There once was a ‘cue-er named Joe
Whose pulled-pork made you shake head to toe
His brisket was dry
And his ribs were… Oh MY
But who cares ‘cause his swine was to die for

America's Most Expensive Hamburgers

DB Bistro burger is damned good. I ordered it expecting to hate it and be irritated. But it was great, and certainly worth the money.

The Greatest Sandwich in New York (and Maybe the World)

We have friends from Spain who have a Christmas party every year. There is always some spectacular Spanish ham on the sideboard. And that is where I spend my time. As you have discovered, they make the best in the world.

Cheers!

I love gelato, I havent found a shop in my small town in S.C that makes it so I have to make it myself when I get a craving. I appreciate all of the recipes I can get my hands on.

We Have a Winner!
Texas, Carolina, New York,
Give us brisket and sausage, pulled pork,
We keep calling “More meat!”
Smoky, savory and sweet
Like a jewel on the end of your spork.

Pulled pork, beef brisket, jalapeno slaw, rib rack….
I’m so excited for such a delightful snack!
But with the lines growing ever-fast
My appetite won’t long last
Please don’t make me get my meat fix at Shake Shack.

Interplay of the spicy and sweet
flavors imbued in the smokey meat,
keeps me coming for more.
With 'Cue love at my core,
I await treats from summer's heat

Jane had a BBQ out back
Slow cooked ribs charred till black
12 hours left out to smoke
Outcomes Jack with a joke
He looked to Jane and said "Hey, nice rack!"

There once was a pit-man from York
Who spent his long nights hard at work
While prepping his pig
He lamented the gig
And cried, "will no sweet lass pull my pork?"

Pig took a trip to the Apple
With a jaunty blue ribbon on his lapel
Some folks called him a winner
Then invited him to dinner
And now all that's left is the scrapple.

There once was a vegan quite hostile
For whom "Meat = Murder" was gospel
But her conviction died
With one whiff of rib eye
And you can't proselytize with your mouth full.
