Easter Barbeque Feast

The remainder of the Easter Feast. I split a whole pork loin into 2 pieces and spiced each half differently one is lemon garlic the other half is Cajun. I put a maple glaze on both. The two racks of ribs have different sauces. The first is my Jack Daniels competition sauce and the other is a new glaze I am working on, mango/apricot.

Easter Pork Shoulders

Here are eight pork shoulders I cooked all night on the eve of Easter Morning. The all night cook was challenged with wind, rain and snow. Then just before dawn the sky cleared and the sunrise was beautiful. What an appropriate way to open the day we celebrate the rising of Jesus Christ. happy Easter to all!

Just cooked 8 pork butts for Christmas parties

18 hours after beginning prep I have 50 pounds of pulled pork for people to eat helping them celebrate the great blessings of Christmas

Texas Barbeque Found In SAn Antonio

The Barbeque Station in San Antonio, Texas is just what I had hoped to find. in previous visits to other parts of Texas I had eaten some great barbeque. This place ranks with the best of them. They have numerous awards for there food and they are well earned. I was greeted with the smells of wood smoke and cooking meat as soon as I stepped out of the car. Once inside I was not disappointed. The crew here knew their stuff and made great suggestions for my meal.

Here is the dinner we worked out for this night. Beef ribs, brisket, a sausage link, beans, potato salad, white bread, and sweet tea all served on butcher paper. If you want sauce there is some on the table which compliments the food very well. I like the fact that they stay with the "Texas style" presentation.

I highly recommend anyone who likes barbeque to make this a must stop. I will do all I can to go again before my business trip is over.

Lunch in New Braunfels, Texas at Friesenhaus

In my research of this region of Texas I found that there were many towns settled by German immigrants. I thought it would be nice to find one of these towns and discover the local traditional food. Friesenhaus Restaurant and Bakery lived up to what I had hoped to find. I tried a sampler of the sausages with potatoes and sauerkraut. Since I was driving I chose to stay away from the German beer and went with iced tea.

Then for desert I had some Strudel baked right there at the restaurant.

Fried Alligator Tail at Pat O'Brien's

Monday was a better. At the grand opening of the NCSLI convention free passes for a free hurricane at Pat O'Brien's were given out. On Monday after my training was over I went to the Alamo and after I went to Pat's to receive my hurricane and partake in a delicacy found in this region of the world, Fried Alligator. It was cooked just right, the flavor was right and the staff very fun.
