The Quarantine Cuisine TW Cook-Off - Winners Announced!

I guess I'll be the bad guy and remind everyone of Rule #2


"2. The ONLY thing being asked to incorporate in to your submission is a beverage. That might be pairing a beverage of your choice with the food or it might be using a beverage item in the preparation of your food item (i.e. bourbon glaze, beer batter, wine reduction, apple juice injection, etc.). For whatever it is worth, I love whiskey ."

Seems like a few people are missing that in their pictures

 

Thanks for the reminder. I fixed my submission.

 

Good job! I'd hate to see people not get counted because they missed a glass of water!

 

Okay. Beef SHORT-RIB STEW

Booze is a garden variety Pinot. Dutch oven in the oven for a slow and steady, gentle heat. 3 hours later?

Stew, with a glass of the remaining half bottle of Pinot.

 

I’ll just leave this here. Oysters, angus T-bones, baked potatoes, baked beans, pasta noddles, sautéed mushrooms and shaved ice drinks, cooked over a mix of alder and maple wood.

 

Alright, I’m going with this one.

Garlicky chicken with “crash” potatoes and asparagus.

Made a rub of olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, basil, oregano and parsley. Rubbed chicken a few hours in advance and cooked on the kettle for a while (I don’t remember how long lol) around 375. Skin turned out crispy in some parts, but think I’ll stick to dry rubs from now on. Asparagus are just olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder. Crash potatoes are a recipe my wife found forever ago and they’re delicious. Boil red potatoes, smush em down. Coat in olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper and rosemary and stick in the over at 450 until it gets a bit crispy. Beer is just to keep me hydrated after a late Saturday night



Unfortunately due to wind and rain I don’t have any pics from outside when grilling it

 

Badass!

 

Y'all are rocking this!


Glad I moved to judgement! I mean judging...

 

The waiting part sucks

 

Lol, yeah that was last Friday night. I just happened to snag a few pics. I just saw this thread. The Kona Ice truck just happened to be creeping the hood because they can’t really do any carnivals or fairs right now so they hit the road. I live way out in the sticks so it was pretty cool to see something besides the Schwans man slinging ice cream on our road.

 

Here we go, smoked tri tip chili, smoked honestly idk what meat it is. Bought them as beef ribs, but taste like briskish. And some smoked corn bread and fresh chocolate pecan cookies. Aloha

 

Not my entry!

Last week was working from home so I thought why not a pork butt!



My view from the “office”

I see you Bbq.


Time to rest!





Turned out pretty ok and almost made my entry!



If I didn’t find something for this weekend...

So my wife went to the store I ask for a tri-tip (for Easter/this contest) but all they had was waygu at $20/#. I told her I’d look later in the week.

I went back and found prime rib at $5.99/lb!

 

Entry!

I really like prime rib (standing rib roast) but have only cooked it on special occasions because it tends to be pricey.

Then I found it cheaper than tri-tip!

Also never smoked one.

Yum


Started off with two ribs. Then a simple SPOG rub over night. Then onto the kettle.



Started out for the first hour without monitoring but I got nervous. So I pulled out the probes.



I see you meat.



After a few hours I wrapped it and dropped it into the cooler for a rest.

Fired up the Q for a sear after the rest and some sides!





Cheers!


oops forgot the final photo.

 

Leftover meatloaf made into chili.
Edit: phone decided to not let me upload pics. Use your imagination. It looks like chili!

 

Give us some details! At least had a beer or something with them, right?

I have you down for that fantastic looking chicken and ginger noodle soup. Which entry would you like? Just one per person .

I trusted you wanted the second pic as your entry, right?

You, me, and @Kanyon71 are going to have our work cut out for us!

I'm up to 20 entries right now. Might have to enact an emergency plan for over 20 entries. I think the poll only lets me put in 20! If need be, we'll just split it in to two, then have a run-off between the top x number of vote getters?

 

@bvbull200 ... Just a thought...For the next contest how about a Noon deadline on whatever day so we can all go to bed at a decent time? Haha

 

You'll have all week to vote, pander for votes, and be nervous . Polls don't close until next weekend .

 

Or we'd have to host off-site. The poll anyways.

 

@Misplaced Nebraskan @bvbull200 @Kanyon71 can you all get together to share a bottle of Booker's 19-04? That's the only bribe I have!

 

Ohh.. I forgot to ask.. are there any bonus points for being a First Responder AND a Medical Helicopter Dispatcher?
