To all the cooks

[Brasky]

I would just say I have never been one to deal with "presentation" because I know when the food is put on the plate the taste is going to blow you away.

My menu I would put up against anything you have?

Pulled Pork sandwiches (smoked with hickory and my honey bourbon baste, well some things are stolen but I ain't saying what)
Smoked Beans (Known as baked beans but my best ones are put on the smoker with the pork butts and allowed to barely simmer for hours)
Tater Salad (This one is Isis' and I have never seen one person say they have had a better potato salad)
Cole Slaw (yeah it's a bottled sauce but yeah it is good)

Presentation? Grab that Styrofoam plate and get in line. Taste? Had one person who had come from the National barbeque festival in Memphis just before coming o my daughters wedding that we catered that my pulled pork was better than anything they had there. And they don't need to comment on the beans. The fact that nuthin is left says it all.

That's my menu and I'll put it up against anything you can "present"

That's because Nebraskan's know their down home shit. Not even the south can compete.

Didn't follow you there. I brought my Nebraskan roots to Tennessee.

If that is the down home shit you speak of then damn right!! there ain't supposed to be no pickle juice in tater salad!!!!

Poor? You obviously don't know me very well.

Other than a few posts I don't know you at all, or you me.
But I can cook very well, and I think for you to make the statement that you can cook better than 99% of Hooplans without tasting anyones cooking is assnine..

I was cookin' some burgers on the stove (I'm out of propane for the grill and too lazy to get more atm). I was gonna throw some beer in the pan to keep 'em juicy. I saw the pickle jar in the fridge and threw on some pickle juice instead. End result.......WIN!

:charlie:


Anyone else tried it?

No. But I've cooked Brats in beer before. PBR

You're in the challenge then sir..

We were drunk and starvin' like Marvin and thought it would be a good idea. Turned out to be the best bratwurst's ever.

We boil them in beer, then throw them on the grill just to brown them up..
You did good and didn't even know that's the proper way to do them...Genius I say.

Ok, I need to know. IN Nebraska you could get featherbones. They are the tips cut off of ribs.
We would take and boil them in beer and then grill them. I haven't even seen feather bones down here. Was that just an Omaha thing?

Think so, never heard of 'em.

I'm pretty awesome around a grill and smoker also !

 

[HuskerInSecLand]

Man, they were made for beer. Just little pieces of bone with meat that you suck right off. Had to have a beer beside them though. That was South Omaha cuisine

 

[ladyrockess]

I call shenanigans, I can cook up a storm! I have to say, a SportsHoopla Meeting/Cookoff could turn out to be all sorts of interesting.

Of course, if it were all grilling I might not come out so well, since I'm not allowed to grill at home - that's Dad's province.

Sound tasty! Headin' over.

On a side note, I went to NC recently. I tried two different BBQ places recommended by the locals and I must say they were horrible. So disappointed.

I went to some famous place in Memphis and it was great - not my style - but great all the same.

Can't remember to save my life. Near the bball stadium, you enter through a side alley.
