 | re: Billy's Boudin Scott,La - Tigersminus21 on 10/22/12 at 1:37 pm
Billy's is my personal favorite Boudin. His Krotz Springs store is on the way to my hunting lease and I eat it far more than I should during hunting season. It's definitely a legit Acadaina boudin shop, unlike some of the tourist traps....

| re: How to mantain temperature in smoker with charcoal?? - Tigersminus21 on 10/19/12 at 8:41 am
One other thing that helps is to drill some holes in your charcoal pan to increase airflow. I used to have a smoker just like yours and It had a terrible problem with the ash from the top coals smothering the fire out. If you use lump charcoal instead of briquettes, it will help too becuase it pro...

| re: Looking for a simple homemade dressing to go with grilled shrimp salad.... - Tigersminus21 on 10/12/12 at 2:59 pm
I think Sensation dressing is pretty much the Alpha dressing. Easy to make and really tasty.
Some people would say it's too punchy for something delicate like shrimp. I say not.
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup olive oil
2 tbsps lemon juice
3 cloves garlic, minced and mashed
2 tbsps white vin...

| re: What to smoke? - Tigersminus21 on 10/12/12 at 11:29 am
I smoke by temp, not time but usually brisket and butt take me about 10 hours of smoking time. I did pulled pork for the Auburn game. I put them on around 7ish and they were ready for game time....

| re: What to smoke? - Tigersminus21 on 10/12/12 at 11:11 am
That's not enough time to do brisket or pork butt.
Spare ribs, you can do in 6hrs
Babybacks, you can do in 5 hrs
Pork Loin, you can do in 4 hrs
Chicken, you can do in 4 hours
I, personally am doing chicken in keeping with the "Gamecock" theme.

| re: Suggestion for French Quarter restaurant needed - Tigersminus21 on 10/11/12 at 4:35 pm
Try the Bon Ton Cafe'. Solid old school New Orleans food. Prices are not crazy, staff is friendly. Atmosphere is cozy and a bit dated but that's part of the charm IMO. Catfish bites for the table followed by some turtle soup and crabmeat au gratin is as solid a meal as you will get anywhere....

Make a little roux, except stop it way short of what you would use for gumbo. Get it to about the color of peanut butter. Get your liquid up to a boil and whisk in the roux a little at at a time until it's the right consistency. Way better than straight flour....

I think Gino's is what you are looking for. I consider it one of the best restaurants in BR. Waitstaff are pros and the dining room runs like a well oiled machine. The menu is what you would expect from an old school American - Italian restaurant and they execute it flawlessly. (as they should af...
