Tasty Food Fail
It happens to the best of us. Dare I say, even the experts and professionally trained culinary geniuses screw up. Welcome to the Tasty Food Fail.
I am no perfectionist. In fact, I don’t even mind making a few mistakes because usually I learn.
Sometimes I’ll share my epic food failures here. Sometimes I will sweep them under the rug and hope nobody ever finds out about them.
Today – the very first Tasty Food Fail: grilled asparagus aka black charcoal stick of death
This would be somewhere between never wanting to admit this happened to having to share it here because it’s pretty damn funny.
I love grilled vegetables. I had a bunch of asparagus in the fridge and 2 small zucchinis I had to use up. So I sliced the zucchini, trimmed the asparagus, drizzled in olive oil and seasoned lightly. Ready to go on the grill.

I don’t really grill. Might be partly because I step near the grill and someone (not mentioning names – ahem Levi) takes over. I don’t want to blame Levi for this or anything but… they came out looking pretty interesting – and semi-blackened. (I love you Levi. haha)
I am all for a little char on my veg. In fact, the flavor can be quite good. But if all you taste is char, not so much. I regret not taking a picture of my supper last night, or my leftovers at lunch today.
Note to self/lesson for next time: Cook asparagus less. Like maybe don’t put it on at the same time as a chicken breast. Just sayin’.
