I'm looking for something new this Thanksgiving and this is moving up the list.

Any type of meat on my Bevo smoker.

My favorite vendor is "Dr. Pita" who sells some of the best pita chips and the most amazing jalapeno-cilantro hummus that I have ever tasted.

Here's the best recipe ever. It's so good, it's written in marker on both my waffle irons so I don't ever have to look up the recipe. Recipe courtesy of Cooks Illustrated.

1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon cornmeal (optional)
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 egg , separated
7/8 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter , melted

Instructions
1. Heat waffle iron. Whisk dry ingredients together in a medium bowl. Whisk yolk with buttermilk and butter.

2. Beat egg white until it just holds a 2-inch peak.

3. Add liquid ingredients to dry ingredients in a thin steady stream while gently mixing with a rubber spatula; be careful not to add liquid faster than you can incorporate it. Toward end of mixing, use a folding motion to incorporate ingredients; gently fold egg white into batter.

4. Spread appropriate amount of batter onto waffle iron. Following manufacturer’s instructions, cook waffle until golden brown, 2 to 5 minutes. Serve immediately. (You can keep waffles warm on a wire rack in a 200-degree oven for up to 5 minutes.)

My favorite pork memory would be the first time my pork ribs came out of my smoker and I took a bite and I had a mouth orgasm. It was at that point that I realized I could make bbq ribs as good or better than any place I had ever eaten them before, and that I would be forever disappointed when dining out.
