Date: August 13th, 2025 12:36 PM Author: Texas School Book Suppository Charcoal is a biproduct of the auto-industry, which is why Kingsford is based out of Michigan. Backyard grilling probably became popular due to the rise of the suburbs and people having more time on the weekend. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5762022&forum_id=2#49181682) |

Date: August 13th, 2025 12:51 PM Author: Gefilte Fish Vindaloo Why charcoal? A charcoal suit, white shirt, red or blue tie, and black Allen Edmonds Park Avenues are the classic go-tos for acing the interview and landing a coveted 2L biglaw summer associateship. It's seen as slightly more conservative (safe) than navy, which is the only other acceptable choice. However, you need to think like a lawyer here. If there's even a 0.0001% chance that your interviewer looks down on navy, why would you risk it? Would you subject a client to that type of unnecessary risk? No. At least, a good lawyer, the type of lawyer that works at a white shoe law firm, wouldn't. Save the navy and the flashy dark brown half-brogues for the 3rd or 4th week into the summer, once you've established yourself. Until then, charcoal all the way.
P.S.: For the love of God, please do not wear an expensive watch either interviewing or as an associate. Partners look down at this type of flamboyance and will wonder if they are paying you too much. Clients will react poorly to seeing a first year associate with a Submariner while they are being charged $600 or more per hour of your time. Law is a fickle beast, and you must treat it with the respect it deserves. |

Date: August 13th, 2025 1:55 PM Author: https://imgur.com/a/o2g8xYK The charcoal was made using scraps from the wood used to make car wheels. They had all this wood but it had no obvious use. You can't use charcoal in place of regular coal because it's much less dense and leaves a lot more ash.
So yes, charcoal was made from leftover wood, but it was made to generate profits.
That's entirely separate from how grilling became an American tradition. People had to own grills before there could be consumer demand for charcoal |
