Hello to the world of BBQ!
For 2010 I decided to forgo the usual new year’s resolutions and decided to dedicate the next year to BBQ. I have always been good with food. Cooking it. Eating it. Sharing it. I also love learning about it.
My fascination with BBQ started because of the look on anyone’s face when they bite into a great piece of BBQ. I mean the kind of bite when you stop chewing and your eyes rollback into your head and you’re struck silent and at best your words are reduced to a mumbled cry of “Nom nom hmmm.” Where our ancestral genes are triggered and all thoughts of utensils are abolished and fingers are better because they’re faster. That’s real BBQ and that’s what I want to learn to make.
BBQ is everywhere but Real BBQ is a quest. Living in Idaho makes such a quest even harder. Don’t get me wrong we love BBQ here in Idaho and we have some great places to eat but it is not a traditional BBQ region. My goal this year is to not only learn about BBQ but I want to go beyond the backyard and even compete.
So in this Blog you’ll find my journey from finding the right cooker. To the recipes I’ll try. To good and bad. So if you BBQ pros out there have any good tips for me please let me know. This is my journey but you are all invited to come with me.
