Last summer, we went on an overland adventure to the Glass Mountain Range which is directly across from the Sierra Nevada escarpment. At our campsite at 9000 feet, we set up the Mojoe Griddle and proceeded to cook up some awesome tacos al pastor using marinated pork from our local Mexican...

As some of you may know, Baja is a magical place. It has stunning deserts like nowhere else and two very different yet wild and beautiful seas. The best part of Baja for me is the people that you meet there - locals, expats and travelers. On my last trip to Baja last month with my buddy and...

The last full moon on November 14 was designated a "Super Moon" because the moon's orbit brought it to it closer to the Earth than it has in about 67 years. This rare event made me want to get "out there" and celebrate it's rising with what is arguably the world's best steak: The Spencer Steak...

When I was out in California's high desert recently, I felt like a Patty Melt! (No, I just wanted to eat one!) I had just scored a loaf of artisan sourdough and went to our freezer to see about some hamburger. Well, not only did I find a package of hamburger, I also found some Hot Links AND some...

Skirt steak (or "flap meat") is one of my most favorite cuts of beef. It is super tender, has good marbling and really takes to a marinade! Because it is relatively thin, I have found that the key to cooking it is to hit it hot, hard and fast on very high heat so that the outside is...

I recently went out to the desert house with my two buddies and ended up in a competition to determine who could make the best gourmet burger on the Mojoe Griddle . The theme for the throw-down was the we had to use a bacon weave! We used an old "L" code Weber 22.5 (1989) as the heat source that...

I recently took a 4x4 overlanding camping trip through some very remote areas of Death Valley NP. At one of our campsites, I cooked up some amazing crispy/gooey Reubens for my group of five hungry dudes on my Mojoe Griddle. The day before our trip, I baked a corned beef brisket that I bought on...

Last October, my buddy Brian and I took a 1500 mile camping trip to Southern Utah, We traversed about 250 miles of 4x4 trails on this journey and saw very few humans in the far outback of Utah. We resolved to eat well, of course! At one of the incredible campsites we found, I cooked up a simple...

When I was a kid, my mom would sometimes make us one of my favorite treats when we started whining about being hungry. She took a small cube of cheese, dropped it in the frying pan and melted/fried it into crispy goodness. I decided to take this simple treat and complicate it or, I guess I...

Over the holidays, my buddies Kris and Brian and John went to San Quintin in Baja for five days. Awesome trip! We acquired and cooked a lot of different same day fresh sea foods – lobster, oysters, Yellow Fin, Rock Cod and Pismo Clams! The highlight of the trip though was that we were invited...

Last August, my buddies Brian and Jimmy (and my dog Nikki) took a trip into the far outback of the White Mountains in CA. The White Mountains are a little known mountain range on the eastern side of the Owens Valley directly across from the Sierra Nevada. This range is in the "Rain Shadow" of...

My long-time buddy, my dog and I recently took an overlanding/camping trip to Southern Utah. We spent a whole week exploring the far outback 4x4 trails in the Escalante Grand Staircase NM and Capitol Reef NP. The weather was perfect and the scenery, spectacular! During one long stretch of 80...

I recently subscribed to a great cooking magazine called "Cooks Illustrated". This magazine has no advertising and is all about cooking techniques and most importantly, how and why combining food ingredients with cooking technique creates flavor and texture. Every recipe in the Mag tells a...

My buddy Kris and I took a glorious trip to Baja a couple of weeks ago and cooked a lot of fresh seafood on the patio in front of our "Old Mill Hotel" room in San Quintin. We got our oysters right out of the clear waters of San Quintin Bay just a few hours before they were transformed into...

I was recently camping in the desert East of the 29 Palms Marine Base in CA. On one of the mornings, we decided to make some pancakes over our campfire using my Mojoe Griddle. I was camping with a longtime buddy and his two college boys who grew up camping with me and their Dad way-out in the...

I recently had to cook boneless Ribeye Steaks for our party of six out in the desert. I decided to use my wash tub fire pit and Mojoe Griddle to put some serious sear on those bad boys! I made a video of the cook and decided to keep my mouth shut and let the meat do all the talking. Here's the...

I made some chili last weekend that turned out amazing! I used fresh tomatoes, corn on the cob and fresh chilies/onions instead of the canned variety found in most chilies. The only canned items were the beans - black and kidney and a small can of chipoltle peppers in adobo sauce. I cooked it...
