I'm in Las Vegas and it's 92 at 6:42 pm so pick your poison.

I'll take 92, 1,000,000 times out of 100. I hate cold, anything under 80 is cold to me. Jxn, MS is too cold for me. I've survived summers in Kuwait and Qatar.

Same here, I hope I never see another single snow flake as long as I live. I don't mind the cold, that's easy to dress for. But snow may as well be cow sh-it as far as I'm concerned because I'm not going to go out and walk or drive in it

Two ideas for you PooPop... both courtesy of my local favorite here in Nashville (Edley's). It won't win all the big awards, but it's a solid "all-'rounder"

1) Their banana pudding is to die for... and they share their recipe here
2) Use some of that brisket and the pineapple / jalapeno slaw to make brisket tacos. Edley's makes them with fried jalapenos and a jalapeno ranch sauce and they are some good eatin'. Can only imagine taking it to 11 with some pineapple and jalapeno slaw.


Sadly, "PooPop's Meats for your Mouth" won't bring in customers so you'll need other ideas in the names dept.

Playing with BBQ in my pub a couple of days a week this summer. Going to go traditional Texas BBQ on 1 day every week. Brisket, ribs, and sausage. White meat is not going to be on the menu, because it ain't. Going simple with the sides, pit beans (that recipe I shared on here from the State Fair of Texas), potato salad, and a cucumber salad that I had at Bar A BBQ a few weeks ago.

The 2nd day is when we are going to have fun. Will probably do pulled pork consistently, but other proteins and sides will rotate and include fun stuff. Here's what I have so far:

Proteins
  • smoked meatloaf
  • pork belly burnt ends
  • tri-tip,
  • texas twinkies
  • turkey breast
Sides I have dialed in the following
  • smoked bacon and ranch mac and cheese
  • brisket elotes
  • salsa
  • smoked queso
  • pineapple & jalapeño cole slaw

We are gone run this for about 10 weeks and I want to rotate this stuff around almost every week. Give me your best ideas. I don't want to interfere with my pizza business so all of this is being done on a smoker... easy bake style so basically an outdoor oven. Looking for a few more sides and proteins. And for the record, the pineapple and jalapeno cole slaw on a fried halibut taco is maybe the best bite of food I have had in my life.
Are you willing to share the pineapple & jalapeño cole slaw recipe?
