But a lot has changed this year and this year's summer, compared to last year, is looking very different.
As we all know, big gatherings/events are canceled for the time being, which means no house party and definitely no big braais.

If you don't get there first you could spend the whole day (or night) waiting for a space on the grill, while watching the rest of the guests eat their delicious meals.
So at the end of the day, the whole point of communal eating and sharing that experience never even happens.
