I would have liked the infographic better if it were less about mesquite vs. hickory and more about the lives of the men and women that died to provide us with freedom and liberty.
Just my 2 cents.
Eric Dye says
Good call. You can leave your 2 cents, anytime.
Dave H says
Thanks Eric. I wasn’t sure how my comment was going to be received.
I’ll be back with more positive comments in the future, I promise. ;^) Happy Memorial Day.
Eric Dye says
Awesome.
Thanks for your service, by the way.
(I see you’re in Spain? I’m in Italy. :-))

You do not BBQ burgers, hotdogs, or steak.
Grilling ≠ BBQ

I would also be more interested if they placed Kansas City, MO in the correct spot. Looks closer to being Jefferson City.
Eric Dye says
It must have been designed by someone who lives in the East.
