Lookin' mighty fine. What did you put on those fries (sweet potato fries?)? I see you used the top to help it stand up so you ould sear it on all sides. We did something similar to that using a Lodge CI bacon press.

@Griffin: I should have given credit to you on that idea (I saw it whilst browsing the pit beef posts on the forum), but I had forgotten who had posted it.They are sweet potato fries (Alexia brand), and we put sriracha and curry mayos on them. You can either mix sriracha and curry powder with store-bought mayo or make your own mayo, which is way more fun. I think the proportion we use is roughly 1T:1C of flavoring:mayo, but maybe start at 1t and increase to taste.Oh, and if you're making your own mayo for the sriracha version, try bacon fat mayo as the base. Here's a recipe:
1 cup liquid bacon fat
2 egg yolks
Juice of one lemon
1/2 tsp. Dijon mustard
Salt
Pepper
Mix all ingredients EXCEPT BACON FAT. Using a food processor or immersion blender (immersion blender is preferable), slowly add the liquid bacon fat while blending, until smooth and creamy.

No worries. I'm sure I picked it up from somebod else as well but can no longer member where.We all pick up ideas here and there. That's what its all about, the sharing of ideas.
Love the sound of those sriracha and curry mayos. Never had a curry mayo before. Thanks for sharing that.

Looks great! Been too long since I've had a good pit beef sandwich. My wife and I may actually be heading to Baltimore in the near future to visit family. May hafta get my fix while I'm up there.
That homemade mayo sounds sinfully delicious! How long do you figure that will that keep in the fridge? -
@Griffin: curry mayo is my favorite. Always glad to share.@Dyal_SC: Mayo should keep about 5-7 days, but we go through it faster than that. The recipe I gave is not a whole lot to make at a time, so if you like mayo (and bacon), you'll go through it quickly.If you want to make curry or sriracha mayo in bulk, so you can store it, I'd recommend just going with Hellman's. You can use whey to do a kind of lacto-preservation on homemade mayo, supposedly, but I've never done it.You might want to ask @Eggcelsior for his recommendation of the best place to go in Bawlmer, but I personally like Chaps.[Northern] Virginia is for [meat] lovers.

@Dyal_SCPioneer Pit Beef, Beefalo Bob's and Canopy Pit Beef are all great.Chaps is my favorite. Can't beat dinner and a show(It's in a strip club parking lot).Where are you staying? I just gave you Catonsville, Pasadena, Ellicott City and East Bawlmer. There are some up in the Towson area too. Pioneer is basically a shack under 695/70 interchange with no seating. Cash only.

Not sure on the details yet, but the wife's family is in Ellicott City. Thx for the heads up! I'll try and hit up at least one of those. My wife's cousin said she's going to introduce us to the best crab cakes in the USA. Can't remember the name of the restaurant, but will shoot you a PM when I find out.

Post here when you find out, most of my coworkers think it is G&M, and while they are fantastic, I'd love to hear other opinions and do some more research.Dyal_SC said:Not sure on the details yet, but the wife's family is in Ellicott City.

Also, +1 to Pioneer, that is right by my office and I hit it up at least monthly.

Faidley's, Pappas or Koco's for crab cakes. Me no likey G&M's Southeast Asian imported crab. They are huge cakes though. Orbryckis closed their Fell's Point location but are still going at BWI airport.For the Baltimore institutions it is always Faidleys and Orbryckis. The yardsticks others are measured by.Faidleys is an experience to say the least. Order a crab cake and grab beer and oysters at the raw bar. This is one of those things that 9 people will have 9 different opinions on. I can guarantee one thing. They are all better than anything you get anywhere else in the US. There is a reason restaurants all over offer "Maryland-style" crab cakes.

I've only tried the pit beef three times. ~425 direct, dome closed except for frequent turning. I will tell you by that experience, the internal temps rose about 30 degrees after pulling. The first came out med-well. The last came out closer to med. I prefer med rare.Delaware Valley, PA Large BGE, CGS adjustable rig, iQue110, High-Que grate

@Eggcelsior and @Acn ... My wife's cousin just messaged me back. She said Kokos in the Hamilton/Lauraville area is her favorite for crab cakes. Can't wait to try them out!

@dyal_sc your wife's family has good taste. Go Thursday for the crab cake special. Make reservations! Get the cc platter and the steamed shrimp. Booyah! Hopefully they will have Heavy Seas on tap.
