Dinner Plans? (5 Viewers)

More specific to your question, around here it's mainly post oak wood for smoking. Brisket and ribs are the foundation with some sausage as a side meat. It's mostly a dry rub with very light sweetness. I like sweeter so at home I add a bit more brown sugar

Some places refused to give you bbq sauce for the longest time but have relented more recently to please the masses.

In my home BBQ I never use sauce. It's like steak sauce - if you need it, you did something wrong.

Still, I always have 1 or 2 sauces available for the plebes. At the very least, it's better than catsup for the French fries (if you made fries), as it pairs with the meat.

Made some fried chicken:

Followed up with pistachio ice cream.

Interesting - what would you call the BBQ regions?

I only ask because BBQ is literally the oldest form of cooking (meat+fire), and therefore every section of the world (except maybe France) has some regional form of BBQ with Korean BBQ probably rivalling any American form. Add to that things like sauce, and you have some very specific regional flavored sauces in the US alone (Kentucky Whiskey, Alabama White, South Carolina Gold, Piedmont Ketchup, etc.).

The history of Texas BBQ is very different than the South. Texas BBQ has its roots in German and Czech butcher shops in the region. They couldn’t sell the tough cuts..namely brisket so they slow cooked it for themselves. People later caught on that it was delicious. In TX beef is the original BBQ
Southern BBQ has its roots with poor blacks living “low on the hog” and figuring out how to make those cuts tender and delicious. In the South pork rules obviously

Honey citrus marinated grilled shrimp, Asiago polenta topped with sautéed mushrooms, some steamed broccoli served with a nice crisp Chenin Blanc that paired perfectly with the shrimp.

I mostly agree. I really like my bourbon/honey BBQ sauce and my Jalapeno/blueberry bbq sauce. I rarely ever sauce my food while its cooking. I want to enjoy the flavor of the BBQ meats. I use it more for dipping.

Agreed! Well seasoned and smoked meat doesn't really need sauce. I don't use much sauce or any when I eat it but the kids love sauce on theirs. As long as everyone eats it and enjoys it that's what's important.

Some times though sauce just makes it better, like when you have it in a sandwich.

Same! Make it for the group, but finish it off as a sandwich moisturizer.

...although there was this one time when Mrs Zombie saw it in the fridge and thought it was a salad dressing. A Habanero, Whiskey, Tangy Mayo (Alabama White Lightning) dressing.

I really need to label stuff.

I can't leave Bill disappointed...

Mushrooms and onions with a Garam Masala spice blend that one of our poker players brought back as a gift from her trip to India. The mushrooms were mostly mushroom stems because it was going to be plated as a bed under a steak.

The mushrooms and onions served as a bed for a Ribeye steak. The mushroom caps were stuffed with blue cheese then battered with leftover tortilla chips from poker - then deep-fried. Served with a twice-baked potato and garlic-roasted broccoli.

I picked up some gorgeous 16/20 shrimp which inspired @Poker Zombie to make shrimp and grits. However, we didn't have grits or polenta on hand. Turns out he can make it from scratch with frozen corn, corn meal, and whatever else he added.... not sure, but it was the best I've had!
