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 Lemon Garlic Chicken
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 […]
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 […]
EGGtoberfest 2015
Food Exploration
Well, I have been at this Big Green Egg thing for a few years now, and as most of you know, I love the BGE community. I have been to some regional Big Green Egg festivals before but had yet to make the pilgrimage to Atlanta, GA for the mother of all Big Green Egg […]
Big Green Egg Shrimp Tacos
Seafood
I wanted to make something easy and delicious for Taco Tuesday this week featuring seafood. The last recipe I made was for Fish Tacos and that turned out great. This time I set my attention to shrimp and came up with this simple yet savory recipe. Now sit back, grab a cold Tecate, and enjoy […]
Big Green Egg Pork Noodle Bowl

Birthday week continues at Casa De Buddha and this time the focus was on my daughter who turned 23. For her birthday dinner I wanted to cook something special and something I had not done before. I took my inspiration from multiple sources to cobble together this delicious recipe. In addition, I was not intending […]
Big Green Egg Sweet and Sour Chicken Thighs

Well, it was my birthday last week and with that came some thoughtful gifts from my friends and family. My daughter got me a new cookbook from Dr. BBQ – Flavorize that I absolutely love! I decided to cook one of the recipes from this book for dinner last night and it was so good I had to share […]
Big Green Egg SPF53 Chicken Wings
Chicken
While I was away last week Ryan Lane from Lane’s BBQ sent me his new rub to try : SPF53. This rub was to be used and written about on the day of its release Friday September 4, 2015. As I was away, I could not coordinate this with Ryan and had to wait until I […]
Big Green Egg Mixed Grill
Chicken, Seafood
Last Sunday we had some family coming over and wanted to make a mixed grill to feed everyone. For this cook I went with bone-in chicken thighs, shrimp, sausage, potatoes, and corn. The trick to a cook like this is timing and grilling space. No worries as I was able to navigate both and come […]
