Starting it off with some freshly grilled Bacon Cheeseburgers and Tater Tots.

And prepping for tomorrow's smoke.

Great looking burgers.I am on a tot kick lately.I put them on an expanded aluminum pan and mist them with water,then dust them with spog usually.Sometimes Ranch,sometimes rub...
Cheeks...awesome! I'll be watching.

 

[chilerelleno]

Cheeks are kind'a dismaying, after trimming you might get a third to half of usable meat.
But like anything else if you go to a carniceria mexicana for pre-trimmed, you'll pay even more.

Yep. Getting my weekend smoke on too. I'll be watching for the cheek post to come also. Burgers looking good to. Better to see some good stoned ground mustard on that bun than the normal yellow stuff.

I hear ya on the mustard, the plain yellow 'baby shat' works in a pinch.
But I much prefer a good stone ground, preferably with horseradish.

I donno...
Seems kinda cheeky to me, Chile.
If it's from a cow that smiles a lot, does it make the cheek meat tougher?
So confusing!

Well those burgers look fantastic!

The burgers look great. I’ve never had beef cheek, do you kiss it before you eat it? Lol, I’m looking forward to that post!

Funny, which one are you looking forward to, kissing a steer or the actual cheek cook?
The cheeks have been done for a week, that steer though, he is playing hard to get.

Kissing it of course... You have to serenade it before you marinade it!
