    Faux Burnt Ends

    As I understand it, places like Arthur Bryants in KC use both flats and points to make their burnt ends. As long as it's an untrimmed flat, you shouldn't have a problem making burnt ends of it.

    6/30 Episode of Top Chef

    The chef that got eliminated, Tracey Bloom, has a fantastic restaurant here in Atlanta, Table 1280. I've been there twice in the last couple of months and was blown away. First time, I had a veal burger that was incredibly juicy, served with a side of thick-cut steak frites. Second time, I...

    Georgia > Atlanta: Fox Bros. BBQ

    Fox Brothers BBQ has had the respect of some of the Atlanta foodies for a couple of years now. I've been meaning to try it, and finally got the chance a couple of weeks ago. The brothers themselves are from Texas, so I would expect excellent brisket, but they do the full BBQ joint menu...

    Well Done Steaks

    I think the reason people get so worked up over this is that both camps are hellbent on their opinion and cannot be swayed. The majority of well done people absolutely refuse to eat anything less than well done. Won't even try it. Cringe at the thought. And they let it be known that they...

    Roadside Chicken

    Just did this recipe again for a couples' wedding shower yesterday. Three cut-up fryers. All gone. I think I mastered the cook on the OTG with this recipe. I got my charcoal pretty dang hot and cooked direct for few minutes to char the skin, then let it rest awhile indirect to cook...

    Smoke wood in Atlanta?

    Tom, have you checked around the corner from you at Casual Image? They're not the cheapest around but I bought some bagged apple from them last summer that worked out alright. It'll do in a pinch, plus they are only about 5 minutes from your hosue.

    Question for next weekends cook (Easter)

    Nathan! What's up man! I think the above guys have good ideas. I did two butts ahead of time last Christmas for my wife's office party. She took a crockpot to work and reheated it with a little chicken broth. Rave reviews. We'll have to get together sometime over some Q, man. Been a real...

    Spirit e310 won't sear?

    Odd problem. I just got a Spirit E-310 2 weeks ago and with all three burners on max, it sears unlike any other outdoor grill I've owned. I wish I had taken some pictures of the filets I cooked last night. It makes incredible grill marks, even with the stock porcelain steel grates. I have...

    Brisket and how to make burnt ends question

    Yeah, don't use foil with your burnt ends. Foil retains moisture. You want the meat to dry out and become chewy, almost jerky-like.

    Choices - refurbish my Char Broil, buy a new cheapie, or a new Spirit?

    I just checked the FAQ on Weber's site about grills not lighting. Humidity and wet weather was mentioned - sure enough, we've been a bit deluged here in Georgia the last few days. I'll give it another shot once it dries up.

    Choices - refurbish my Char Broil, buy a new cheapie, or a new Spirit?

    And just like I had predicted, no photos. Whew, what a long day. The first cook was burgers. I was pretty tired and didn't want to work too hard behind a grill, and these seemed like a simple and cheap solution. The unit was delivered via UPS Ground on Friday with no damage. It went...

    LOL... I don't take photos of anything very often.. last thing on my mind is photos while I'm cooking!

    Choices - refurbish my Char Broil, buy a new cheapie, or a new Spirit?

    Choice has been made. I ordered the Spirit E-310 off HD online. Even at $395 including tax and shipping, it's still quite a bargain over the $550 (inc. tax) for the 2009 model in-store. I'd have loved to have a Genesis, but that $395 is about all the wife could handle right now. I'll...

    Choices - refurbish my Char Broil, buy a new cheapie, or a new Spirit?

    Pat, thanks for the opinion. I've seen a couple Genesis grills come up the last couple of days, all a bit higher than what I'd really like to spend on an older grill. Like you say, 8 years old and $200 is a bit steep. The Home Depot special on the Spirit E-310 is still super tempting. The...

    Choices - refurbish my Char Broil, buy a new cheapie, or a new Spirit?

    Alright! After throwing out a want ad on craigslist, I found a guy about 15 miles from me selling a 7 or 8 year old Genesis 3-burner. Says it's in fantastic condition, cooks perfectly, and that it has the plastic side tables. He wants $200 for it. I think that sounds a little on the high...

    Choices - refurbish my Char Broil, buy a new cheapie, or a new Spirit?

    Hey all, I've actually had great luck with my 4 year old, $129 Wal-Mart special Char-Broil gasser. I'm surprised it has lasted as long as it has. It has always gotten up to temp quickly for me, puts a great sear on a steak, and has decently even heating. But a couple weeks ago, the regulator...

    Smoking at work (in and around Atlanta)...

    Always wondered about that place... sometimes I'm a little wary of meat stores that pretty much only sell pre-seasoned/stuffed items. It's not far from my work, so I'll give it a shot sometime. Thanks for the heads up, Keith.
