re: Swamp pop soda review

ginger ale is really good, the others are a bit too sweet for my taste. I have been on a 30 diet with no sugar so I might just be hypersensitive to sugar right now.

re: Why Do So Many BBQ Restaurants Serve Only White Bread?
Posted by boucanierejohnsons on 8/10/13 at 9:28 am
Personally for me anything but plain white bread interferes with the BBQ. I don't want anything competing with the Q. Same goes with BBQ Sauce. Why put smoke flavoring in the sauce when you're taking a lot of time to choose different types of wood to smoke with, but hey that's my 2 cents....
re: Anyone been to the new Lafayayette Social Club bar & restaraunt yet?
Posted by boucanierejohnsons on 6/25/13 at 1:16 pm
went there last friday for lunch. The two standouts for me were the pork belly sliders and the fried green tomato apps. I also had the Reuben which was good, but I prefer smoked pastrami over corned beef. Over all everything was solid. ...

Tiger, thanks for the kind words. i'll pass your message on to Lori. We have a small kitchen and it's pretty hard for us to add sides because our steam table is only four feet, but we will try to do that in the near future. If we do i will post it on our calendar which you can access from our web...
re: Big Green egg VS ?
Posted by boucanierejohnsons on 6/5/13 at 4:27 pm
thanks for the info. The exterior walls and roof is heavy gauge galvalume. And the porch is not enclosed. I do have a section that is not covered - after seeing this video that would probably be a good place to put the grill.

It's actually a covered porch on the second floor. I have an architectural firm on the first floor so our main living area starts on the second floor. It has a solid aluminum deck. It's quite large 12' x 36'. I have access to grills and smokers at my restaurant, but I want something that I can u...

oval makes sense. Giving the wife a hint that buying me yet another grill is a good idea for fathers day. Although, I have large smokers, a percy pit and two knock off pery pits. I will use this grill for my personnel use, mainly direct cooking....

re: Your BBQ grill may have more germs than a toilet seat
Posted by boucanierejohnsons on 5/25/13 at 12:01 pm
JEEZ I use my pits every week. My Grill temp is still very high after grilling . I clean my pit immediately after i use it, and every good pit-master does. Maybe the Brits should worry more about their dental hygene instead of a good pit-masters grill...

re: Lets discuss beef jerky.....
Posted by boucanierejohnsons on 4/9/13 at 5:05 pm
Jerky sales for 25-30 bucks a pound because first you trim it, then you brine it for three days, hang it and smoke for 6 hours, take it off of the racks, and then package it. It take three pounds to make one pound and it's labor intensive. ...
