    Help me sell BBQ sandwiches..

    IMO, a handcrafted sandwich is one where all the ingredients are made from scratch in your kitchen as opposed to one made from ingredients brought in by your food supplier.

    Help me sell BBQ sandwiches..

    Will your customers pay for a hand crafted sandwich? Stick with a proven recipe rather than a custom recipe that is difficult to reproduce consistently. What happens if you are not there to cook and prep?

    Thoughts On "Griddle Grill?"

    In restaurant kitchens this is called a flat top. You want as heavy a grilling surface as you can afford, and that meets your portability needs. A light weight surface will likely warp under continuous use.

    Buying a whole side of beef vs. raising a calf?

    After the kids or grandkids bond with Angus the calf are you willing to take it to the butcher, or explain why ol' Angus is no longer peacefully grazing in the pasture? Stick with a side of beef, graded, cut, ground, wrapped and stored in the freezer. The kids will love you.

    Commercial Seasonings

    On their #7 blend they list red pepper as ingredient number 2 which means it's the primary ingredient after salt and along with black pepper might be a bit hot for some tastes. Does anyone know the sodium content of the #6 and #7 blends? With salt listed as the first ingredient, I'm assuming...

    Cast Iron Dutch Oven secreting sticky substance

    I never cook with used cast iron, except for a few family pieces with known history. You never know when someone in the past melted lead wheel weights in a piece to cast bullets. Even some old family pieces aren't used became I can't be sure Grandpa didn't use it to cast miniballs for his fellow...

    Ground beef chili - how to add smoke flavor?

    I hickory smoke a variety of hot and sweet peppers from the garden each summer, then grind and mix them for my chili powders (very hot to very mild powders). I've found that my mix of smoked chili powder and smoked paprika gives my chili sufficient smoke flavor for all but the most hard core...

    Lodge comes though

    A couple weeks ago the black plastic know on my Lodge dutch oven broke, after 20 years of use. I email Lodge last week asking where to get a replacement. Today, I received a replacement metal knob, no charge.

    I have cooked high heat in a wok in a professional kitchen with a Chinese chef at my elbow yelling more GGS, MORE GGS! WORK FASTER, WORK FASTER. The burner looked and roared like the exhaust end of an F-16. The heat in the small kitchen was oppressive even with the AC and exhaust on full blast...
