Have you ever felt like firing up the grill, only to quickly realize you have no one to share a cold beer with? Well, that’s no longer a problem. You can actually rent a total stranger as a barbecue companion for just $15 to $65 a day. The unusual service has been gaining traction, with dozens of ads popping up on social media. Those for hire will help you organize barbecues, grill some meat, and keep you company. Depending on how eager they are to please and how much you’re willing to pay for their services, “barbecue companions” will find a suitable place for a barbecue and take care of all the groceries, as long as you pay for the food. The specialized service is offered exclusively to men, with the clear mention that this is a paid service and no lasting friendship is to be expected afterwards. If you want to spend more time with your grill companion, you’ll have to pay their fee again.
