Dishes, restaurants, smokers, etc . . .

Mine will be somewhat modest, but:

1) New Orleans Smoked Sausage (for a mass-marketed product this stuff is very good)
2) Jalapeno Corn Bread at H-E-B
3) Killens S&P Rub (just a dalmatian rub but comes in handy and we use it on more than BBQ)

#1 An Apple/Peach/Nectarine Orchard in Pontotoc, MS we did not know was there.



#2 Very very thin sliced ribeyes, marinated with balsamic and then quick grilled over charcoal, with caramelized (30 minutes) onions and mustard/mayo/horseradish dressing to make a Ribeye Poboy




#3 & 4 A Lemon cookie recipe the wife evolved into a tasty new treat for me. Then she applied the same concepts to chocolate! I guess that is two discoveries and turns my list to four.



#5 How good a cold/cold PBR still is - hadn't had one in maybe 40 years (I guess that makes 5).

-Florida grocery stores don’t have pork liver in the cooler. You have to specifically ask for it. I spent about a month cooking in Celebration at a “cajun restaurant” and made boudin balls for them, or “fried cajun meatballs” as they were labeled on the brunch menu.

-how to make a really delicious chicken fry batter

-a person is capable of eating breakfast tacos every single workday morning since Thanksgiving and still find them delicious. Slightly burnt tortillas are the shite as well.

36. Had a bad night that turned into an awful weekend with Jim Beam back in college. Hadn't had anything stronger than beer ever since. Had a few pours of Blantons last year and discovered that not all bourbons taste like shite and now that I have a little more self control I actually enjoy it. After lurking the mega thread for suggestions I've found a few more that I like.

It has the salt, black pepper, and just the right amount of garlic. I use it most when I reverse sear or sous vide because it makes a really good crust when I sear it.

Lately I’ve used a double dip dry, wet and dry. Seasoned chicken with black pepper, salt, cayenne and garlic powder and then flour. Wet batter is slurry mixture (Pancake batter basically), egg, dijon mustard, hot sauce. Dry mixture is 2/3 flour, 1/3 panko, heavy on cayenne, black pepper. So flour, pat off, wet dip, bury in panko mixture and flip a few times, dont pat off excess. Ive been liking boneless chicken thighs pounded out a little and fried in a cast iron skillet with about 1/4” of oil.

1. Harissa slathered on the pita bread of a gyro makes an already incredible gyro even better.

2. Carolina mustard based bbq sauce is better than the hickory sauces I've called my favorite all my life.

3. I discovered the TD F&D board within the past year and it's, by far, my favorite forum on this site. I've learned a lot of great cooking tips and recipes from y'all.

My favorite has been jack miller my whole life until my wife introduced me to that vinegar mustard sauce from the Georgia / Carolina region. When we go there we always come home with a gallon of it.

I have discovered that people outside of the vile platte- kinder - Lafayette triangle hate jack millers. It is not just a preference against it but they downright just don’t like it.
