Wild Fork “Turkey” for the Win!

[Reds Fan 5]

The family isn’t crazy about turkey and it’s not my favorite thing to cook. Wild Fork opened a brick and mortar store in Evanston IL where I work.

Our Thanksgiving meal was a Wild Fork 3-bone prime rib roast. Mrs O’s cow crust, KBB, small piece of pecan, 250 degrees until 115 IT, seared over coals. OK Joe Bronco for smoke and sear .Made gravy with the roasted rib roast bones.

First time purchasing a Wild Fork product. Let’s just say working 5 mins from a store is going to be dangerous. First time searing on the Bronco. Generated enough heat and can raise coals close to the grate. The challenge is the grate is relatively small and there is no room to avoid flare ups.

This is the best Thanksgiving “turkey” we’ve ever cooked.

I wondered if you were still around - great looking cook! Yeah, those WF stores are dangerous!

Sid P I’m still here. Busy fall has limited my Bronco time so not much content to share.

I was impressed with Wild Fork.

I was born down the street, I would go home for that!

smokenoob It is on the corner of Main St and Chicago Ave. I work on the NU campus and live in the W Suburbs so I’m rarely on the south side of Evanston. Saw Wild Fork while on another errand. No idea when it opened.

Wind chill in the 20s today so you might want to wait until spring to visit!
