Get Your Grill On

Ask folks about chili and things get heated quick. Everyone has their opinion about what makes a great chili and everyone thinks their chili is the best in the world. I’m not about to wade into that fray except to say this: Unless you are brain dead, you can make good chili. If you are […]

It will probably come as no surprise to our readers out there, but I like to fire up the old grill from time to time. After all, this site is called Get Your Grill On. One of my pet peeves, though, is flipping through a magazine or tuning into a cooking show and […]

Before I get too carried away telling you about this smoky, crispy hunk of pork, a little explanation is probably in order. I call this Cuban “Style” Pork and not Cuban Pork because I don’t want anyone out there calling me out on grounds of authenticity. I’ve never been to Cuba, I don’t know anyone […]

This originally appeared on Sugar and Lard and is writen by our own Scott Phillips.

This is one of my favorite dishes, and one that (for me) has a long and convoluted history. For a city of almost half a million people (the greater metro area, at least) we’re not exactly overrun with Vietnamese restaurants. By […]

For those of you who enjoyed the grilled shrimp and roasted oysters that I posted last week, here is some more shellfish action for you. This dish was actually one of those “Plan B” meals that sometimes happen when things don’t go quite the way you plan.

Not to take anything away from Todd and Michael’s pizzas, here’s another pizza post. 
Henceforth, I think all my entries here may be entitled “Best ______ Recipe EVER!!!”  Whether my recipe for hummus is in fact “The Best Ever” is debatable, it certainly gets more hits than anything else here.  What’s more, almost everyone who winds up here in […]

Down in New Orleans that have this wonderful thing called Lagniappe. Lagniappe is “a little something extra” thrown in to sweeten a potential deal or to let a customer know they are appreciated. We all like extras when we can get them, so I’m going to share an easy way to get tons […]

I realize that this forum is dedicated to all things grilled and smoked, but I’ve had cole slaw on my mind of late, and if you’ll indulge me, I need to get this off my chest. I recently had occasion to stop by a local barbeque joint (and I mean joint in the best […]
