Hmm... Time for a BBQ bourbon sauce throwdown... 

Some old friends were in the neighborhood and dtagged me away from weekend work. Went for a late lunch at a new place right by my house. Pleasantly surprised! Walking distance from my house View attachment 289647
I've been known to take pictures of Emeril's seasoning labels, just so I could make them at home (without all the salt - I add that independently of other seasoning).
I have noticed that in his spices as well. Salt is not the in the top 3 ingredients. Nevertheless, by making a spice mix without the salt, I dont run into trouble.
Say, I'm making a cajun omelette. I might add country ham or bacon - both are salty ingredients. If I add the Emeril's straight, I wind up with a salty omelette. By omitting the salt in my mix, I can add just the right amount.
Sure I have to take the time to add 2 seasonings rather than one, but that is a small price to may when you aim to perfect a dish.
I still need to work on my desserts, but sometimes, I can nail the plating...

It was a spot of mustard, about the size of the distal section of the little finger. Added to that, melted butter. I just used what I had left from the current stick, so probably 3-4 tbs. added salt to taste, then plated it over the slow cooked broccoli.mustard braised broccoli details please?

The broccoli was slow cooked in water from boiling the potatoes, so it had a bit of starch in it. That allowed the mustard sauce to cling better to the potatoes.
It was the first time I did the broccoli that way, but the flavor was fantastic. There were no vegetable leftovers. I'm hoping I remember this in the future.

My second attempt at wood fired pizza on Weber kettle. This was better than last time but I still need more heat....
No I have not tried that, interesting. I am definitely in the experimental stage with this.Probably right. But are you cooking one side of the crust, before flipping and adding the toppings? That's key to a great grilled pizza...
