00W's AIO Smorgasbord

@LadyMac and @Calmwaters , who has better barbecue North or South Carolina? I’m just going to sit back and enjoy.

Texas lol.

Seriously it all depends on who’s cooking. I love the spicy sauce we can get at some places but as for authentic? I don’t think I’ve had anything actually authentic from either. Just my dads homemade sauce, which he took to the grave haha (recipe, not actual sauce which I’m sure he would have had we let him)

So yeah, Texas.

We will agree on that Texas wins hands down at least if I remember it right it was amazing but the last time I had Texas BBQ I was 9...

Are you going to cover the patio with a roof? We have one and I keep trying to convince my husband we need to cover it and screen it in so we can sit out there and enjoy the weather when it cools off in the evenings. He said it would cost too much.

Yes, kind of. Half of it will be a pergola that has the clear polycarbonate sheets on the top to keep rain off us and patio furniture. I am going to install a large outdoor 'ceiling' fan as well as perimeter lights.

Good morning peeps!

Beautiful!

 

[Calmwaters]

How about this discussion @kevgib67 steak on a grill or in a cast iron skillet? My brother and cousin use to have some interesting conversations about that one...

Sounds perfect! Maybe a small patio pond if you have room?

All you posers arguing over what sauce belongs on BBQ... If you cook it right it doesn't need any sauce! I'm calling in the big guns here: @Kingsley_Reef dry rub and/or marinade then a trip to the smoker right????

Texas has REALLY good BBQ. However, I have had great BBQ in BOTH NC and SC... GA was kind of ....meh... but I did find a good fried catfish place in GA.

My male husky would think of it as his personal water trough... so, unfortunately that's out of the question unless I fence it off somehow.

Good morning brother! Yes, @Kingsley_Reef knows BBQ. You do a good job too Tim... and Paul... Kevin.... Luis. I feel left out of this. I need to learn how to use my Traeger smoker.

Good morning John!

@LadyMac and @Calmwaters when I was going to school in St Louis there was the big debate of which barbecue was better St. Louis o Kansas City. It seems the gold standard is Texas , unfortunately I will never know. Since all my exes live in Texas I won’t go.

I agree 100% and prefer mine without sauce.

They have covers you can get to protect the fish from critters that might work for your husky. By the way if you mention a dog you must provide a picture of the dog. I think it's in the smorgs rules somewhere...

Last nights supper (and today’s lunch too!)

My daddy’s spaghetti. Sauce so thick it sticks to your ribs lol.) Also yes the photo is dark. Sorry bout that.

Also good morning and happy Monday.

That's what spaghetti should look like!

Can’t say I’ve had one from a cast iron but I’ve seen it done on the food network and the searing keeps the juices in. I’d eat a ribeye that was cooked on Tim’s driveway without hesitation.
