I like to think I’m an open minded guy, I can reluctantly admit when I’m wrong. What am I wrong about? Grill marks. For years I have prided myself on getting perfect grill marks on my steaks, chicken and chops. Sure, it makes for a great picture but it does not maximize flavor. That space in between the grill marks is … More A Change in Philosophy
It’s a Christmas Miracle, I posted something!!! I haven’t been slacking again, I’ve been on the mend from a total knee replacement surgery. It’s almost 3 weeks post-op and the new knee is doing well, but I still cannot do much cooking. I expect to be back in the groove in a few more weeks. Fortunately, … More Hoppin’ Jalepenos
Pie…its tradition in a dish.Pumpkin, cranberry, apples…no flavors resonate more with Thanksgiving than these. Perfect in the stuffing, perfect as a side and even more perfect as dessert. After processing the Boston Marrow heritage pumpkin (halved, roasted in the oven at 350 deg for about an hour), mixing up the Apple Cranberry Cake and finalizing the toppings … More Easy as pie…
The Round Up just 3 weeks away on September 28th. Your’s truly will be there with my Disc-Its fired up and cooking up my latest creation. I still can’t share with you what it is just yet, the other 64 teams are gunning for me this year and I can’t afford to divulge any of my … More The Round Up!!
For the past two years this would be week I post about the Disc-It Round Up but not this year. No, I didn’t skip it and you didn’t miss it. Actually, the event has moved to September 28, right after the state fair and before the International Balloon Fiesta. We’re hoping the cooler temperatures bring … More Big Announcement!
Taking a little break from the burgers this week to celebrate National Brisket Day. Actually Brisket Day is the 28th, which is a Tuesday. I guess I will not be cooking a brisket for the big celebration, since I will be at work. Jeeze, who’s in charge of scheduling these things?? I’m sure my boss … More National Brisket Day is on a Tuesday??
Summer is coming…and we have been getting ready for it. Since the Fiery Foods & BBQ Show I have been working with a distributor to get my products into a couple of high end grocery store chains. I’m really exciting about taking my business to the next level. There is one little problem, my sauce … More Coming Soon….A New Sauce!
I’ve been AWOL again but I’m back. I don’t want to bore you with details of my failed leg of “lame” Easter Dinner. Or drone on about replacing the gasket and hinge assembly on my Big Green Egg. Nope, I’m just going to share with you my latest plan to get this blog back on … More I Had An Eat-Piphany!
I just had my annual blog review with my “boss”, and it was not good. Although the quality of my posts were acceptable, the quantity was lacking. I have officially been placed on a corrective action plan. Which is totally ridiculous, considering I don’t get paid to write this blog. I’m so ticked off; you’ve … More Corrective Action Plan
Well, looks like another year of blogging, grilling and BBQ’ing is in the books. It was a great year, from the purchase of my new house to winning my first cooking contest; it all went by so fast. And just like a good food junkie I will remember this year by the food I cooked … More Best of 2012
