Re: LTE 2.0

OMG I love Allen & Son's barbecue. Light years better than Bullock's. Better than Stamey's. Better than Wilber's. It's like heaven on a bun. Sucks that it's in Chapel Hill though. I don't really like Bullock's BBQ. Allen and Sons is good. Smithfields, IMO, is the best. I know...not one in Durham. W...

Re: The Recipe Thread

Chili from scratch on Tuesday, then ribs on my new smoker on Wednesday for Duke-UVA. Can't wait! What smoker did you get? It's a Brinkmann, with an exterior temp gauge and two racks inside, so it's got a pretty large capacity. My brother gave it to me for Christmas. Wednesday is the virgin voyage, ...

I love Utz and Cape Cod. I think my absolute favorite are probably Cape Cod w/ Sea Salt and Vinegar. Though Utz Carolina BBQ flavor are a close second.

Re: Super Bowl Menus

Because the in-laws are here, we have now added "meatballs and gravy" to the menu. For those of you uninitiated to Italian-Americans from Newark, gravy = red tomato sauce. Yes. However, for those of Scandanavian origins, meatballs have a completely different look, smell and taste. BTW, ludefisk is ...

Re: Status Check!

Went to dinner last night in Chapel Hill. The fear was palpable. Our game was on the tube and a couple of the whine and cheese crowd walked by it, checked the score and said "Oh God that's awful."

Yeah we still have a gliding, rocking, reclining chair in Katie's room and it totally rocks. You know the brand/model?
