Topic: Important question for The Judges re: saturday night (Thunderhill)

Very important question for Saturday night - especially for The Judges and Perpetrators:  Kansas City, Memphis, Mississippi?  I am of course referring to BBQ.  You see, starting some time friday night, the cannonball bandits will begin employing heat smoke and patience to convert vast quantities of boston butt into proof-that-a-great-God-exists (aka pulled pork).   

Given that I don't have a strong preference for sauce (there's a lot of pig out there, who am I to say how it must be sauced or topped?), and that us Californians eschew food based regional rivalries, I thought I'd throw the question out to the people that really matter...

pig out,

D

Re: Important question for The Judges re: saturday night (Thunderhill)

i actually did a dry rub on the meat, let it really sink in for almost an hour, then sauced it while on the grill. took damn near forever as my current grill SUCKS at holding in heat, however, it was probably the best damn ribs I've ever had.

ronman, I'm not too much closer either else I'd love to go, lol

Re: Important question for The Judges re: saturday night (Thunderhill)

taking forever actually probably helped.  That breaks down the meat so it just falls off the bone.

The Judge has spoken, and thus shall it be done.  Now, where's my cider vinegar at?

Hey, I resemble that remark!  Wait, does that imply the the better I can cook the worse I can drive?  Oh crap....

Re: Important question for The Judges re: saturday night (Thunderhill)

I'm skeptical that California teams can feed us as well as the racers in Louisiana, Texas, and South Carolina, but don't let that stop you!

Of course, we set our standards for beer and wine much, much higher for California teams, so no goddamn Natural Light or Boone's Farm.

Newcastle, Bass and Sam Adams are a bunch of crap, too.

In fact, the standard bribe should be a case of Racer 5

How about we stick with our cannonball red ale for the bribe and I use racer 5 in the chili?

Re: Important question for The Judges re: saturday night (Thunderhill)

I'll drink Bass, if only because the Bass logo is the oldest trademark in the world. But this is California. You can do better.

Also, pulled pork should be made with wild boar meat, preferably from a boar you killed yourself. With a spear.
