Chocolate bacon --StL spares---Opening Day filet mignon

[Bob Correll]

Homemade bacon chunks, plus almond bark, plus a light sprinkle of sea salt, equals delicious snack.

Sunday's spare ribs.
5 hours at 250 on the 14" WSM with apple and hickory wood.

Sauced with Sugarfire Smokehouse's St Louie Sweet.

Served with beans and mayo-cheese corn.

St Louis Cardinals home opener yesterday called for a special treat, filet mignon.
Gave them some hickory smoke while the bread browned.

No plated shot, long game, but unlike last year's HO this one was a winner, and so were the steaks.

Thanks so much for viewing my post!

That's some FINE dining there, Bob!

And as a Brewers fan - I regret that the FOOD is not the only thing that got "smoked" in St. Louis yesterday.

Gotta' admit that the Cards have had a consistently great team in recent years and have been our "nemesis"...

A winner indeed Bob. Looks mighty delicious. You had me with the chocolate bacon and ribs, but then those filets! Outstanding. PS... really like that mayo-cheese corn too!!

 

[Rich Dahl]

Nice cooks and a great way to start the season. Going to give that mayo corn a try.

Ditto. Awesome looking cooks there Bob. That bacon looks and sounds crazy good.

Bob, the chocolate bacon interesting may have to try that one. Ribs and steak WOW, and the corn will do that as soon as we get some good corn in the stores.

 

[Bob H.]

Gotta say that I would never have thought of putting bacon and chocolate together. But now that I have seen it, it looks amazing!

Go Cubs!
