@tekobo that is my plan. My parents, my wife’s parents, her two best girlfriends and their husbands and two kids each, my brother and my two best buddies that were in my wedding. 20 people including kids, a pool, a playlist. No masks required. Everyone’s vaccinated. Why not? I’m a bit nervous I’ll screw it up but I’m planning on staying up all night to watch it. 250 degrees with apple wood. Planning to season with salt and pepper for 48 hours prior. I’m mildly optimistic/confident I won’t screw it up
going to make Cole slaw, corn bread, baked beans and a watermelon salad. Two homemade bbq sauces, one spicy and one sweet

Cheese pizza & 2 sausage, mushroom and pepperoni
I picked up a couple medium spicy Italian sausages and cooked them in the KK while it was pulling up to temp. They got a little crispy on the outside but tasted just fine on the pizza. I also diced your some baby Bella mushrooms and cooked them with olive oil, truffle salt and thyme
I brushed olive oil on the outside dough on the cheese pizza forgot on my 2nd pizza then did olive oil and sea salt on the crust of the 3rd. All tasted great

I like the show Top Chef and it’s really the thing that pushed me to start trying to elevate my cooking. I binged watched the first 2 seasons over a couple days while staying with my then girlfriends family in South Africa back in 2008 and from that long on I’ve watched every season and it’s always inspired me to try new recipes or learn mew techniques at home
one of my favorite chefs all time from that show was Gregory who does a lot of southeast Asian style healthy cooking. He just released his first cookbook and i received my copy the other day abs holy smokes am I excited. It could be because it’s very timely and that I happen to be in a period where I’m actively looking to Jeff up (no pun intended) my vegetable, sides & salad game or the fact that I’m increasingly finding a need to serve vegan dishes for at least one guest, but I found at least 20 recipes plus in his book that I am genuinely excited to try. There also some great poultry and meat dishes and the photography is visually stunning. I’m extremely excited to add this to my collection and try out a lot of these.
I love southeastern Asian cooking and have been Thinking about how I haven’t made my red & green Thai curry pastes in 4-5 years, was planning on doing that sometime soon anyways. I make red & green pastes and store them in containers, vacuum seal it and they are amazing for a quick meal full of flavor
anyways check out his book if you’re into that type of thing

21 hour smoked brisket with mesquite wood. Sweet corn on the cob and fingerling potatoes with truffle salt, olive oil, rosemary, thyme and black pepper
no plated pics but here’s the rest
also made some bbq sauce using @Syzygiesbourbon recipe. I don’t normally do BBQ sauce on my brisket but I wanted to try a run before my whole pig cook in a few weeks. Sauce was tasty, could’ve been a bit thicker but I probably should’ve started it an hour earlier. Curious to try it again after it’s been in the fridge a few hours, I really want to develop my own signature BBQ sauce for pulled pork and ribs

I finally watched that whole MasterClass. Thanks for sharing. I am extremely jealous of you @Basher and your grill.

Whether you use a Trompo King or not it’s just great to cook vertical meat stacks. Glad to see so much enthusiasm on this topic
@tony b what do you use when you smoke a brisket if you’re not using the double drip pan?

@tekobo it should be noted that my wife’s name is Kusi, which in the native language of Peru is Quechuan and means “happiness”. When you meet my wife you will see that she personifies her namesakes. So since I redid my yard last year but wasn’t able to share it with our friends, I started calling our house “club Kusi” last summer as I posted pics of the pool and the food that was being produced from my KK. I’ve gotten a lot of grief /ribbing from my family and friends about how serious I take my BBQ/grilling over the past year and this year I finally get to share that with them. So hence the title of the playlist is “Club Kusi” so I mostly entertain my wife’s close friends and the theme is middle aged parental dance grooves since we all got kids and can’t party too hard but we still think we’re young enough to be cool

@Donoi live 6 miles from the Mexican border and the market I go to has pre marinated carne asada and fresh tortillas so I usually just pick up from them

Nice job @tony b glad you got to have company over. Rolling out the red carpet by the looks of it
Happy Cinco de Mayo all. Tonight we did the staple carne asada tacos with guacamole and a margarita. One thing to note for those keeping score at home is if you want to do truly world class carne asada one must use arrachera cut of meat which is skirt steak. They sell this at the Mexican market by my house for $11.99/lb vs the “other” marinated carne asada which I think is a rump cut of some kind and it’s $4.99/lb
tonight in honor of Cinco de Mayo we went with the arrachera and man you can definitely taste the difference. Picked up some freshly made flour taco sized tortillas had my daughter help me make some fresh guacamole (she’s 3 and making guacamole is her biggest joy in life). Lightly toasted the tortilla, sprinkle some Mexican shredded cheese on it to lightly melt and toast. Serve carne asada with guacamole and top with Cotija cheese and siracha sauce. I will go to the grave telling you I can make world class tacos and tonight they were magnificent. Meat cooked indirect to start finished over coffee charcoal with post oak wood. Tastes just like Mexico.
correlejo margarita with fresh lime and fresh orange juice...

@tekoboyou are welcome to listen, although I’m not sure you’ll like it or not. I have a very wide and eclectic taste in music and for this event seeing that I never got to really have a pool party or share our backyard with our friends last year I’m going for the “upscale hotel pool” vibe but obviously we’ll all be with our kids. So it’s all DJ music that is from the Ibiza/Mediterranean beach vibes. I put it on shuffle and let it play. It’s a celebratory playlist designed to celebrate the light at the end of the tunnel after a long year in isolation

@Basher well cooked. How was the taste? Did the lamb absorb the marinade well? How long did you marinate it for?

Where you located @BOC that view reminds me of spending summers at my grandparents house on Mercer Island, WA. Looks like you’re set up to enjoy the weather. Beautiful View

@tekobo my wife and I sent out the evite today and curiously enough I found one that had a whole pig as the background and I put in the text that I’d be smoking a pig so I’m officially on the clock Sunday May 30th
well be having our friends who were in our bridal party (the ones that still live in San Diego) over with their kids. Everyone’s vaccinated and it’ll be outdoor pool party....I even already made a Spotify playlist for the event
