Agree with @jcaspary but unfortunately I'm gonna need @tarheelmatt to revert to plan z for me to get 1 like over him

Finally! Thank you @Jeremiah for breaking the ice! Looks like you are eating well tonight!

Ozzie_Isaac

Working on the meal now.  Not going to let a little snow flurry get me down.

There you go.  The pictures have been added.  I figured it was either go big or go home.  Since I'm not generally the stand out when it comes to grilling I decided to throw everything but the kitchen sink at the Throwdown!!!  The steak was a Porterhouse coated in salt and pepper then grilled caveman style at 500 degrees.  Grilled about two and a half to three minutes per side to a perfect medium.  Then it was topped with a butter medallion made with sautéed garlic, parsley, oregano, and basil.  The salmon was brined for about 18 hours, coated with Kodiak River rub by BGE, then grilled at 450 degrees with slices of lemon on the salt block.  About half way through grilling the salmon I started brushing a maple honey glaze with a little lemon juice to loosen it up a little.  The caveman steak and the salmon on the salt block were my first attempt at both.  Never tried caveman and never used the salt block.  This won't be the last time though.  For sides we had gnocchi with a garlic butter sauce and brussel sprouts with bacon.

Well played  Hoyt is like the BGE.  Lots of haters till you try it.

@ozzie_Isaac It would be nice to have you enter the contest.  Before it is all said and done I'm sure my entry will be crushed by many.  It was so much fun to do and a learning experience.  Normally I don't post many of my cooks good or bad.  I felt it was cheesy to post cooks of regular food that isn't that special.  I have learned though that it is more fun than embarrassing and can be a valuable learning experience not only for myself but also for others that are just starting out and getting their feet wet on the Egg.

Ok, I posted.  I did learn as I was posting I should read the rules first  

GalanteNate_OneEa

Some kick ass meals goin on tonight! This is exactly the kind of stuff I wanted to see. Some cool originality.

It was difficult choosing the 5 photos. Also after posting I noticed some of my text was missing so I had to go back and add it in.  This was a fun cook. Thanks for heading this up @GalanteNate_OneEa

I see your reading comprehension is as good as mine.  Imagine if you had to only choose 4 like the rules say?

  

NPHuskerFL

@Ozzie_Isaac you may want to re-read those rules.  

"You may opt to include one additional photo (but not mandatory), of your choice, of any part of the process." 

Unless I read this wrong that makes 5. @GalanteNate_OneEa :grey_question: 

NPHuskerFL

I'll gladly erase a pic if I'm only supposed to have 4.

1. Picture ingredients (I forgot that :( )
2.  1 picture of ingredients on grill
3.  One plated picture
4a.  One additional if you want.
4b.  One more if you are @NPHuskerFL

NPHuskerFL

Ok. NP. Erased.

What?  No I was kidding.  At least you should have drug it out past the hour and then said, I tried to comply, but stupid vanilla won't let me.

Put the pic back!

That MM photo was awesome!  At least post it in here.

NPHuskerFL

No @Ozzie_Isaac I believe in being fair across the board. I misinterpreted the optional photo as being a number 5 photo. My bad  
I can post a full pictorial but, after the contest egg. I didn't even posted my obligatory gif pic.  

HendersonTRKing

Just heard that snow and sleet is headed for The 302. May knock me out of my first throw down.  We shall see. Good luck to all intrepid all-weather and warm weather eggers. 

mgd_egg

Nice work guys! Can't wait to see what's next. You both deserve a shaker of Meat Church!

grege345

@HendersonTRKing  were expecting 3" today. Get your game face on. Today is the day

jcaspary

@Ozzie_Isaac  no  chuckles at all. Love the rolled pork loin. Looks awesome with the crab. 
@NPHuskerFL that whole fish looks crazy good.  Always wanted to try something like that but am afraid of all the bones. 

HendersonTRKing

Awesome whole meal cooks already posted from @Jeremiah, @NPHuskerFL, @jcaspary.  My appetizer mightn't hold up, but I'm still going with it.  Coffee break's over.  Back on my head.    

GalanteNate_OneEa

I'm glad I'm not the judge cause at this point  I'd be fronting enough rub to pay for the @MeatChurch 2016 family vacation , keep em comin, these look awesome! I'm glad I went with the surf and turf, really good cooks so far and I'm expecting more to come!
