Are those just swedish meatballs with toothpicks in them?

Gravy · Oct 1, 2015

What I've had that was a porcupine meatball was a meatball and rice in a red sauce. Not Italian red.

Irish red? Every 28 days red? WHAT KIND OF RED GRAVY?!?!

Mom makes it by taking a pound of hamburger and a box of beef rice a roni. Mix the meat and rice and roll into balls. Then basically follow the boxes directions from there. Really tasty very easy.

We probably spend 90% of our time in this thread discussing various cooking techniques, or ideas, rather than sharing exact recipes.

P.S. Stay away from the Sous-Vide crazies

Had dinner at the Gladstone Smokehouse last night, ordered burnt ends and got fatty cubed brisket instead.

I swear to God, it's so fucking hard to find real burnt ends. Jimmies confirmed rustled.

Noted: Stay away from Gladstone Smokehouse.

Worst 'burnt ends' I ever had was in a very popular BBQ place in Topeka, KS. It was deep-fried brisket chucks. No batter or anything, just greasy as hell.

That Smokehouse used to be my go-to BBQ place growing up, but I feel like it's slipped a lot in quality in recent years. Smokehouse tried to expand a lot 10-15 years ago, opening a half dozen other locations. A few failed and closed(there was one in Shawnee for a while) and a few still remain(Independence, Zona Rosa), but that Gladstone location is the original one but it's just not as good as it used to be.

Burnt ends are easily my favorite BBQ item, but it is very difficult to find high-quality ones. The places that do it right, only have them at certain times/run out quickly each day (Oklahoma Joes, Smokin Guns) and most other places just pass off brisket cubes as burnt ends. Which still isn't bad, brisket is good, but it's not burnt ends.

I saw this pic on FB. American Royal, 27 lbs of Wagyu from Hunstspoint. I don't know which cut this is, but look at some of their prices in their "BBQ Meats" section.

Hahahaha... 2 pork butts for $95 bucks. I can get two pork butts for around $40 here. Fuckin' charlatans!

Fuck all that noise. They've completely lodged their head into their asses. BBQ is meant to take crap meat and make it delicious. Ribs are tough and chewy, brisket is dry, but with some actual cooking skills you can make both taste great.

Seriously, if you need to buy Wagyu beef to win, or even think it might help you win a BBQ contest, just cut your carotid and get it over with. If I ran that contest, every cook would get the jankiest cuts of meat I could find, and then we'd really find out who the great BBQ cooks were.

Truth.

More money than sense?

Wagyu is a bullshit term nowadays. You can call pretty much any cow "Wagyu". Wagyu is the fucking Kardashians of beef. I'm drunk because it's my birthday weekend and I'm just gonna say it. You're a piece of shit and you are spitting on our brother BrutulTM (whom I've had my differences with but still respect) if you buy into that hipster Wagyu bullshit!

I'm definitely gonna wake up tomorrow and say "Hah, you're a true bro badass when you're drunk".

Erronius · Oct 2, 2015

If I am going to buy $314.85 of beef, I'm going to go down to the butcher and stock up.

Apparently a lot of beef and alcohol was consumed last night.

Gravy · Oct 3, 2015

That's probably my favorite joeboo post ever, and I've like quite a few.
