Grill meal looks good, Brock. Love some asparagus but not the effect/smell it has on urine. You get asparagus piss brock? It's an interesting study that a lot of scientists appeared to be split on. Some people have the smell, some don't. Some say that all people produce the odor but are unable to smell it. It's a freaky thing, this asparagus. 

 

 

From webmd:

 

Depending on which study you read, between 22% and 50% of the population report having pungent pee after eating asparagus. But that doesn't mean only some people's bodies generate that smell. Researchers believe that, during digestion, the vegetable's sulfurous amino acids break down into smelly chemical components in all people. And because those components are "volatile," meaning airborne, the odor wafts upward as the urine leaves the body and can be detected as soon as 15 minutes after you eat this spring delicacy.
 
But only about one-quarter of the population appears to have the special gene that allows them to smell those compounds.
