So I was away traveling for work and enjoyed so much authentic Mexican food, I have to up my game. The flavor.. and passion.. that some of these small eateries put into their food is remarkable. Thank you to all of those small restaurants – you’ve taught me more than you’ll know! And […]

A staple side for BBQ plate – baked beans, pit beans, cowboy beans, bbq beans – however you want to categorize it… it’s a perfect side. It’s hard not to just pick up a can of Bush’s for a dollar or two and add heat and call it a side. But I wanted

I think I’m a year into this ForensicBBQ thing, and I haven’t posted one pork butt. This was completely mind-blowing to me. While it’s true, I haven’t posted everything I’ve ever cooked – but a pork butt?? The BBQ staple? Embarrassing. Recipe Let’s get going – this was going to be a busy

This post has been crazy hard to write. I’ve had it in the queue for awhile, and I don’t really have that great of an excuse. If you recall, I started my Three S’s series on making the cook your own, starting with Seasonings and Sauces. “Sides” is so very broad and encompassing

The post you all have been waiting for. Pork, Briskets, Ribs, Burgers.. no. It’s the cleaning post. It’s okay, it’s been highly requested (lie), and I know it’s been keeping you up at night. There’s a couple reasons I thought this would be an interesting read. I don’t know too many people who

My #1 go-to meal is the taco. You can make them as simple or as complex as you want. I’ve made stove-top ground beef tacos more times than I’d like to admit. So it was time to do it again. I grabbed a pound of lean ground beef (significant difference from those Onion

The small, greasy diner, no-frills hamburger. The guilty pleasure meal instilled in me at a young-age – but the appreciation of such a burger grew with time. There’s a number of these long-standing small buildings offering up the “grease burgers” in my Mid-west area of the country, but none were better than the

Chicken wings are always dangerous animal for me because of the “bite”. I want to incorporate so much into so little – smoke, seasoning, crisp-bite-through skin and of course, that moist chicken. After my last wing cook, I think I got it down, but I wanted to add a little bit extra to

I threw this up on Instagram as a teaser – and while not your usual BBQ post – I’d like to share with you the process I take in making even the smallest step personalized. If you recall in my previous Seasonings post, I really take this kind of stuff personal. Don’t get

This one is a gluttonous delight. I’ve done these before, and I know what I wanted to do differently. So happy to share this result with you. Even again, I made a mistake in buying a thick cut bacon. While part of me appreciates the love for the thicker cut bacon, it’s not
