" I wanna cook your meat ".

So says Charl Schwarzel, the current Master's champ. At the upcoming Champs dinner,  where Charl is nominal host, he wants to present a typical South African bar-b-q where the host cooks the meat. Yeah, well that works great with a dozen folks in your backyard but seems so juvenile to me to insist on such a meal under these conditions.  As if no one has ever eaten grilled meat before and his taste is superior to everyone else's. Perhaps he wants to cook hippo or hyena.  I recall the hullabaloo that Fuzzy Z got into with Tiger's first dinner-fried chicken and collard greens!  All these guys are pampered egoists. Maybe that is the only way to 'win'.

Maybe, he just enjoys cooking some BBQ for himself and others. Nothing wrong with that.

From where I stand - anyone who wants to ensure that there will be well-cooked meat on the menu is a good thing.

If they want to grill it to perfection...well, that is just love.

If, on the other hand, their grill skills are lacking, then I would agree with you about the ego thing.

You could have an iron chef competition between Schwartzel and Mario Batali, then a boxing match between the loser and Sugar Ray. The loser also has to take lessons from Hank Haney, who will also write a book about them. Too harsh?

When you win the Masters you can do it your way.

I'm sure it will be a step up from the hamburgers Tiger served in '98 or the Haggis Sandy Lyle served up.

Wow. Read into things much? It's his dinner, he's the host and he wants to grill for everybody. How exactly does this make him a "Pampered egoist"?
