Meet Patrick Ginise

A backyard warrior, certified carnivore, lover of good whiskey and self-proclaimed grill master!
Welcome! My Grilling Life site is much more than just pictures of delicious looking food. It is learning the what, why’s and how’s of grilling and smoking with a little bit of whiskey fueled inspiration thrown in for good measure.
“One of my greatest joys is to see loved ones getting outdoors and spending quality time together. And what better way to do that than family and friends gathering for a cookout”.

Did I mention that I grill like a freakin BOSS too? Well, at least that’s what my family tells me. I do realize that they are required to say this so I don’t take myself too seriously.
So welcome to The Grilling Life. Pull up a chair and stay a while. I hope your taste buds are up for the challenge!


I love all things BBQ. I love eating BBQ and talking BBQ, but most of all, I love getting outside and cooking BBQ. You might say, I’m a bit of a grill freak! And you’d be right! It’s hard to pick my favorite thing to grill, but if I had to make a choice…I’d say it is a tie between a tri-tip, fall off the bone ribs and a slow cooked, smoky brisket.
If you are like me and love to entertain family and friends and serve them great food hot off the grill without worrying about whether everything is going to come out just right, then you have come to the right place.

If I can help in any way, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me as I love talking BBQ and seeing people succeed.
