The big game (Super Bowl 50) was this past weekend and I wanted to make some good old fashioned BBQ to feed the family. Keep in mind, I am still in the process of teaching myself different techniques to cook the BBQ classics. One of the pillars of the BBQ world is Pork Ribs which comes […]
Big Green Egg Chicken Bombs
Chicken
This past week I received a package from my friends at Dizzy Pig BBQ Company containing their new rub “Crossroads”. Much like the song lyrics, I fell to my knees and thanked the BBQ Gods for this new flavor featuring a return to traditional BBQ taste! For my cook I wanted to do a classic Big […]
Big Green Egg Million Dollar Chicken
Chicken
As I continue to find things that inspire me to cook this year, a recipe came to me from a good friend of mine (and fellow foodie) Toan Thai. He sent me an email last week with a link to a recipe video for the Standard Grill’s Million Dollar Chicken suggesting I make this for the […]
Big Green Egg Jerk Chicken
Chicken
Happy New Year to you all. I hope your holiday break was a good one! Fresh back from our annual trip to Negril Jamaica, I am still reminiscing about the bold and intense flavors of their Jerk style of cooking. As a result, I wanted to recreate the flavors of Jamaica while the taste was still in my […]
Traina Sriracha Ketchup Stir Fry
Chicken
One of my most favorite food combinations is mixing Sriracha with Ketchup. I love it on fries, burgers, hot dogs, eggs… you name it, I love that combo on just about anything. In recent years I have seen many companies put out their versions of Sriracha Ketchup but nothing really comes close to the mix […]
Big Green Egg Lemon Garlic Chicken

I recently ate dinner at a restaurant in downtown Washington D.C., Birch and Barley. I was there with a group from work and we had a unique dining experience called the Beast Feast, which included three whole animals with sides, a charcuterie platter, and amazing beer pairings. This was a fantastic meal and one I recommend if you are […]
Tasty Thai Chili Pork Stir Fry

Recently I have added yet another new toy to my Big Green Egg set up and that is the Large Spider from the Ceramic Grill Store. This new gadget will allow me drop in my Cast Iron Wok to Stir Fry directly over the coals! I was excited to give my latest addition a test run […]
Big Green Egg Curry Brined Chicken
Chicken
My journey in to brining continues with this delicious recipe. I have seen people soak their chicken in buttermilk before and wanted to try this technique out for myself. With the success of my last post for Brined Pork Chops I turned my attention to chicken. I read up on brining techniques for chicken and came […]
Big Green Egg Maple Brined Pork Chops
Pork
I have to admit it (so please don’t tell anyone) that before this cook I had yet to brine anything before grilling it. I had read articles on both the pros and the the cons of brining, so I just assumed I could get great flavor in other ways… which I have. Recently however my daughter gave me a […]
Dizzy Pig Departure Series IPA
Seafood
My good friends at Dizzy Pig Barbeque Company sent me their new line of rubs from their Departure Series. As a craft beer lover, I was interested in cooking with their IPA Hop Infused Seasoning Blend first. I wanted to cook something simple, allowing the focus to be on the rub not the dish. Watching Susan and […]
