillfestMN

Next up, sample of a Dill Pickle Bloody Mary mix. Which is just okay. #Grillfest #GrillfestMN
