Although we don’t do it too often, I’m a big fan of roasting shellfish on the grill.  Recently, for a birthday celebration, I turned to a new cookbook and went with Roasted Clams.  The recipe could not be simpler and in a short time, we were enjoying delicious buttery morsels along with the rest of […]

I like to grill things that show off the flavors of the food, not just the flavors of the rubs and sauces. Really good ingredients don’t always need to be covered up with added flavors; they do better with just enhancing with spice.
A great example of this is cedar planking. I’ve had cedar […]

While this doesn’t pass muster as grilling or barbeque, I made similar shrimp dishes over a campfire many times. Enjoy!

Entered this at a BBQ contest in Burlington, Kansas and placed 3rd out of thirty teams. I got the idea from Good Eats. The capers and lemon zest were add ons to Alton Brown’s recipe. The sauce was made on a Weber Kettle grill in a sauce pan. I’ve never made […]

Father’s Day was this past weekend and we decided to splurge a little bit. Costco had wild sea scallops available for $9.99 a lb and my daughter and I bought some for me to cook for my special dinner. What? You cooked your own meal on Father’s Day? Yup, I sure did. It was one […]

One of my favorite BBQ contests of the year is the BarBeQlossal held during the 2007 World Pork Expo in Des Moines, IA. This is our fourth year of competing and it gets better every time.
Day 1 starts on Thursday. The big event for Thursday is a high end, five course cigar dinner for six […]

My nephew went fishing a couple of weeks ago and landed a whopper, a 3.5 kg salmon. He was never going to miss, fishing as he was in a trout and salmon farm at Buxton. Not only did the fish bite hard at his bait, it also bit hard at his parents wallet, costing a […]

Howdy Boys and Girls. Sorry for the break in posting, but GYGO was experiencing some technical issues but we’re back on track now.
We start out this week with a rare post from our Cate……
This past New Years’ Eve, we wanted to make a feast that included lobster. We were lucky enough that the weather […]

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.
My original intent was to cook the roasted oysters […]
