Tuberville schools Schumer on grilling after mocking his initial try
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer faced ridicule on X (formerly known as Twitter) after he posted an image of himself grilling a burger with cheese already on it while it was still raw. The incident showcased his apparent lack of grilling skills and prompted negative reactions online. Subsequently, Senator Tommy Tuberville also became involved in the matter, though the context or nature of his involvement is not detailed in the excerpt.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) was roasted on X for posting a picture of him grilling a raw burger with cheese on it, revealing his grilling inexperience, and after a few negative comments, Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) said he’d be willing to teach him how to properly grill a burger.
On Father’s Day, Schumer shared a picture of himself standing beside a grill full of patties with a spatula in hand.
“Our family has lived in an apartment building for all our years,” Schumer wrote in the now-deleted post, “but my daughter and her wife just bought a house with a backyard and for the first time we’re having a barbecue with hot dogs and hamburgers on the grill! Father’s Day Heaven!”
People were quick to notice that one of the presumably raw patties had a piece of cheese on it — a faux pas that every seasoned griller knows not to do.
This garnered Schumer a lot of criticism and teasing, leading the senator to remove the post.
Tuberville, a former college football coach, said to Benny Johnson on The Benny Show that Schumer’s attempt to appeal to the masses failed.
“He’s trying to show people that hey, he’s just an average guy that goes up and cooks and all that — you can tell he’s never cooked in his life,” Tuberville said.
Tuberville also brings up the fact that Schumer is cooking on a gas grill.
“In the South, we call that communism. I cook with regular coal — lump coal and applewood chips,” Tuberville said. “I like to cook steaks and chicken — I cook it all — sausage. But there’s a way to cook it, too. You got to soak your apple chips or your hickory chips for about 30 minutes then you put in your charcoal to give it that flavor.”

Johnson suggested the pair host a special on “how to grill,” to which Tuberville said, “We can invite him and teach him how to do it.”
Schumer is just the latest politician to blunder behind the grill. In 2022, Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) posted a picture of herself in an all-white dress flipping a patty behind the grill.
