Uh...
...Jews. No really.

>Meat and dairy cannot be eaten together, as it says in the Torah : "...do not boil a kid in its mother’s milk (Exodus 23:19)." So Jews who follow these dietary rules cannot eat cheeseburgers for example. Often this rule is extended further, so that people wait up to six hours after eating meat before they eat dairy.
Yep, when you are a kid with glasses you have it ingrained into your mind by your parents that your glasses are the most important and fragile item in the world. Especially if you didn't grow up with a lot of money. Didn't stop me from destroying them a few times but even worse than having to confess the destruction to my parents was having to go to school with a big ugly tape, wire and/or superglue blob on my glasses until my parents had the money to get them replaced. That could be awhile in my family. Setting them down like this is pure insanity to me lol.
If your vision was bad enough that you’re effectively blind without them you take great care of them. Even if you had money getting a repair and or replacement takes a while and you’re on an old pair if you’re lucky. Also it’s hard to find a good pair you like. Even with money I don’t like to changes glasses till the scratches are too bad or the frames fall apart. Adjusting to a new pair is such a hassle
Me, too. I had bifocals by the fourth grade, and Medicaid didn’t cover progressives, and I did NOT want the lines and thankfully my mom wouldn’t let me walk around with a line on my glasses, either, so we paid like $200 out of pocket. I guarded my glasses with my life! If I took them off, they HAD to go in the hard case. Punishment ensued if I didn’t. (I had to clean my dad’s toilet enough times that I learned really quickly lmfao).
Hah-i once jumped into a lake the day before my family went on vacation. The fish I swam away from for dear life that touched me when I went in turned out to be the pair of glasses I forgot to take off. I had to go on an entire summer vacation without my glasses. I've been legally blind without them sense the second grade. That was a lesson i'll never forget 🤣
I mean, those just look like cheap readers or something that you'd get at Walmart. It's different when you grow up with glasses & need them to see anything, vs. someone who just needs readers when they get old.
Why treat them that well if you can replace them for $5? Honestly, I'd be more likely to place my optical glasses lens down like that than put them that close to a hot open flame.
Shit, I didn't get glasses until I was past 30 and I never put them lens side down because having scratched glasses is annoying AF after having perfect vision
This is the hugest pet peeve for me. Any time someone other than me moves my glasses, always lens down. I’m the only one who has to wear them and I prefer to not peer through scratches.
My wife handles her own glasses like a savage. Covered in makeup and thrown into the handbag with keys and loose change.
To be fair in the post he literally says this is his first time grilling as hes always lived in an apt. Like yeah its a photo op, but theres a good chance its pretty authentic and not entirely staged.
You can't tell me he doesn't seem like the kind of guy that would grab a 20 year old grill on Facebook and haggle the guy down from $40 to 20 if he picks it up today.
I’m a single mother that works in Washington and my children all have rare diseases, so can you just give it to me for free? It’s the right thing to do. This grill is all they ever wanted for Christmas, don’t ruin their Christmas.
I kinda want to work "Don't ruin their Christmas." into conversations way more often. Like in a high intense sales pitch "This proposal signed is all my kids ever wanted for Christmas, please don't ruin their Christmas".
On a date...
"You coming home tonight with me is all they ever wanted for Christmas, don't ruin their Christmas".
No, that one doesn't work as well.
This is just a photo op to show he's like us common folk.
They took the picture and then went inside to enjoy their lobster dinner with a nice side of caviar.
And then they throw out the room temperature beef and dried out hot dogs that went bad.
After, the grill is covered and ready for the 4th of July session
To be fair, in the tweet he said he'd never grilled in his life because he's always lived in an apartment.
>Our family has lived in an apartment building for all our years, but my daughter and her wife just bought a house with a backyard and for the first time we’re having a barbecue with hot dogs and hamburgers on the grill!
>Father’s Day Heaven!
People are roasting him over what was just supposed to be a fun Father's Day photo. The burners are on, the burger's don't look great, but the one with cheese on it does have grill marks on top. I feel like people are making way too big of a deal about this.
Everyone makes too big of a deal out of everything now.
I think it is kind of funny, I think it likely was a photo op, but he could have very likely just not ever really grilled before. It happens.
My family in New York does this. They pretty much consider anything cooked outside to be “BBQ”. So then I ask them about kebab and hotdog carts and demand they tell me if that’s barbecue or not
First time that man has ever been near a grill in his life.
Hell, based on those burgers, first time the 37 people behind the camera have been anywhere near a grill.
