Tonight, we get loaded up and ready to go to Fairbanks, IN, for Q For The Kids, our sixth competition.
We’re pretty excited about this one; we just took Dr. BBQ’s class last month, and we think we have a shot to place better than we have in the past. There are some great teams going, but we’ve cooked against most of them before. Whether we win or not, we’ll have a great time. Continue reading
Several weeks ago, I got some rubs in the mail from Melanie of Rod’s Rubs, with a bottle of each of their rubs. I told her I’d try them out, and then got busy. I finally got a chance to try them! Continue reading
This Friday, June 1, Bucky McOinkum’s Barbecue will be in their 6th competition at Q For The Kids in Fairbanks, IN!
We’ve taken Ray Lampe’s “Dr BBQ’s Real Deal Cooking Class”, and we went through a practice cook over the weekend. We were EXTREMELY happy with our results. The ribs were moist and tasty, and the color was great. The chicken was good, but maybe a bit too spicy; we thought we might need a thinner sauce than the Javacue sauce, and one that’s a bit lighter in color. Continue reading
As part of my last grilling class, I wanted to show mostly simple dished to grill. I included steaks, asparagus, pineapple and onions. But I also wanted to give the participants something that was a bit more upscale, while still not being anything difficult.
What I came up with was a favorite appetizer around my house: cedar planked scallops! Continue reading
I like to get back to basics now and then, but I typically can’t just do basic… So I wanted a burger, and decided to try some Lemon & Herb Nando’s Peri-Peri sauce for something different. Continue reading
I tried this last year, and I only got 1 response. So this time I hope it works out a bit better!
I’m going to try doing another Blog Carnival on Food Photography. Now, I know lots of you out there are taking photos of your food. I’ve seen you in the same restaurants I’ve been in, while I’m also taking photos of my food. I’ve seen your blogs, and there’s some great stuff out there (Nicole, I expect to see something from you… Same with you, Dr. G!).
Here how it works; submit your entries HERE. I’ll get emails of the submissions, and I’ll post info about them. I may email you for more info if needed, but the goal is to mostly focus on the photos themselves, with links back to your blog entries for more info.
Come on… Here’s a chance to show off you stuff! Continue reading
As of this morning, I heard from Jim Emig of Jim Dandy’s BBQ that their competition in Cincinnati is now officially sanctioned by the KCBS!!!
The comp will be on September 22 and 23, which is a Saturday/Sunday competition. Turn ins will probably start a bit early so people can get home at a decent time. I’ve read stuff on people wanting this set up, so it will be worth a try!
Look here for more info; email me at cmcadams@buckymcoinkumsbbq.com for more info if you want. I spoke with Jim this morning, and he said they’re hoping to have a judging class put together for the end of August, too.
Ohio comps… Gotta love it! Continue reading
A couple of weeks ago, my wife and I were in Manhattan, mostly eating everything in sight! One of our stops was at Daisy May’s BBQ, which is chef Adam Perry Lang’s restaurant, located at 11th and 46th.
The first impression was that it was incredibly clean. Everything looked great; they used to only do catering, but have added cafeteria style service and seating in the back. Continue reading
Next Monday, May 14, Bucky McOinkum’s Barbecue will be holding a cooking class at Cooks’ Wares in Springboro Ohio. Continue reading
