Texas Barbecue Addiction and the Equivalent (or Lack Thereof) in South Florida
 |
| Photos by Robert Sietsema |
| This is where the barbecue addiction begins. |
It was Texas barbecue, and for one of the ten individuals staying in our home for the holidays -- Lance, he's called -- this is fable food, memory food. It came in a massive cooler from a legendary Texas meat temple called the Salt Lick. We got 30-some-odd pounds of the stuff. Ribs, brisket, enormous links of sausage, along with the necessary accouterments. Salt Lick hot sauce is somehow creamy, tart, and spicy at the same.
I loathe barbecue, but in the years I've known Lance, I've come to love Salt Lick. All of Salt Lick's meat is astounding. The brisket's especially so, achieving a synthesis of fat and muscle More »
Forget the Grill: Five Tips for the Perfect Burger
Categories: Homebrew
It's June, which means people all over will be firing up the grill for backyard cookouts. And what goes better at one of those cookouts than that most American of sandwiches, the hamburger?
A grilled burger can be fantastic. The high heat of the flames caramelize the outside of the patty, lending it a lovely charred texture. Meanwhile, the smoke from the fire bastes the burger, creating layers of flavor. It's an experience as central to outdoor cookouts as cold beer and Slip 'N' Slide.

Yet for serious burger aficionados -- the kind who pine for thick, juicy burgers for the ages -- the grill just can't compare to another cooking method: the stove.
The reason cooking on a flat surface makes for a better burger than the grill has to do with a little bit of food science. But you can't just use any old burner or any old pan. Read on to find out how, by using a little ingenuity, you can make a stove-top hamburger that will stomp whatever is put out on the grill.

"Craft beer?" The phrase sounds as douchey as the word foodie. What does it mean? In layman's terms, it's the opposite of mass-produced beer. More in-depth, the producers leave out a lot of the crap that can normally be found in a Bud or Miller Lite, like chemical preservatives and high fructose corn syrup.
At-home brewing kits have been around for at least 20 years, and we know many a

| Coca-Cola: all your recipes belong to us! |
According to Yahoo, NPR's "This American Life" recently found a 1979 edition of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution which contained an article about a notebook. This was a special notebook you see because it belonged to a friend of John Pemberton - the pharmacist who created the Coke formula.
The notebook contained numerous recipes including what's believed to be the exact recipe for the American dream drink. Take that Pepsi!
After the jump we tell you the formula. Anyone who actually collects the ingredients and re-creates it gets automatic brownie points.

Putting Your Pizza Stone to Work: Whole Wheat Butternut Squash Pizza
Categories: Homebrew
 |
| Crackly crust, sweet butternut squash, sage, and caramelized onions -- the flavors of fall in pizza form. |
Yesterday, we talked about pizza stones and how you can improve upon those store-bought ones with cheap unglazed quarry tiles purchased at Home Depot. Today, let's put those tiles to the test with a delicious Fall-oriented pizza made with butternut squash instead of tomato sauce.
I made this pizza over the weekend at home, and let me say it was a transcendent experience. The ingredients like sun-dried tomatoes, squash, and goat cheese all celebrate warm, Fall flavors. And the whole wheat crust is dense, rich, and crackly thanks to the high heat of the stone. Sure, it takes a bit of work, but once you get the technique down, making a quality pie at home is easy. You can also prep all the ingredients ahead of time, and assemble the next day.

Pizza Stones and How to Pick 'Em
Categories: Homebrew

| This is what happens to most expensive, store-bought pizza stones. |
After assembling my pie and the wooden pizza peel that came with the kit, I plunked it on the stone and waited. About five minutes later, I heard a slight pop come from the oven. I opened the door and saw the stone had split right down the middle. Shards of clay (or whatever it was made of) had splintered off into the pizza.
That kit probably cost $30, which was precisely $25 too much -- I'd pay $5 for the wooden peel. But the rest of the stuff in the package was garbage, especially the stone. This $25 piece of "specially formulated stone" split
The sad thing is most pizza stones are like this. They can cost upward of $100 for imported Brazilian soapstone and silly composites with useless "features" like handles and curved lips. But the truth is, you can duplicate or improve upon the performance of the best pizza stones without dropping that kind of cash.
