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…
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 …
Because they're so darned good, I had to make some more home-smoked pork belly burnt ends on my Traeger Texas Elite 34 pellet grill. Man I love those things -- bite-sized nuggets just packed with flavor. And they are not too terribly hard to do either. This time around I bought a 4.2lb all-natural slab of …
I finally got some time this week to a make a late lunch visit to Lonestar Sausage & BBQ in north Houston. And I'm sure glad I finally got here. Kevin Mason started this business many years ago. Smoking meats and making sausages was something he enjoyed doing with his father. Like many, it started …
