The Best Food Tee Ever!

A Whole Pig and a Wedding Too

This weekend my wife and I attended a wedding, and to my delight and her ultimate horror, they were roasting a pig. I of course forced my culinary expertise upon them and insisted that I help. Not that they needed any help roasting that bad boy, I've just never done it before and I wanted the experience. Above are the pictures of Baron Von Wienerhausen. One of the brides(?) in the wedding gave the pig that name on account of the fire pit looking like a cinderblock castle. My guess is that it was a castle not fit for a king, hence the title of "Baron." 

It was yummy yummy goodness. Once we began carving it up, I immediately swiped a hunk of the cheek meat and a sizable slice of the tenderloin, oh and a couple of ribs to boot. I had eaten so much pork that I failed get drunk, despite my many attempts.

It was my proposal to do a pig of the month club. Every month, 20 people get together and pitch in $10 and roast one of those tasty behemoths. The proposal quickly evolved into goats, lambs and any other sizable hunk of meat you can roast. We shall see how that develops...

Canned Chicken

And I thought the rotisserie chickens at Walmart were appetizing. Get a load of this tasty can of goodness. I like the cooking directions on the back. It says to save the "delicious" broth, yes the broth looks VERY delicious.

The BA-K-47

This one has been out there for a bit, but I had the odd chance of having beers with the guy who made it (Who surprisingly reeked of bacon). Meeting this dood was great because most of the things that go viral, that my friends create, are usually geeked-out concoctions of Star Wars or D&D. So here it is the BA-K-47, sorry I missed that party train.

"I decided it was time for me to make my own bacon creation. I came up with the BA-K-47, a 1:1 scale AK-47 made out of bacon. It took a total of eight hours to create, a lot of bacon, and a blowtorch... oh yeah, and our good friend beer helped too."

The Race Track Ruben

I grew up in Hot Springs, Ar. My first "real job" was working for Oaklawn Park. I was a porter working Ice and food stands (strangely the closest I've ever come to working in the food industry). If the girls ran out of Ice, I got it. If they ran out of hot dogs, I got them. Nachos... I got those too. I never really worked there for the "pay check" most of that went to the "horse tips" I used to get. I'd bet those ponies and make a tidy little profit. Those days are gone. 

Now when I go to the track I lose my A$$. But one thing is for sure, their corned beef sandwiches are still the best in the world. Just a couple days before we went to see the Arkansas Derby, I popped into Jason's Deli and ordered a Corned Beef Sandwich with extra meat. My wife asked me what I was doing, because I was going to have one at the track in two days. I told her I was priming myself, but really I guess it was sort of a control in a corned beef sandwich experiment. Basically I needed something to reconfirm that I was indeed about to have the best corned beef sandwich in the world. We went to the track and I have to say, it did not disappoint.
