    Free Gift Certificate for Wagyu Beef Contest!

    I was just on my favorite Wagyu beef website and noticed that they are running a contest so that you can win up to $150 in gift certificates from them. I'm at work, so I have not had time to read all the rules, but wanted to pass along the contest to you all! (Even though I hope I win! haha)...

    Favorite BBQ Sauce!

    I typically prefer a rub or glaze, rather then a side sauce. I went to Anna Maria Island in Florida to a restaurant called "Mr. Bones" that was all about BBQ. They refused to give condiments because they said the food was good just as it was served, and although they may have meant it in a silly...

    Best Timing For a Brisket & Best Cooking methods

    Hmmm..... interesting idea. I never thought of that. Thanks for the advice, everyone! It looks like it will be cut up into 2-3 parts and one part will be in the smoker this weekend!

    Best Timing For a Brisket & Best Cooking methods

    Thank you for your reply, Pkerchef. Brisket is an unfamiliar meat to me, so I am very lost. I figured the smoker would be best, but since I have to do it at my friend's home instead of my own, I hoped maybe one of the other two options would work. But, in the end, it is most important to cook...

    Best Timing For a Brisket & Best Cooking methods

    My mother recently became aware of my new addiction to this Wagyu beef website, so she bought me a really pricey brisket. I'm thankful, but I'm not quite sure the best ways to cook it and how long to cook it. I have a regular electric oven and a gas grill at my immediate disposal, but my friend...

    Fruits on the grill

    Really? I've tried this, but always baked in an oven. I assume you mean slow-cooked with the lid down? Do you sear off the apples and pears directly on the grill before putting them in the pan? I'd love more details. Thanks!

    Fruits on the grill

    I have actually never grilled any fruit before with the exception of having some papaya on a skewer once. We had just harvested our first papaya off the tree, and wanted to use it in as many ways as possible. I will have to start trying to grill with fruit more often because the papaya worked...

    Hello From Florida!

    @Roadkill Cafe - Nice one. I work in Aventura, so I go to Deer--- oops, I'm sorry Beerfield Beach often. @Humdinger - Yes, it's true, we can be. I am still a huge animal lover, but I understand two things now...first of all, if I am the only one that gives up meat, that is hardly going to...

    Buying steaks online

    Definitely do Supercenter Chef! I actually went back and got some Wagyu ground beef from them (running a little low on cash myself, so had to keep it more simple this time!) and we used some for burgers, and then my husband made Picadillo. SO DELICIOUS. I might have to get a second job to feed...

    Hello From Florida!

    Hi! My name is Apryl, and I live in Florida. I actually used to be a vegetarian, but then met my chef husband while I was in college. He definitely converted me to a meat eater! Now, 8 years later, I feel very connected to food of all types. We do however love to grill with two of our friends...

    Buying steaks online

    Hi! I know! It's really hard to find great steaks online, especially Waygu beef, to buy for an affordable price. My husband is a chef, so I used to be a little intimidated about handling gourmet meat like that on my own, but after all these years, I'm starting to feel like a pro. I have...
