    @SonVolt dude you ain’t playin. 

    I just called my sister and told her. Happy birthday, kid. She gave him a tour when she was at Johnson and Wales. She was one of the students they had give tours to the visitors and he was giving a speech to the graduates. He stopped the tour and took them across the street to a bar and bought them a few rounds to talk about “why they wanted to be chefs”. Really gave them an inside look at what their future would hold past the text books and classes. 

    I have mad respect for him.

    How is one considered a troll? Apparently to some people I’m a troll account. I’m not but whatever. Maybe I can pull a Bluegrass and just leave. Clearly several people get all butthurt when “newbies” join in the fun. Also when does one stop becoming a newbie? I’ve been here almost 5 months.

    I've been here a week and my PM box is full of people asking me "who are you really?" 
    Probably because you come off as a know it all with nothing proved to date.

    Let me just toss out 20 years of cooking experience because I joined a new forum. Right.

    Not at all.  I think the suggestion is just to share some of your cooks here, from the Egg or anything else really. I certainly hope you do.

    I will, definitely.  I've spent the last few weekends getting to know the BGE, so still learning it's quirks.  Pics to come.

    Well you did arrive awfully close to the time when Bluegrass left and also the time when Wes Johnson Stiffed Ron on $11.

    I probably have more in common with Wes Johnson than Bluegrass... even Wes, the thief that he is, knows a 1/2" ribeye is called deli meat.

    There have been a lot of troll accounts here of late.  So when new people show up who post let’s say a little differently from the usual, folks are not surprisingly a bit circumspect.

    I get that with every troll account I start too. They can’t just let it play out and let the magic happen.

    You all tell me, who looks like a snooty ahole here?

     Rodney Scott. (Pure Humble BBQ Genius)


    I didn't know who this guy was at the time I read this thread. Heard an interview with him on the Serious Eats podcast this morning and apparently he's opening a joint up in Birmingham with the Jim 'n Nick's guys. That's just down the road from me.... sweet.

    Oh god. Don't bring this thread back from the dead. But yes Rodney Scott is awesome.

    How can he be as good as APL? Some of his cooks only have four ingredients and three steps.

    What I find amusing is APL's flagship steak house cooks all their steaks on a broiler with only salt and pepper. None of this herb basting, and board sauces and anal retentive fiddling.

    The new one in LA?  Reviews of his steaks from some of the folks on here have been ... less than flattering.

    His books are pretty good.  I usually don’t follow all of the steps, but rather pick and choose what I really feel like doing.  The recipes he has for the beef tenderloin, pork loin, rack of lamb, they are all worth doing in full.

    That’s kinda been my approach.  Pick and choose the steps that make sense to me. Moistening my fingers with water and rubbing the seasoning into the meat does not.
