Porkchop Posted July 3, 2014 Report Posted July 3, 2014 so, one of the things i REALLY like about this forum is all the ideas, and wanting to share something new has a way of pressing me to up my game, so to speak. recently caught an episode of this new show on tv, and was thinking ABTs kinda qualified as a frankenfood, or would have like 5 years ago...recently saw an FB post on bacon wrapped donuts. i don't want to start down that dark path, but am increasingly tempted anyone have any cool new ideas. was thinking maybe doing abts with quacamole instead of cream cheese, or even slices of avocado. not mind blowing, i know... that's why i'm here. any ideas?
tony b Posted July 4, 2014 Report Posted July 4, 2014 While I generally stick to the classics - ABTs with cream cheese and pre-cooked breakfast sausage, wrapped in bacon with Dizzy Pig Dizzy Dust or chorizo with queso fresco, wrapped in bacon dusted with chili powder; I have experimented with different stuffings, in particular seafood. Try chopped raw oysters with Old Bay and crumbled Ritz crackers, no cheese, but still bacon wrapped dusted with more Old Bay. Chopped raw shrimp, with cocktail sauce, bacon wrapped with Dizzy Pig Tsunami Spin. Langoustine (lobster and crab work, too) with parsley garlic butter, crumbled Ritz crackers, bacon wrapped dusted with lemon pepper (think ABT meets Lobster Roll).

mk1 Posted July 15, 2014 Report Posted July 15, 2014 Lovely....It is 740AM and I am drooling on my keyboard for BBQ
Porkchop Posted July 15, 2014 Author Report Posted July 15, 2014 do you dare me to do bacon wrapped twinkies???
Porkchop Posted July 15, 2014 Author Report Posted July 15, 2014 so, mk1, i accept your challenge... when i post my pics, you will have to answer with a dare on the grill... be thinkin'!
Porkchop Posted July 16, 2014 Author Report Posted July 16, 2014 so, i did it... can't say i'm proud of myself, but i did it. pretty tasty, even better dipped in maple syrup... 200 deg for a couple hours i guess. wrapped each in about 1.5 strips of bacon and sprinkled with sugar. some of them burst a little bit. i think if i ever do this again, i'll do it with frozen twinkies.
mk1 Posted July 16, 2014 Report Posted July 16, 2014 Oh...WOW! I will make some of those for sure... I have to find my thinking cap....That will be a tough act to follow. But I love a challenge. 1
tony b Posted July 16, 2014 Report Posted July 16, 2014 Porkchop, that is just sick, man! Seriously, seriously sick!!
Porkchop Posted July 17, 2014 Author Report Posted July 17, 2014 dude, they were good. even better after a night in the fridge and then reheated for 30 seconds... i'll make them again... too bad we don't get tastykake here in IL
mk1 Posted July 17, 2014 Report Posted July 17, 2014 Game On! Stay tuned this weekend for my response.....

After eating the bacon wrapped twinkies I'm shocked you're still alive to tell about it. Those look incredible, are they fat free? LOL! Craig Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Porkchop Posted July 17, 2014 Author Report Posted July 17, 2014 well, some of the filling oozed out during the cooking process on some of them, so let's say "reduced fat"...
mk1 Posted July 21, 2014 Report Posted July 21, 2014 Still not sure what to call these other than delicious.... Banana wrapped in bacon cooked low and slo for 3 hours, and placed in a twinkie with crunchy peanut butter and bittersweet chocolate. Back on the KK for 5 minutes to melt. 1
DennisLinkletter Posted July 21, 2014 Report Posted July 21, 2014 I can only say how proud I and all the crew here at Komodo Kamado are of you guys... Q-ing into unsmoked territories. It's not easy to get that much sugar and fat into a single bite. Do agree that freezing the twinkles would reduce the boil over/out and save some of those desperately needed calories from leaking out.. Congrats on two jobs well done..

Back on the KK for 5 minutes to melt. that is the work of an evil genius!! i think i'd just do the bacon wrapped banana, but the rest of it gave it the whole "chili dog" effect, which is wayy cool! i bow to your leg-upmanship! nice pics! nothing there looks wrong at all!
