Beef Ribs


As much as I love pork ribs, sometimes it’s nice to switch things up. These beef ribs came from the back of a prime rib roast. They look a lot like huge spareribs, hence the nickname “dino ribs.”
I coated the rack with a little balsamic vinegar, dusted it with a Texas-style beef rib rub, and […]

Charcoal and the Model T


Henry Ford was a damn good entrepreneur. One of the by-products of making Model Ts was a lot of scrap wood. Now good ol’ Henry said to himself - how can I make a dollar out of that scrap wood? How about making charcoal? Yeah - that’s it - charcoal. And that’s how Kingsford Charcoal […]

Grill Fried Chicken


You’ve heard of chicken fried steak? Well this is grill fried chicken. The long cook over indirect heat renders the fat out the skin so you get the crispy goodness and a juicy inside of traditionally fried chicken plus all the smoke and spice of the grill.

1 cut-up broiler/fryer chicken
2 cups low fat buttermilk
1-2T hot […]

Tuna Confit


I got the idea for this dish after having some truly exceptional Portuguese tuna that had been canned in olive oil. It had a great rich flavor and a firm texture that was very moist.
To recreate this at home, I decided to go with something a little more complex and earthy. I started with 2 […]

Puerco Pibil


This is my version of the classic slow-cooked pork dish that we’ve enjoyed many times when visiting Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula. I’ve adapted it to work well on either a smoker or on a grill set up for indirect cooking. This dish relies on achiote paste for a lot of its flavor. This blend of annatto […]

This is my father in-law’s recipe and it produces one of the absolute best chicken flavors I have ever tasted. My father-in-law loves to BBQ and does so on the side for fun. He’s got the BBQ and only uses the best mesquite charcoal and the results are just fabulous works of flavorful food. I […]

Prawns As Big As Your Head!


Ok, maybe not that big, but each one was more than a quarter pound! That’s a lot o’ prawn! My wife and I found these at Jungle Jim’s in Fairfield, Ohio, and I couldn’t pass them up.

I wanted to do something a little different with these than just boil them and dip them […]
