The sun hung low in the sky, casting a warm golden glow over the backyard where a lively All-American cookout was in full swing. A symphony of laughter, sizzling grills, and the clinking of utensils filled the air.
A large, rectangular grill stood proudly at the center of the festivities, billowing plumes of fragrant smoke as the seasoned grill master expertly flipped burgers. Heinz ketchup, mustard, and relish top your juicy glizzy. Red and white checkered tablecloths adorned picnic tables, and patriotic bunting hung from the fence, creating a festive atmosphere.
A celebration of good food, great company, and the simple pleasures of summer.
Performance artists, mike durkin and Angela Trovato, skewers (so to speak) the great All-American cookout. Exploring Americana, TikTok culture, #TradWife, consumption, and understanding the issues that separate us this election season. This will culminate in a performative cookout experience.
