The Great State of Texas!

12/30/2014

     Mrs BGC and I recently flew out to Dallas to hang with Mr & Mrs Meat Church for the weekend. 



     We landed in Dallas at 3:30ish on Saturday. Jam packed plane, but at least Elise & I were on a 2 seat side. We checked into the hotel and then headed over to the Pittman’s house for their Christmas Party. They had tons of drinks, tunes, food, more drinks, shots, etc.  I was feeling pretty rough on Sunday morning…
 
     On Sunday, we tailgated and went to the Colts vs Cowboys game. The Colts KILLED me!! They have already clinched a playoff spot, but the hard part was sitting in a sea of Cowboys fans wearing Indy Blue.  The tailgate was ridiculous! These guys had a bunch of tents, all kinds of grills, a generator, a huge sound system, a big  flat screen TV & a ton of party favors.  They grilled up some elk burgers & served bloody marys. The Stadium was AMAZING!!! We were in the 2nd row of the send tier. We had a great view and was super close to the field.
 
     Monday, we drove into Dallas and did some sightseeing. We saw the Grassy Knoll where Kennedy was shot, the Schoolbook Depository & the old TX Stadium. THEN, we went to Lockhart’s Smokehouse. Holy crap!!! That bbq was outstanding!! I ordered the "moist" brisket and a Kreuz jalapeno sausage link. Probably the best BBQ that I have ever eaten.
 
We had a great trip!

Brisket Infused Bourbon

12/19/2014

0 Comments

 
I read an article that a bar in Texas was taking Aaron Franklin's brisket and infusing it into bourbon. This got my wheels spinning...

I started out with a whole packer brisket. I rubbed it with Meat Church Holy Cow and smoked it hot and fast on the Big Green Egg. 

I took several slices of the brisket and placed therm into a mason jar, then poured a full 750 ml bottle of Maker's Mark bourbon over the brisket. 

I refrigerated the jar for 6 days. Then strained the contents through a cheese cloth and then a coffee filter. I cleaned the mason jar, returned the bourbon to the jar & placed it into freezer overnight. 

A second run through another coffee filter and it was ready to go. 

This was a TON of work, but ended up creating a custom flavored bourbon. I really enjoy it!

Roswell Hardware Demo Day Recap

December 6th Demo Day at Roswell Hardware

Picture
What a fun day! I met tons of great people and a bunch of new Eggheads. Roswell Hardware beat last year's Demo Day sales record! 

I cooked next to Carey Wise from Southern Links BBQ and the Big Green Egg Cook Team. Carey cured and smoked a couple hams (that were amazing) and smoked some St Louis style pork spare ribs.  The BGE cook team had an array or food from pizza to cobbler. 


I smoked 40#s of pork shoulders for the event. They were rubbed with a combination of  Meat Church Honey Hog Hot and powdered Siracha, then injected with a sweet thai chili sauce. There were pulled and served with a sweet thai chili slaw on a King's Hawaiian sweet rolls. 


Picture
I also featured a new creation: BBQ'd Shrimp & Grits. These received EGGcellent feedback!! 

All in all, it was a fun day & tons of Eggs were sold. I can't wait for the next invite!
