HolySmokes,
Thank you man. Shooooweee! That PBR in a tall glass sounds good right now. What a relief. The USDA inspector just checked out my kitchen and operation here and I passed with flying colors!! Yeeehooowaa! He is writing up a report in his car right now (hopefully it's as good as he said it would be), and in 10 minutes I got the all clear 'til next time they come 'round!!! LOL. I was nervous, but am starting to feel some relief![p]I'm good on the flu shot. Keep that thing away from me!
Cheers
Chris

Nature Boy,
Good to hear about the inspection. Gotta be a big relief for sure. I didn't get a chance to chime in about this past weekends success, but was real happy for you guys when I read the results. That has gotta be one heck of a feeling, knowing that all of that hard work with real good people culminates into not only great food, but a 1st palce to boot! Sometime I want to talk to you about them there Chicken thighs. Those look real gooooooooood. Again, congrats.

Nature Boy,

Nature Boy,
you actually do make all those rubs at home in your kitchen? Here I just assumed some trustworthy company assembled those for you.

Nature Boy

RRP,
Yeppers. All done here on the premises. It is tough to find a trustworthy copacker that can produce a fresh ground product such as we can ourselves. The way things are going, it will not be long at all before I need to move the DPUSA headquarters to a place other than my home though. Wild stuff.
Cheers!

Nature Boy

mad max beyond eggdome,
Yep. Slave labor was all locked up in the pit I dug.
Good thing. He was a little early too. Good thing they were already down there.

Hey Seth
Yeah, I knew from his accent that it was a totally different guy than last time (when I first started). Ya always hear these horror stories about inspectors that have something to prove....maybe a short-guy complex or sumthin ya know? They can make your life a living hell. [p]The chicky thighs cook about 2 hours direct on the upper grate. Skin down toward the end. Just a lot of love, and moving around to get a nice even color built up just about the time they are done inside. We use mainly Raging River. Thanks for the kind words, dewd! [p]Beers

RRP,[p]I've actually been there when he was grinding, and let me tell you, the whole house smells incredible with all those spice flavors wafting around![p]Nothing like freshly ground DP rubs![p]Tonia
