WE know he's liked a nibble in the past, but how's this for a new extreme.
Luis Suarez, 31, who has had a reputation of literally taking a chunk out of his opponents, has launched a football facility with its very own barbecue space.
Complejo Suarez, which opened its doors on August 1, is a state-of-the-art sporting complex in the Barcelona star's home country of Uruguay.
Found on the banks of the Río de la Plata in the city of Ciudad de la Costa, Suarez has high hopes for the institute.
He wants families to live moments of enjoyment with friends and practice sports in a spacious and well-equipped environment.
And judging by these snaps, it seems like the hotshot forward has created the perfect venue.

Complejo Suarez boasts two roofed, artificial pitches built for football and hockey.
They are named after Uruguay coach Oscar Tabarez and the late Walter Ferreira, the physio who helped Suarez recover from a knee injury during the 2014 World Cup.

The turf has been approved by Fifa and there are high-tech electronic scoreboards built inside each space.
The complex's dressing rooms are equally as impressive, spacious and comfortable and they'll have you psyched up for the game before you step onto the playing field.
Decorating the walls of the Complejo Suarez are various photos of Suarez enjoying magical moments in his career for Barca, Liverpool, Ajax and the national team.
Those murals act almost as a museum celebrating one of the country's greatest ever exponents of the game.
But the real clincher, and this highlights the family aspect of what he's trying to achieve, is the addition of two barbecue areas surrounded by gorgeous gardens.

To celebrate the launch, Suarez wrote on Twitter: "The day has arrived!
"As of today, the five-a-side football courts are open in the city of La Costa, they can make their reservations through the web. A dream come true."
Complejo Suarez isn't the Uruguayan's only venture outside of football.
He also owns his own restaurant in Barcelona called Chalito, which serves South American dishes.
