The Big Grill Festival and the “Meat Sweats”
According to Urban Dictionary, the definition of the “meat sweats” is: To consume an obsene amount of meat resulting in profuse sweating.
I swear this is a real thing. It happens to me all the time! And it was especially real last weekend at Dublin’s Big Grill Festival, where I consumed an absurd about of meat. But it’s ok because I also had an absurd amount of fun!!!!!! OK, so that was really cheesy… buy anyways, here is my review of Big Grill Festival 2015!
The Big Grill Festival ran from Thursday to Sunday last week and took place in Herbert Park in Ballsbridge, a lovely area of Dublin. (Yes, I just used the word “lovely” seriously in a sentence…I’ve been living in Ireland too long).
The festival featured a large selection of Irish craft beers and local restaurants serving mostly BBQ dishes. There was also a stage with everything from DJs to brass bands throughout the weekend.
While the weather was a bit iffy all weekend (it is Ireland, after all) it didn’t actually rain the days when I was there, and it was actually pretty warm, albeit cloudy. It was a great small festival, and we had an amazing time! The day ticket prices ranged from €12-18 per day, and pints of beer were €5 and food ranged from €6-15.
It was a great event for families, and at night the party got a little more rowdy for everyone else. I would highly recommend this festival to any young person living in Dublin, because there’s a great crowd and it’ll only keep getting bigger and better every year! I for one had a great weekend…I drank too much beer, and ate more meat than I had in a long time. So obviously I walked out a happy (and stuffed) gal!
Success!
So there you have it! My review of The Big Grill Festival 2015 is overwhelmingly positive. I already can’t wait to go next year!
Hope everyone has a great weekend! I’m sick with a cold so mine will be pretty uneventful unfortunately…I really can’t complain though because soon enough I’ll be going to Electric Picnic, Copenhagen, and Croatia!
