All day red with some chunked up pepperoni.

Ready for the oven


Reduced


I rehydrated it with some reserved pasta water before adding the noodles. I don’t have my pasta roller yet and didn’t feel like rolling by hand so I cheated and used some boxed Cavatappi. Delish!

[Richard Chrz]

Love it!

[barelfly]

I bet that flavor is fantastic! The concentration of all that goodness!

[Smoke n Beers]

Love pasta and that looks especially appetizing.

Tonight’s dinner consisted of some epically good Vortex Fried Chicken, courtesy of Attjack ‘s recipe he posted a couple of years ago:

I changed things up a little as pickle juice is hard to come by and I didn’t want to buy a gallon jar of pickles like last summer, so I let it soak in buttermilk overnight - about 24 hours. I missed the pickle flavor but feel the results were just as good and juicy.

Ran the cook on the Performer with all vents wide open and a full chimney of B&B briquettes.



Sprayed with avacado oil spray towards end of cook. Most of the breading stayed on and was crispy. Total grill time about 35 minutes.

[jfmorris]

Attjack the buttermilk - something I have never really used myself - is so thick I just kinda blotted excess off in a pile of paper towels, still leaving a good bit, then sprayed with some avacado oil and then dredged in the flour mix. Sprayed again towards end of the cook. Did all the flouring on the Performer side table, and right onto the grill.

[jfmorris]

This is gonna be dinner for a few nights, reheated in the air fryer…. I couldn’t pass up all those thighs for $7 at Sam’s.

[Smoke n Beers]

Perfectly cooked and looking delicious.

Mom is out town this evening so I invited dad to the house for some Malcolm Reed Sausage Seasoned Ribs on the Pit Barrel Cooker...I will definitely be making these again...

[Michael_in_TX]

I nearly did those ribs last week!

[BKYDBBQ]

Michael_in_TX they were pretty tasty...especially if you like ribs that are more savory than sweet...

[tbob4]

Which bone was dad's? HA Looks great.

[Richard Chrz]

Spoiled ourselves tonight. Busted butt in the kitchen meal planning today. Tons of prep work for the next week or three.
With that being said, I had a dry brine on 2 Chuck eye steaks, that I eventually rubbed with a bit of fish sauce and then vacu sealed and SV for an hour. Fired up a few coals to get some oak splits fired up, patted the steaks dry, and rubbed with my steak rub. Flame seared over oak. Grill roasted some carrots and potatoes topped with green onion and fresh grated Manchego and hired a friend to bake a cake for my wife and I.

[Clawbear57]

Busy bee and the plate I want to eat it. The cake is beautiful.

[Smoke n Beers]

I think the end result was well worth the effort. Great meal right there,

[Elton's BBQ]

Amen!

[Skip]

Salmon Burnt Ends. I was inspired by a recipe from Hey Grill Hey and followed the recipe some what. A good appetizer IMO.

[Elton's BBQ]

Looks fantastic!

[Smoke n Beers]

Tried to wrap my mind around this. Looks delicious but...salmon? OK. I'll go the extra mile. Don't know till ya give it try.

[HawkerXP]

Chuckie!

[Clawbear57]

Very good.

[Elton's BBQ]

Y U M

[Smoke n Beers]

Looks delicious. Well done.

Did an Easter mean with my side if the family tonight. They’re heading to the Florida panhandle in a few days. I meant to keep the steaks separate and have my family vote on which one they liked the most. That’s wine for you. A combo of steaks too. I picked up some boneless rib-eyes from Costco (prime) some grass fed from Mariano’s (Kroger) and some choice rib-eyes for the kids. My wife did the potatoes and it was awesome. All of it was great. I threw a chunk of cherry and hickory in the SNS and I’ve been rocking the Costco pellets for quite some time. Love the price. All in all great meal.

[Clawbear57]

Hey long lost brother my invite got lost in the mail,next time!!

[RonB]

I have a colonoscopy scheduled for this Wed, and am a low fiber diet until then. There are some other restrictions too, but I will survive. I had to suffer through a choice filet tonight along with some over cooked veggies, (per the doc).



You can see how juicy the steak was in this photo.

[Clawbear57]

My Dr. never told me that.

[Finster]

I don't remember those instructions either 🤷♀️
BTW, those veggies don't look overcooked to me. They look nicely caramelized

[Bogy]

My wife's on a permanent low fiber diet. Fortunately, meat is low fiber.

[Finster]

Smoked some half racks of baby backs on the PBC..

[HawkerXP]

..., ..., ...!

[Clawbear57]

Looks good and nice pull back.

[Smoke n Beers]

They look perfectly done and take a chunk of either one in a heartbeat. Nice job. Looks like I'm going to have to up my game if I'm going to hang with you all.

[Panhead John]

Haven’t had a ribeye in a while, they’re so good done rare/medium rare! As usual, reverse seared with the vortex…

[Panhead John]

Clawbear57 You got it bro!

[tbob4]

No A1 sauce or ketchup?

[Smoke n Beers]

Nice looking piece of meat before and after the cook.

[Jim White]

Meathead's Moroccan Lamb Mechoui Style. So good!



Read more about this cook here, where I'm trying to start a thread where we can talk about an especially memorable meal and cook a tribute to it.

Muffuletta with homemade bread.

[jfmorris]

Sorry, but having just recently discovered that I could buy the olive spread used on muffuletta's at the store, I think it makes the sandwich. So I gotta disagree - although I understand some folks just hate olives. I found it just looking for something to stuff a flank steak with...

I always loved the muffuletta at Jason's. And the original at Schlottsky's has black olives. Now I just gotta duplicate your bread here, and do the entire thing at home! I think I see my next sourdough bake...

[58limited]

jfmorris Here is the recipe I used. Would be interesting as a sourdough loaf. http://www.nolacuisine.com/2005/08/2...-bread-recipe/

[jfmorris]

Thanks!

I think of sourdough with this type bread, as that is what Schlottsky's uses, and I've been eating those sandwiches since the early 80's.

[theroc]

Reverse seared bone-in Sakura pork chops on the SnS.

[Clawbear57]

What jfmorris said. Amazing.

[tbob4]

You make the color of food really stand out! It sure looks good.

[Mballmond]

Oh that’s sexy

[SheilaAnn]

No instant pot. No crock pot. No shortcuts. Straight up pot roast low and slow in the oven. House still smells amazing. Roasted green beans.



thats BF’s plate. I can’t stand cooked carrots. 🤣

[Smoke n Beers]

Love old school. That meal looks and I am certain tastes great.

[texastweeter]

Got one on deck for Wednesday. Hope its 1/2 as good as yours looks.

[Finster]

I love pot roast, or at least what I call pot roast....
I don't add potatoes or carrots, i just brown the beef on all sides and then braise. Either stove top (usually), or in the oven. I don't like potatoes cooked with beef 🤷♂️, and definitely don't like cooked carrots. I cook the taters separately and then mash em. Comfort food at it's best

[Spinaker]

Pizza in the oven. Quail eggs, red onion, cheese and sausage!

[Spinaker]

Thanks! It is great. We've made a lot of great food in that baby!

[tbob4]

Bravo! Great photo!!

[Spinaker]

Thanks, Ted! tbob4