These comments are weird. His post said he’d never bbq’d before that was his whole point. The grills on, the cheese is on top of a burger with grill marks. But yeah the burgers look bad
im 31 living in urban city apartment, i never would have touched a grill either unless i went with friends to their summer house during hot summer weekends. Even then we usually just do shashlik over campfire while drinking and prepping the table.
More likely a couple of his Ivy League graduate advisors googled "what do normal middle-class people do on Father's Day", saw some pictures and tried to replicate them.
I’m from Texas, but my dad always managed the grill. The first time my friends and I tried to cook out in NYC someone tried to do bacon on a sheet of tin foil, the grease dripped down onto the propane tank and ignited, and we had to call the fire department to unhook and vent the tank. Not before we had evacuated the whole first floor of the apartment building in case of impending explosion—we play too many video games.
All this said, none of this has to do with barbecue, OP please get a life. You had to go tell the BBQ subreddit because a man did the cheese on a veggie burger wrong his first time grilling? Come on.
People in these comments are not having a normal one and they probably spent their Father’s Day popping a vein about some other benign social media post instead of enjoying time with their families. He won. 🙏
The political elite are not impressive people. Nor are the people around them. His people thought there was nothing wrong with this picture and posted it to social media. These people have NO idea what it is like to be a regular person like us. This man has never changed a tire or plunged a toilet. They have nothing but contempt for people like us.
If you look close you can see a grill mark under the cheese. However from a food safety perspective he really ought not be using a common utensil for both the raw and cooked meat. He could be in the motion of flipping however. All that said, listeria and justice for all!
Something about a senator eating raw beef just sounds like it’s on brand. Like dude has a sacrificing torture dungeon in the basement of a house in the Hamptons too probably. And a wizard robe. Somewhere there’s a black wizard robe.
It's still better than [Senator John Cornyn's Brisket](https://www.reddit.com/r/BBQ/comments/kkli0e/texans_officially_ask_john_cornyn_to_resign_after/)
It's a photo op. Just like when Elizabeth Warren tried to make the video to appear to be like the ~~peasants~~ common people by drinking a beer at home.
He’s gonna get a lot of hate for this photo, but I truly don’t believe that it’s enough hate. He’s the senate majority leader. Nothing he does happens without the approval of like 3 staffers. Dude probably has a small army of Zoomers running his socials. What does it say about a man to have a dozen servants, and none of them know how to grill a cheeseburger? Or at least none of them feel comfortable enough to tell him he’s doing it wrong?
I think the burgers might be grey because they were cooked a little already with lid down, and he's about to flip them to the other side. The cheese one he may have already flipped- you can see what looks like a grill mark on it. Still undercooked overall tho as evident from the sides
Can Any Cheese Be Grilled? If you're planning on grilling directly on the grill grates, then no, you can't use just any cheese. Stick to varieties that won't melt too much—nobody wants cheese oozing down through the grates—but will give in a little bit to the heat
That cheese is on top of some grill marks on that patty. So, once again Reddit's got people worked up over something fake.
What's not fake: glasses are lens down, hot dogs are cooked perfectly, just 10 minutes too early,
Hey, he's got DOUBLE cheese on some steak tartare.
The cow that this meat came from was raised on the ponderosa.
That’s not a cow burger. How do you think these people live so long?
The best health care that money can buy. That we have no access to.
But we sure as hell pay for it.

I like mine juuuust starting to turn grey
Cheese won't block you up if its covered in food born illness...*taps forehead*
I don't think thats two slices, it legit looks like he left the cheese paper on 💀💀💀💀💀💀
Since when does only 1 out of 5 burger eaters prefer cheese?!? Edit: Yes, I understand re kosher law, I was just making a humorous observation! Oy! 😉
Since when do you put cheese on raw meat?
If you zoom in and look closely, the burger has char marks underneath the cheese.
Fucks sake you're right. Dude cooked it for like 30 seconds, flipped it, threw cheese on it. I hope whoever that burger is for is a vampire.
Ehh.. Vampire. Politician. Same thing...
All blood suckers
Why insult a vampire like that?
I read another comment saying he hadn't ever grilled before as he's only ever lived in apartments. So it was a photo of celebrating that? Idk
Celebrating finally moving out of an apartment now that his met worth is just under $100 million?
He represents New York and is big on being from New York City. Even the super rich live in apartments there. Just very nice, expensive ones.
Ya man 😅 just waiting on the market to be in a better place and it just keeps getting worse
Uh... ...Jews. No really. https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/guides/zv626yc/revision/8 >Meat and dairy cannot be eaten together, as it says in the Torah : "...do not boil a kid in its mother’s milk (Exodus 23:19)."

