  1. The Amish Tyrant

    Smoking, Grilling, and BBQ

    Carne asada. I hadn't previously cranked the heat my my grill/smoker. I tried 450 with about 5ish minutes per side. Tasty, but didn't get the sear/char I was looking for. Guess I'll try blasting even higher.

    Smoking, Grilling, and BBQ

    Jerk chicken and sweet onion kabobs with red beans and rice. The chicken was dry and wet rubbed, grilled at 375 for about 20ish minutes, then coated in a jerk bbq sauce for the last 7ish minutes to glaze. Even my grill says I'm cool.

    Smoking, Grilling, and BBQ

    Mother's Day grilling. Chicken and veggie kabobs with a watermelon and feta salad and eech (an Armenian bulger or cracked wheat salad that is hearty and vegan). Grilled on the pellet smoker for about 10 to 15 minutes a side at 350.

    Whopper Still Sucks.

    No one is championing fast food is better tasting or healthier than homemade burgers. It's more of "the best of the worst" scenario related to convenience and cost efficiency. It's hard to find ground beef for under $4 a pound (when you can still get 4 meal options for $5 at Wendy's) and work...

    Whopper Still Sucks.

    You're watching me? Next time, say hello. McDonald's double cheeseburger was the best deal on the market for a while. While I dig Burger King's onions and mayo, the patty size and flavor have gone down hill. Wendy's burgers are fairly spot on and the spicy chicken sandwich is legit.

    Easiest (Best?) Way to Cook Bacon

    I have a standing freezer in my garage for bulk meats and deals. Saves space and convenient (although someone else keeps way too much ice cream in there ... give me the meats). As for cooking bacon, in the oven on a rimmed and lined sheet tray. It's done the same way in restaurants, unless on a...

    What’s for Lunch?

    Banh mi "salad" with smoked pork loin and homemade pickled vegetables that were drizzled in Sriracha and covered with crushed "everything topping" cashews and fresh cilantro.

    Smoking, Grilling, and BBQ

    Respect. I was a dumb line cook for about 18 years and recently got into using a grill and smoker at home.

    Smoking, Grilling, and BBQ

    Still a nice presentation and spread. Do you own a catering company or bbq joint?

    Smoking, Grilling, and BBQ

    I rubbed a pork loin with Duesseldorf mustard and coated it with Cajun spice before injecting it with creole butter. Smoked at 275 for about 1.5 hours. Made a Cajun pork loin sandwich on a toasted onion roll that was slathered in mayonnaise and topped with homemade pickled cucumber and red onions.
