I remember a while back my wife was watching Food Network and Drive Ins, Diners, and Dives came on. I have to admit i like learning about the food joints they show. Guy Fieri gets on my nerves though. A lot of times he may ask these people that run these restaurants why they do somethings that are unconventional. I guess when you get your own TV show you have to follow a lot of rules in cooking. I have been cooking for a long time now. I have made everything from gourmet seafood dishes to desserts to BBQ. I have had plenty of people tell me I should open a restaurant or go to BBQ competitions. I really don't want to cook for a living. I do it for fun and to see the results I get. I don't want to do BBQ competitions for a few reasons: in any competition people take it way too serious as a lot of folks there own their own BBQ joints, and then there are the rules such as how you cook to presentation. To me what is important is if you have accomplished what you set out to do or maybe even surpass what you set out to do. Did you create something that tastes great? Did you make your guests happy if you had company over to eat your food? I have made a lot of mistakes in my years of cooking BBQ as a hobby. Some turned out to be good mistakes and some turned out pretty bad. I guess my point in this post is to say don't be afraid to break some of the rules because if you don't then you may miss discovering a new way of doing things.
Have a great Independence Day :)