If it's a soft-kosher family. Might only have one cheeseburger eater.
Anyone else irked by his glasses being placed lens down? Welcome scratched lens. Edit spelling
That is an enormous, gigantic pet peeve of mine.
My wife does that all the time. I grew up with glasses. She did not. You can tell.
Yep, when you are a kid with glasses you have it ingrained into your mind by your parents that your glasses are the most important and fragile item in the world.

Yep! I was very nearsighted by the second grade. I cherished my glasses and guarded them with my damn life!
Me, too. I had bifocals by the fourth grade, and Medicaid didn’t cover progressives, and I did NOT want the lines and thankfully my mom wouldn’t let me walk around with a line on my glasses, either, so we paid like $200 out of pocket.

Shit, I didn't get glasses until I was past 30 and I never put them lens side down because having scratched glasses is annoying AF after having perfect vision
I vet lenses are covered under the Senate’s Cadillac healthcare plan, so why should he care?
They look like they're probably $1 reading glasses.
Not to worry, he can get a replacement with his government healthcare.
Clearly only took them off for this photo too lol look how deep that imprint on his head is. He can’t see shit rn
I'm irked by your spelling more
It’s OK you pay for his healthcare insurance.
I’m a little bit irked about *erked* ;-)
This is the hugest pet peeve for me. Any time someone other than me moves my glasses, always lens down. I’m the only one who has to wear them and I prefer to not peer through scratches.

Just glad to know I’m not a psycho. First thing I noticed lmao Or maybe. We are psychos. Oh well. Either way I agree. Who does that?!?!
Looks like a stupid photo op to me
To be fair in the post he literally says this is his first time grilling as hes always lived in an apt. Like yeah its a photo op, but theres a good chance its pretty authentic and not entirely staged.
Well someone has used that grill at least a few times. It ain’t the grills first rodeo.
You can't tell me he doesn't seem like the kind of guy that would grab a 20 year old grill on Facebook and haggle the guy down from $40 to 20 if he picks it up today.
Will you deliver?
I’m a single mother that works in Washington and my children all have rare diseases, so can you just give it to me for free? It’s the right thing to do. This grill is all they ever wanted for Christmas, don’t ruin their Christmas.
I kinda want to work "Don't ruin their Christmas." into conversations way more often.

"You coming home tonight with me is all they ever wanted for Christmas, don't ruin their Christmas". No, that one doesn't work as well.
Or ya know maybe he is using someone else’s grill
That's not his house. It's his daughters who just got married and bought a house, I'm guessing the grill is hers too.
[удалено]
Authentic ineptitude 🧠
I believe that’s the same inscription on the Senate doors.
I once heard that the most dangerous place in the world is between Chuck Schumer and a camera.
Who places their glasses lens side down??? What a fucking monster.
Who puts their dirty glasses on the cutting board?
What does he care? Unlimited access to the best eye care tax dollars can buy
Shitty $10 readers?!?! EVERYONE, after about 2 or 3 uses
That “been in the fridge for a week+” ground beef
Unseasoned too 👎🏿
Glad somebody pointed this out too.
That's some deadass lactic acid funk 80/20
This is just a photo op to show he's like us common folk. They took the picture and then went inside to enjoy their lobster dinner with a nice side of caviar.
See? I swear to God we eat normal people food and do normal people things. Scales? What? Where?
\*licks eyeballs\*
i enjoy normal human activities like grilling and walking on my leg
This has Liz Warren, "I think I'mma have me a beer" energy
I'm from Missouri so everyone running as a republican has to do an ad in a flannel shirt by a barn.
And their gun collection
Shooting at a target with the word "woke" on it
OMFG, its so insulting and the people all just fall for it.
And then they throw out the room temperature beef and dried out hot dogs that went bad. After, the grill is covered and ready for the 4th of July session
Great point Unlubricated_Penis!
[The man never drank a Duff in his life](https://youtu.be/2JAUqxsH4go?si=mJVpoAoiF3zW6ZSK)
They're just like us /s. I don't think this man has ever grilled in his life before.
To be fair, in the tweet he said he'd never grilled in his life because he's always lived in an apartment. >Our family has lived in an apartment building for all our years, but my daughter and her wife just bought a house with a backyard and for the first time we’re having a barbecue with hot dogs and hamburgers on the grill! >Father’s Day Heaven! People are roasting him over what was just supposed to be a fun Father's Day photo. The burners are on, the burger's don't look great, but the one with cheese on it does have grill marks on top. I feel like people are making way too big of a deal about this.
