Spoiled

Recommended Posts

Recently, there have been an above average request for me to do pork butts. Us KK-ers know that pork butt is about as easy as it gets, so I don't think twice about doing them, but I'm wondering what all the fuss is about.
 
Well, I'm at MIL's house last night, she's serving pulled pork. When I arrive, she asked me to check it and see if it's ok. She informs me she got it at Costco, so it should be pretty good. It was in a crock pot, and there was a bottle of terrible BBQ sauce next to it. Well, it was about the worst thing ever, in every respect. It was all I could do to choke one down, keeping a straight face, saying how surprisingly good it was. UGH!
 
The lesson I learned is being my own worst critic I have to appreciate what other people are used to. We are spoiled being able to produce foods that we sometimes consider mediocre, but the rest of the world goes crazy over.
 
Keep grilling, and let's enjoy ourselves!

My family loves my food, mostly it's just mediocre. Every once in a while I get it just right so I think it's out of this world - but not often. 

 

"mostly it's just mediocre"   I find that hard to believe.. Just saying!

 

I have a friend I'm here visiting from the states and I reverse seared with smoke some 5-6 wagyu Tri-Tips with salt, pepper, garlic and parsley.. Then slathered in Best Foods to brown up.. BF worked great in fact by accident it made amazing grate marks..  When we finally sliced it up, watching him eat it was almost comical.. Food Porn for sure and his face was saying Oral Orgasm to say the least.

He was a career manager at Four Season Resorts and said it was as good as any beef he's ever put in his mouth!!

KK does it again!

@ckreef - Son, none of your cooks are mediocre by any standard, except maybe your own!! 

Definitely mediocre by my standards. I appreciate the compliments but I have high standards for my own food even though my family loves it and thinks I'm crazy when I talk like this. 

I get better with every cook even when I learn from my own  screw ups. Maybe one day I'll get to a level I'm truly proud of. For now I'll take a home run every now and again.

 All the food I've seen you cook on the form here looks absolutely delicious to be!  I know it's made me want to be a better cook. 

TY Bruce but that's because I usually only post the best outcomes. You don't get to see all the mediocre cooks I do on a daily basis.

ckreef....................Everyone used to compliment my father on what a good photographer he was and how all his pictures were perfect.  When I got my first camera, I asked him what his secret was.  He told me he threw out all the crummy pictures and only showed people the good ones!!!  (Great memory......)

That sums up my posting to the "T".  Great post. 

I've actually done a few full recipe posts (10+ pictures) that never got posted because the end picture sucked  even though all the other pictures were decent. 

Even now I sometimes post pictures that I probably shouldn't. (in my eyes anyway)
