I spotted lobster tails on sale at the fish counter and had no idea how to grill them. Turns out it’s easier than it looks. Skewer them so they don’t curl, cook over indirect heat, and baste with garlic lemon butter. Twenty-five minutes and you’ve got a restaurant-quality meal at home.
Every Wednesday I usually write a book review, but this week I was way to busy to sit down and read a book. I know it is a shame, but I have been extremely busy. So instead of reading a book, I made a cocktail. Who doesn’t need a cocktail half-way through the week. There…
Over the weekend I had a hot dog and it reminded me of the hot dog stands in the Midwest. For some reason they are big in the Midwest but not out East. In the Midwest we had storefronts that just sold hot dogs. 20-30 different varieties of hot dogs. One of my favorite hot…

When I lived in Wisconsin the Barbecue joints there had a great side dish called cheese corn. It was cheesy, corny and delicious. So this past weekend while at my parents house for the 4th of July, I wanted to recreate it. So I went to the store and they had fresh local sweet corn…
Happy Fourth of July!! For the holiday’s I like to do a big post with great food. Since this is the summer and the 4th of July is such a big grilling day, I decided to make burgers and fries. Not just any burgers, firecracker burgers. Not just any fries, sour cream and chive fries. …
Over the past week I have been cleaning out my pantry trying to cook everything that I could without going to the grocery store. Needless to say, I was running low on everything. Then I noticed that I had a bag of mozzarella cheese in the fridge and about a 1/2 cup of milk. Sounds…
My friend Jeff went to visit his family in Tennesse and when he came back he brought with him some of the biggest zucchini that I have ever seen. They were massive. It almost seemed as if they were some result of a nuclear accident, as they were huge. After I got over the shock…
Last week my friend Jeff had me over for a little grilling and drinking. I brought the Corona and he gave me the workings for a great steak taco. I must say, having a food website has open doors. Everyone wants me to come over, but in return I have to do the cooking. I…
A couple of weeks ago I reviewed a cookbook by Ardie Davis on barbecuing. In the book he had a recipe for butt in a bag. Due to the name alone I had to make it. Basically you smoke a pork butt like normal, but halfway through you place it in a paper bag. The…
I love tacos and I love grilling. So the combination of the two is basically the perfect meal. Shrimp tacos are quick and easy and best of all, tasty. My buddy Jeff called me yesterday asking if I was interesting in grilling out. The only thing was that he had already purchased shrimp. So the…
I grill and barbecue all of the time, but I usually don’t make my own sauce. It is quite easy to do, but I never seem to use the right ingredients to make it tasty. I have done it in the past and it really hasn’t turned out that great. I usually make the sauce…
Last week I stopped by the Upper King Street Farmers Market after work. To be honest I really didn’t think that it would be that good, but it is right next to work so I went. When I got there I was delightfully surprised. I found a whole meal for four, for under $14. The…
I love pizza but it is so hot outside that I don’t want to heat up the oven. So I decided to make a pizza on the grill. It is extremely easy and the crust is amazing. Using a basic pizza crust you can create an awesome pizza in minutes. The grill adds such a…
Now that summer is in full swing everyone has their barbecues ready to go. Hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken and steaks are easy, but what do you serve on the side? Grilled potatoes are the answer. When I was in college I had a roommate named West that showed me this simple and fantastic dish. Using…

In the last two weeks I have been getting a lot of emails regarding my rib recipe. The number one question is, “How do I do this in my apartment”. To get the real deal, there really isn’t a shortcut. However, I do have a great rib recipe for making ribs in the oven. Yes,…