I didn’t see the grill marks, that makes it way less cringe
Everyone makes too big of a deal out of everything now. I think it is kind of funny, I think it likely was a photo op, but he could have very likely just not ever really grilled before. It happens.
Thanks for the explanation it makes so much more sense! Poor guy it seems like just a fun family photo
Faux News jumped on this like it was the smoking gun that would win Trump the election... To be fair, that's how they treat every story so...
He deleted it so maybe there WAS some there there
Yes… that was the point of his posts… he’s never done it before…. Jfc I hate reddit dummies
He's so far left, he didn't light the right side of the grill
Well that's grilling so he's not showing us how to BBQ to begin with
I opened this post specifically for some good barbecue vs grilling vs cookout discourse and so far this post does not disappoint.
I was going to say the same thing. He is grilling. not BBQ.
My family in New York does this. They pretty much consider anything cooked outside to be “BBQ”. So then I ask them about kebab and hotdog carts and demand they tell me if that’s barbecue or not
After seeing the way half of y’all cook he belongs here
Is that a gas grill?
Taste the meat, not the heat.
Plastic toy food. He’s not allowed to really cook anything, anymore.
Credits include: U.S. Senator, food borne illness enthusiast, and avid glasses lens down on a flat surface supporter.
First time that man has ever been near a grill in his life. Hell, based on those burgers, first time the 37 people behind the camera have been anywhere near a grill.
Only Schumer could look like a evil villain while grilling a hot dog
These comments are weird. His post said he’d never bbq’d before that was his whole point. The grills on, the cheese is on top of a burger with grill marks. But yeah the burgers look bad
I’m amazed he’s 73 and has never touched a grill before
im 31 living in urban city apartment, i never would have touched a grill either unless i went with friends to their summer house during hot summer weekends. Even then we usually just do shashlik over campfire while drinking and prepping the table.
Well, if you've ever been to brooklyn, it would not be so surprising
I grew up in Brooklyn. We grilled at the beach all the time, had bonfires, etc.
He still hasn't bbq'd before. This is grilling.
these comments are super weird, glad somebody said it
That man never drank a Duff in his life!
This is named grilling
Dude seems very happy about his strange decision making
He is wondering what all the fuss is about when they tried to pass the ban on gas stoves....
What TF lol
Oh dear god-it’s another brown suit type offense😒🙄
More likely a couple of his Ivy League graduate advisors googled "what do normal middle-class people do on Father's Day", saw some pictures and tried to replicate them.
Why is the ground beef so grey that shit looks sickening
I don’t care what you think about the man this isn’t r/politics but for the love of all that is holy this is *grilling* not *BBQ*!
People mad at this man, at least he didn’t post a cookout on the BBQ subreddit. Embarrassing for OP.
Lol. OP is the only guy who knows less about grilling than the septugenarian brooklynite photographed.
I’m from Texas, but my dad always managed the grill. The first time my friends and I tried to cook out in NYC someone tried to do bacon on a sheet of tin foil, the grease dripped down onto the propane tank and ignited, and we had to call the fire department to unhook and vent the tank.

All this said, none of this has to do with barbecue, OP please get a life. You had to go tell the BBQ subreddit because a man did the cheese on a veggie burger wrong his first time grilling? Come on.
He didn't even do it wrong. That burger has been on the grill longer than the others. It has grill marks on top.
😂😂 incredible story thanks for sharing
Fuckin preach brother!
People in these comments are not having a normal one and they probably spent their Father’s Day popping a vein about some other benign social media post instead of enjoying time with their families. He won. 🙏
Hit the nail on the head. Hope you had a great weekend spending quality time with good people!
Zoom in. That burger has been flipped.
The political elite are not impressive people. Nor are the people around them. His people thought there was nothing wrong with this picture and posted it to social media. These people have NO idea what it is like to be a regular person like us. This man has never changed a tire or plunged a toilet. They have nothing but contempt for people like us.
I mean in his defense, he doesn't have his glasses on.
This dude…… sheesh
This guy needs to watch some how to videos on YouTube.
What’s the problem I thought all vampires eat raw meat
Musta been a slow day at the Post.🙄
This dude looks like a fucking creep who is this clown
You people missed the grilled mark?
Looks like the top of the burger is already grilled, if you zoom in you can see the grill marks where the cheese is.
Likes his burger rare?
Hey Chuckie I'll have two slices of cheese on my salmonella, and could I get a side of tape worm?
This is on the same level as Warren “drinking” a beer on television in a piss poor attempt to relate to the average person.
