People are stuck inside the house or shopping in the cold AC.
LOL,
You have to live in a Mexican neighborhood. Out here people find any reason to fire up the grill. The worst possible thing to happen is you walk outside your house in the middle of the week and you smell someone cooking! You can smell the citrus, onion and chile in the air, after I identify what the neighbors are cookling, I head indoors and open up a can of soup:rolleyes.:

Out here, the main meat is marinated skirt steak, it's cheap, not too thick and you can feed an army with a few bucks. You can buy pre marinated meat, a few dozen corn tortillas, Someone will make the salsa, A pot of beans, someone makes rice.

One guy grills the meat and heats tortillas, the meat is tossed onto a butcher block where someone takes a cleaver to it! It gets dumped into a bowl and everyone goes buffet!

Maybe you don't want people partying in your hood.

Sometimes we get parties that go until 2-3 in the A.M.


BTW?

Yeah, it does get way too hot to cook outdoors in the summer.
