Miami GP Menu

EzraBrooks

I know Sunday is Mother's Day, but for F1 fans it's a big day because of the inaugural Miami Grand Prix. It's a nice change of pace because the race is actually in the afternoon rather than morning like when it is in Europe.

Menu at my place is going to be ABTs, smoked potato skins, taquitos, and Cuban sliders. That way everyone can graze as we watch the race. 

Other F1 fans, what are you cooking?

I have it set on my dvr. Since I watched that Netflix show I have some interest. We shall see if it blossoms or wains. 👍🏻

I'm a guest at my son's house (race will be watched, menu TBD) but he also steered me to the Netflix F1 series.  I did get to the 1968-1970 (old here) F1 races at Watkins Glen, NY.  Great times but life got in the way and I lost interest.
Now back in it and looking to make the Vegas race in 2023 (if still on the planet).  Figure a life's bookend event.  FWIW-

Never done them before, but here is my plan:

1) Take King's Hawaiian rolls and slice in half so you have a top sheet and a bottom sheet.
2) Slather the insides of both with mustard
3) Pile on the bottom in this order: leftover pulled pork, deli ham, dill pickle slices, and swiss cheese.
4) Top with top sheet.
5) Brush tops with melted garlic butter
6) Sprinkle Everything Bagel Seasoning over the tops
7) Bake indirect on the egg at 400 until hot all the way through (thinking 15-20 min)

It’s very well done.  I was never really interested in F1 before I started watching that series.

This is a great way to make a crap ton of breakfast sandwiches as well - can do this for a crowd with scrambled eggs, bacon or sausage or both, cheese, etc.  bake a whole sheet of them at once…now I’m hungry.

I was the same way.  Hooked on the show now.

@Hook_emHornsfan_74 - Some tix still available for the F 1 race in Austin in October.

Some of you may know by now the world class race car driver Juan Pablo Montoya is an avid EGGhead and proud owner of two XL and one Large BGE's that he uses all over the world. I had the privilege and honor to talk to JPM about the Formula 1 Miami GP on this weeks episode of Cooks and Cars - RaceDay Nation edition. 

How can it stand the test of time, how weather will impact the race, where the greatest passing opportunities will come from, can F1 withstand another GP in the US and will Andretti ever get a team in F1.

He gives a corner by corner description of the track as he saw it from the cockpit of a McLaren P1 supercar.

He drops some major advice for parents trying to get their kids into racing.

Plus why he loves cooking pizzas and smoking briskets on the Big Green Egg.

That's all the way back to "the long hair days" of Formula 1.

As you might guess- the price points are up there but given Texas...

Mercedes strong in practice.   Upgrades effective or being trolled by Red Bull running a low power setting????

I think Max and Checo turn it on today for FP3 and Quali. Max had some problems yesterday which kept him off the track for most of P2.

Ferrari on fire and the whole show at Miami looks off the charts.   Welcome to the new F1 era and long may it continue - was getting bit shabby under Bernie, who to be fair to him saved it himself, back in the day. 
VAG under the Audi & Porsche banner on their way back in too.

F1 Miami GP’s Fake Water in Its Marina Becomes Talk of the Town (msn.com)

I haven't watched any of this weekends footage, but stumbled on this article.

Sounds about right, he has a fake football team too.

I’ve looked into going to Austin, pass by the track often, but price drove me away to stay at home and watch on TV.   IMO, for what you pay and how little you actually get to see (as opposed to say NASCAR) I opted for TV coverage and cheap beverages.

Here's my plate, glad that Max took it home.

I didn't cook anything over the weekend. But I had some great seafood at 2 Miami restaurants (A fish Called Avalon and Amara).

The food at the track was OK. Mostly food trucks and pop ups - Pizza, BBQ, Fried Chicken, etc.  What was really bad was that a lot of places ran out of food. And while some didn't run out, they did stop taking new orders so that they could catch up.

Bottled water at $5 each was my drink of choice, but there was plenty of Heineken, vodka drinks, and Sierra Mist, as well (more choices than I remember).

And man was it hot!  Sun pounding on you all day. Any place shady was filled with people. The food tent had people parked at the tables for hours.
