Smoked Pork Ribs with Carolina Mustard Sauce
We can all agree that Smoked Pork Ribs are amazing, but the technique and sauce/dry rub is what makes this classic bbq a debatable topic! I have a love for all the flavor profiles and I wanted to share my Smoked Ribs with Carolina Mustard Sauce recipe. WHAT ARE CAROLINA RIBS?

Surf N Turf Steak and Lobster
One of the most combined proteins is known as Surf N Turf, now this combo can include many variables of protein, but for this, we are doing Picahna and Lobster. When lobster goes on sale my wife quickly tosses them into her cart and leaves the beef option to me. I would normally go with ribeye steaks for this cook but another cut of beef, the Picahna, was looking amazing and is quite an enjoyable cut of beef. A few methods can be used for both proteins, for example: with the Picahna, you could leave it whole and smoke it…
Roasted Garlic Chimichurri NY Strip Steaks
Chimichurri alone is one of the freshest and enjoyable sauces I love to enhance my steak eating experience. It goes well with mostly ribeye steaks (including the Tomahawk Ribeye), skirt steak and NY Strip Steak. The freshness from the herbs and balance of acidity really plays well with a thick marbled steak. The recipe typically calls for minced garlic but this is where I like to have fun with my cooks, so I decided to roast some garlic and add it…. Let me tell you this, it was a good move! If you made it this far into the recipe…

Smash Burgers With Bone Marrow
Smash Burgers are definitely one of the hottest burgers to make right now and I don’t see people ever stopping. I personally love all forms of burgers, the thing I love the most is the ability to change the ingredients and put your own twist on them, elevating each burger cookout for ultimate satisfaction. Just keep in mind with any attempt of creating a smash burger, that the most important factor is the crust that developed on the hot flat surface. One huge upgrade in my smash burger game has been GrillGrates, the grates are made from hard-anodized aluminum that…

Grilled Firecracker Chicken
I have tried firecracker chicken in a few restaurants and I have to say, I have been disappointed every time. The reason being is because the heat level wasn’t to the level of “firecracker” that I played it up to be in my mind. Don’t get me wrong, the food was good but I was expecting to feel the heat. This led me to play around on the grill to create my own recipe. The recipe involves a marinade and a brine, this helps create a moist and flavorful chicken that is well worth the time. Following the chicken up…
