This site is dedicated to sharing my experiences with food of all sorts, but especially smoked foods. There may be a heavy emphasis on my favorite, Texas Barbecue…
2021 brought with it a number of trends, including smoked cream cheese. I finally gave in recently and had to try it as well. I wondered how well it would really go and how good it would really taste. Not mincing words - it is absolutely amazing, and so ridiculously tasty. And the best part …
I finally got to Crockett, Texas (yup - named after THE Davey Crockett of Tennessee and Alamo fame) this past weekend to enjoy the incredible food that Wade and Kathy Elkins are producing at Mimsy's Craft Barbecue. They're located on the south side of Crockett at Loop 304 and 5th Street. It was no surprise …
The amazing team of Erin Smith and Patrick Feges, proprietors of Feges Barbecue (just recently named as one of the top 50 BBQ joints in Texas) have been delivering incredible barbecue and equally amazing sides and desserts for a number of years now. Their first brick-and-mortar location was at a food court in Greenway Plaza …
I am a massive fan of almost any kind of pickle - dill, sweet, German, Polish, kosher, bread and butter, spicy, gherkins, cornichons, etc. and a number of other pickled vegetables too (oh man pickled red onions are sooooo good!!). I didn't figure it could be too incredibly difficult to make a basic pickle - …
We all know how awesome the Texas Trinity is -- brisket, pork ribs and sausage. But I'm telling y'all, Texas-style smoked turkey breast deserves its own category of phenomenalism as well. That stuff is just bomb. I've had it at many Texas barbecue joints, but had never made it at home. I finally had a …
Smoking pretty much any pork protein is bound to be good. But man I tell ya, brined and smoked pork chops are something else. And honestly they are just not that hard and don't take too much time. Making the brine is very simple to do. The brining process is pretty short. And when it's …
Man it has been a while since I got to try a new BBQ joint. So when I saw that my buddy, Brandon, pitmaster and owner of MoCo Barbecue Company, was doing a pop-up at Klein Memorial Stadium (just a couple miles from my house) I absolutely jumped at the opportunity to get over there …
I first heard about a new BBQ joint over in Cypress about a month or so ago called The Texas BBQ Lab. I finally got a chance to run over there today and give them a try, and I'm sure glad I did. I got to visit with the husband and wife team for a …
Not long ago I finally got a break that was long enough to drive out to Katy and experience the great barbecue at Chuckwagon BBQ & Burgers. They are located in a strip center on the southeast corner of FM1463 and Cinco Trace. I was bummed when I learned that the owner and pitmaster, Waseem …
I finally made it to a barbecue joint I have known about, and have even driven by, on a number of occasions over the past few years. I got to give Bam Bam's BBQ on State Street in Orem (it seems to me that it ought to be in Provo since it's so far south …
