John you bringing some?

I probably can.  I just posted that pic because we're four days away, and I know we have some Bourbon fans coming.

Most likely you don't need to as there will be 100% more adult beverages than we could all drink in a week!

I think you vastly underestimate this crowd Jim.  I am disappointed in you.

Well started my prep work for the BB. Harvested about a gallon of fresh squeezed  Ruby Red Grapefruit juice. It will be available with Tito's out of the back of my Outback Bar. Available after Bloody's of course. Remember, it is important to build a solid healthy base before moving to the burbone slushies. 

You guys be drinking your bourbon while I will be taking care of your ladies.

General question to the masters who will be in attendance:  if I bring a uncured pork belly from Costco, will someone show me how to do a good cook with it other than bacon? I have tried a few different methods, but have not what I have considered success with anything. I figure this might be the perfect opportunity given the circumstances. Let me know.  I will be happy to pick up the belly and any ingredients needed. I want to learn the technique and I figure someone here might be willing to share/instruct. 

S2S, 

Bring it on.  Last year I did a char sui pork belly taco.  I thought it was pretty good, though I didn't cook whole.  I cut them into strips.  Cooking is the same though really.  

See here: http://eggheadforum.com/discussion/1194195/nc-butt-blast-documenting-the-atrocities/p8


NOLA will be there to assist and is probably well versed with it than I.  

In regards to the campground.  There's a code folks can provide you to come and go.

Quick Question:

Does anybody have any knowledge or experience with “Kitchen & Company” store in Asheville.  They carry all kinds of outdoor grilling stuff.  Website shows they have Rockwood, Wicked Good, FOGO and all kinds of accessories, rubs and sauces.

I’m thinking about stopping in if it’s worth it.  

Couple neat places.  Note that @UTAsports, who is helping A LOT for BB 2017 carries Rockwood and has Dizzy Pig, John Henry, and Meat Church stuff.  He's ramping up his offerings too such as @tjv items (Ceramic Grill Store / Tom ).  

Not discouraging your stop by, do that by all means.  

There's a place in Mooresville called the Grill Doctor (I think) that has a lot of stuff too.

I think the master when it comes to this kind of thing is probably @nolaegghead, and I'm sure he'll be happy to tell you what he knows.  

I'm bring some SV Berkshire pork belly that uses a Japanese marinade I found on Serious Eats(buta no Kakuni). It's in the SV now and I'm going to grill it on Friday night.


We could do a slow cook then sear with a savory half and a sweet half after marinating Friday night
* with yours, that is

@Eggcelsior that sounds fantastic!  Consider another pork belly available to do that. It has been wet aging for 2 months in the fridge, so this will be a good use for it!

I can bring a pop up canopy and an extra chair or two as well if needed.

Done.

Ok our plan is coming together, Friday night BBQ bacon shrimp. Saturday AM going to bake a breakfast casserole, breakfast sausage on Kings Hawaiian buns, Gator bites with Jalamango Lime sauce for dipping and some killer gator sausage. At some time in the afternoon KayNOcook will serve the apple cake she bakes in the small Friday.

That all sounds absolutely terrible Jim!

I'm planning on the SV chicken tender satays with a Jalamango lime baste for Saturday.

I'll be ordering Dominos.  Just checked and they deliver! 

I plan to take  pictures with high saturation of red of the pizza to disguise that it came from Dominos.

Thank you Jim!  Those that live in your dust always tend to stir it up.  Original quote!  Looking forward to seeing you and Kay my friend.  Your request seems somewhat insincere....
