It started as a thing around BBQ as I have a small indoor infrared grill (all my friends have small places too).

Will also do other stuff like Mexican chili, bring your own steak and grill it etc. People bring drinks and snacks or dishes.

What inspired me.. My friend used to do it a few years back and somehow I realized it let's me become a social hub, have people invite their friends so I keep in touch with and make new friends.
