JR — Mon, 27 May 2024 14:55:26 +0000

Feel that? Yeah, boy. It’s almost here. The summer season is peaking around the corner with that come-hither look! When the season rolls around and the BBQ grill gets fired up, nothing complements those smoky, savory flavors quite like the perfect glass of wine. Yeah. I know. Beer and Claw are often the go-to beverages …

Peach Baby Back Ribs and a Finger Lakes Riesling

JR — Wed, 17 Jan 2024 17:58:41 +0000

Remember when I wrote about the peach pork ribs I made? That was child’s play. This past weekend, I followed a recipe that took the peach flavor up a couple notches and left no doubt what the dominant element of this dish is. Max-Peach Ribs My lack of culinary originality is well documented. I stand …

My New Year’s Eve Main Course: Smoked Herb-Rubbed Duck

JR — Mon, 01 Jan 2024 18:56:47 +0000

So here I am, drafting this here blog post, looking to link to a previous post I did about the first time I smoked a whole duck. Lo and behold, I could not find it. But there’s a very good reason for that – it doesn’t exist. I guess I committed the cardinal sin against …

What I Did with My Leftover Turkey: Smokey Turkey Sliders!

JR — Mon, 27 Nov 2023 22:24:54 +0000

I know I’m not exactly unique in this respect, but probably the second best part about Thanksgiving (the first, of course, is spending time with loved ones, making memories… all that crap) is the leftovers. Every year on the day after Turkey Day, I make myself a big friggin sandwich with turkey, lettuce, tomato, bacon, …

Nice Rack… of Delicious Smoked Chicken Drumsticks!

JR — Mon, 23 Oct 2023 14:14:51 +0000

I ain’t one to cook drumsticks too often. I did do it in this instance, but really haven’t ventured into drumstick territory since. However, a few months ago, I bought a rack specifically designed to hang chicken drumsticks as they cook. I meant to use it sooner, but… yeah. I don’t know. But, for whatever …

Getting Straight to the Point: Burnt Ends and Slice Sandwiches

JR — Wed, 18 Oct 2023 20:28:55 +0000

Football season is what I live for. It’s the perfect excuse to fire up the smoker and create some fun, crowd-pleasing grub. I’ve wanted to create something for game day that was brisket-centric for a while now – specifically burnt ends. What’s a better finger food with a tender, beefy, fatty taste, am I right? …

The Tomahawk Ribeye: Like Me, It’s Not Just a Good-Looking Piece of Meat

JR — Sat, 29 Jan 2022 17:00:14 +0000

Since I really got into barbecue, I’ve seen many a pitmaster post their cooks with the tomahawk ribeye steak – basically, a ribeye steak that hasn’t been removed from the bone. The comments I’ve seen related to these posts have been pretty much, “Yeah, it looks cool, but not worth the money. Just buy the …

The Two Great Tastes That Taste Great Together

JR — Fri, 26 Nov 2021 13:39:31 +0000

A commercial I always saw growing up was one for Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. You might remember it: one cowboy, eating a chocolate bar is trying to mount his horse. He falls on the other side and his chocolate falls into a big jar of peanut butter being enjoyed by another cowboy (if nothing else, …

The Best Pork Chops I Ever Had, and You’re Here to Witness It!

JR — Thu, 25 Nov 2021 13:21:56 +0000

As I’ve mentioned before, the standard meals I ate as a child left me with instinctual aversions to them as an adult. Mostly because my mother was a notorious mediocre cook with no flair for flavor. One of the dishes she used to serve fairly regularly was pork chops. Her version – plain ol’ pork …

Short Ribs Myron Mixon Style and a Blend of South American Goodness

JR — Wed, 11 Aug 2021 15:24:35 +0000

Holy crap. It’s been almost a month since I wrote my last post. Sure, I could make up some excuse like I went abroad for Habitat for Humanity. But you folks, because you’re my readers, are far too intelligent (and strikingly attractive) to fall for fib like that. I’m just damn lazy. Plain and simple. …
