BBQ 160

I was introduced to Pimento Cheese Burgers via Griffin’s Grub and for several months I couldn’t bring myself to make burgers any other way because they are just soooo damn tasty! Well I finally managed to force myself to branch out when I ran across the Huntsman cheese burger on Food Networks’s 50 Burger Recipes. This burger gets its namesake from the cheese that tops it. Huntman’s Cheese is made with four layers of the orange-hued Double Gloucester sandwiched by three layers of Blue Stilton. »

I have been shooting for at least two posts a month, but time ran away from me in February. Luckly, that didn’t stop me from BBQing so I have a lot of posts coming!! Jen’s mother paid us a visit at the end of January to see her granddaughter. I wanted to fix her something special, but I didn’t have the time to do something low and slow. My first thought was a nice juicy steak, but I wanted to do something a little different. »

Glaze Dates I would have never thought to pair dates with blue cheese, but my wife and I discovered these on a trip to the now defunct Bin 555. I had forgot about them until one day flipping through my copy of Weber’s Time to Grill, I rediscovered them. This is a simple (I say that, but my wife always prepares them), but impressive appetizer. »

I have been eyeing the creamy mustard sauce recipe from my Weber’s Time to Grill for quite some time. When I finally decided to make pork chops for my mother in law, I thought it was the perfect time to try it out. And it did not disappoint! I didn’t get a chance for a picture, so you will just have to settle for the recipe. 1 tablespoon unsalted butter 2 tablespoons minced shallot 2 tablespoons bourbon 1⁄2 cup low-sodium beef broth 3⁄4 cup heavy whipping cream 3 tablespooks whole-grain mustard Kosher salt »

I wanted to do something really special for Valentine’s Day this year. My first thought was a nice prime steak which isn’t something we do every day (or month for that matter!) But that it wasn’t quite special enough. And then it came to me…surf and turf! And by the look of facebook the following day it seems like everybody had the same idea! After deciding what we wanted, my wife braved a Valentine’s Day trip to Central Market. »
