Chef Erickson! I have not met you in person, but I came across your website earlier this year as you are aware. Incidentally, that what kind of barbecue grill would you recommend for a person that who is blind? Being blind myself and lemon out here in California, one of the most, terrible states to live in for a person that who is blind, what barbecue grill would you recommend for a person that who is blind? I heard of one person that who is blind that uses a big green egg barbecue grill. Now where I live in an apartment complex, we have barbecue grills in a picnic area. But that we cannot have our own barbecue grills . We just. And the barbecue grills we have in the picnic area use charcoal and charcoal lighter. And if I was to get charcoal, that did not require charcoal, lighter, have to use a lighter with a flame at the end of it. And I can see very little light anymore. So, what grill would you recommend? also that when I say California is a terrible state for people that are blind, it’s because we have a combination of high and low expectations for people who are blind such as myself. It’s called double standard. We allow blind people to run cafeterias in county, federal, We don’t allow people that are blind to be bakers or cooks. But, that we will allow them to wash dishes. That is if we want Support from the state of California Department of rehab. Our state is just as mean to blind people as states just like Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri and Texas are to African-Americans and LGBTQ people. It is ridiculous! I don’t know if you know any people who are blind out here in California, but some blind people are actually for that kind of treatment, because that’s what’s been planted in their head since they were children. so thank you for the video, I just wish there was information in the video about the best grill and how to get rid of the heat when you’re done grilling and that type of thing. Thanks again.
Hi Rick, I am sorry for my delayed response, but I really did not know quite how to respond. I can hear your frustration about what you perceive are a lack of good services for the blind in California, and since I have not received services from that state, it would be reckless of me to respond about an agency with so many people working there. I suppose there are both good eggs and bad eggs, or good apples and rotten apples to use a food analogy, but in life it is usually a mixture, and very often the complexity of politics makes the mix even more murky and difficult to navigate. Regarding the grill, I am not an expert in this area. I suspect you were referring to Chris Peltz, The Blind Griller, with the big green egg. Did you reach out to him? He has a facebook page that I think is called The Blind Grilling Experience. He is a very nice man, and very helpful. I wish you good luck!