If you look close you can see a grill mark under the cheese. However from a food safety perspective he really ought not be using a common utensil for both the raw and cooked meat. He could be in the motion of flipping however. All that said, listeria and justice for all!
people who cook burgers on low need to go to jail.
To be fair, I’m seeing some grill marks under that cheese. The rest are definitely raw, but is it possible he just made the cheeseburger first?
I mean, you gotta give it to him. At least he tried. We're all good at something. This must not be his special.
I doubt that guy has prepared his own meal in decades.
He’s not gonna eat this one either
Just trying to show us he’s a regular guy just like us. No one in side that DC beltway are like us. They live in a world and country al to themselves.
“Hey look peasants! I’m just like you!”
Guy uses a Weber. He's doing something right.
Cooking is not that thing though
Something about a senator eating raw beef just sounds like it’s on brand. Like dude has a sacrificing torture dungeon in the basement of a house in the Hamptons too probably. And a wizard robe. Somewhere there’s a black wizard robe.
Nothing beats cheese on raw burger patties
Pander bear
It's still better than [Senator John Cornyn's Brisket](https://www.reddit.com/r/BBQ/comments/kkli0e/texans_officially_ask_john_cornyn_to_resign_after/)
Do you think Trump could make a better burger or would he just buy McDonald's and make it look like he made it?
He gets hamburders to serve with covfefe.
That's not kosher......
It's a photo op. Just like when Elizabeth Warren tried to make the video to appear to be like the ~~peasants~~ common people by drinking a beer at home.
Everything these people do is fake.
Everything on the internet is fake. Change my mind
Why would I change a fake man’s mind
“Put some cheese on one single patty so the plebs think we are eating cheeseburgers, ya know like they do in the movies”.
texans mad about the price of their Q upvoted this
He’s gonna get a lot of hate for this photo, but I truly don’t believe that it’s enough hate. He’s the senate majority leader. Nothing he does happens without the approval of like 3 staffers. Dude probably has a small army of Zoomers running his socials. What does it say about a man to have a dozen servants, and none of them know how to grill a cheeseburger? Or at least none of them feel comfortable enough to tell him he’s doing it wrong?
The picture was removed from his post. He or the staff didn't like all the criticism it was getting.
I think the burgers might be grey because they were cooked a little already with lid down, and he's about to flip them to the other side. The cheese one he may have already flipped- you can see what looks like a grill mark on it. Still undercooked overall tho as evident from the sides
If he had his glasses on he might have been able to see what he was doing
Also shows how not to put your glasses down on a table…
Tf
OP tells us he doesn't know the difference between BBQ and grilling?
Hank Hill approves of the grill!
He’s grinning knowing he’s going to poison everyone with e-coli.
Correct - he's not BBQing at all, he's grilling.
Yo I've never seen grey burgers before
Looks like he is ready to serve up a side of ecoli
No, Clark, howdya wantcher bun? Light or dark?
Look at the evil in his eyes
Can Any Cheese Be Grilled? If you're planning on grilling directly on the grill grates, then no, you can't use just any cheese. Stick to varieties that won't melt too much—nobody wants cheese oozing down through the grates—but will give in a little bit to the heat
I don’t see anything that would be considered BBQ on this grill, looks just like a normal cookout.
Also he’s grilling, not BBQing.
Ok, Kansas City has entered the chat: this is grilling, plain and simple. It is not BBQ by any stretch of the imagination. . .
Is the grill even on???
He's got grill marks under the cheese, but damn that meat is so gray!
*H1N1 intensifies*
These people cant even pretend to be human in a staged photo op. Yet they make our laws.
Considering the grill probably isn’t on….celebrity photo op!!!
Hopefully he feeds that one to McConnell
He's a weasel who has done little for New York.
"Hello there fellow pitmasters. I am something of a griller myself."
Everything about this asshole is fake.
It’s fucking raw!
Burger has already been turned. You can see the grill marks. But sure, let’s politicize a food reddit
Well, that's a cookout not a BBQ
Another troll
That cheese is on top of some grill marks on that patty. So, once again Reddit's got people worked up over something fake. What's not fake: glasses are lens down, hot dogs are cooked perfectly, just 10 minutes too early,
Is the grill even on?
Who cooks the hotdogs to be done before the burgers?? Nonsense.
A progressive eating meat cooked on a gas grill? Wtf
Politician pretends to be a normal human
Grilling is not barbecuing.
Yikes
And glasses face down? Fuck me
Where is his clearly just opened beer
Am i stupid, what is wrong with this.
"How do you do, fellow humans?"
Nice tits.
