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…
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 …
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 …
It's been a while since I made my own jerky. But a couple weekends ago, it was just time again. I started with a package of USDA Choice top round from my local Costco. The package weighed in at ~5.6lb. But I used one of the two top rounds from this package, so it was …
I believe that the beef rib is the king of Texas barbecue. It is such an impressive cut of beef. Of course we're talking about plate ribs. I think the smaller chuck ribs are good too. And I am sure the beef back ribs are reasonable. They just look too meager in the volume of …
What is it about full pork spareribs that makes me love them so much? I mean, I love all kinds of smoked meats and other smoked food. But there is something special about a full pork sparerib. I know the beautiful version of pork ribs is the baby backs (maybe it was the Chili's Restaurant …
There is no secret that I am a big fan of smoked meat. And spicy food. And bacon. And a whole lot of other stuff that either may or may not be good for me. But one of my favorite ways of bringing a whole lot of my favorite food together into one beautiful bite …
For Mother's Day this year I asked my sweetheart if there was anything special that she would like for me to cook for her. I was of course secretly hoping it would involve meat and fire. Thankfully it did. She said she wanted some sea scallops. I was more than happy to oblige. I've done …
There are definitely some advantages to working from home during this COVID quarantine era. This past week I decided to try my best to replicate the absolutely amazingly-delicious Smokehouse Burger from Tejas Burger Joint. Without question, this burger from Tejas is the tastiest burger I have ever enjoyed - and I have eaten it more …
