For the past few years, I've been BBQing pretty regularly for my family, kids, and friends. Anytime I BBQ big chunks of meat, whole chicken, or bone-in chicken, I like to use the dry brine method to have the salt penetrate through the meat and season the meat more thoroughly and make it more...

Tacos Al Pastor is one of my FAVORITE tacos in the whole world to eat. I determine the greatness of a taqueria based on the taste of the Al Pastor alone. If the Al Pastor at a taqueria is no bueno, I probably would not come back, even if the other protein options are delicious. #AlPastorSnob... Continue Reading →

Hot dogs are the perfect BBQ food. It is easy to cook, scrumptious, and people love it! I always keep at least a pack of hot dogs in my fridge when I host BBQs just in case I run low on food or underestimate the number of people... Continue Reading →
When my cousins from Texas visited us last year, I was surprised to find out they never tasted Tri-tip before. They have plenty of briskets, ribs, blue crabs, and crawfish in Texas, but no Tri-tip. Before their flight back to Texas, I barbecued a few USDA Prime Tri-tips and introduced them to the beautiful, juicy,... Continue Reading →
Last year, the girls bought me a Weber Smokey Mountain smoker for Father's Day. Selena, the name I gave the smoker, is one of the best presents I ever received.
