The Best Little Diner in Vail, Colorado

Pancakes with Raspberries, Little Diner, Vail, CO

The Little Diner in Vail, Colorado is the Best Little Diner in town, and seriously serves the very best breakfast in town. I stopped into The Little Diner in Vail, Colorado on a recent trip and liked it so much I came back the next day to have it again. In 2008, taking over a restaurant already four decades old, chef Brian Little is serving up the best little and big breakfasts in Vail. From the beautiful berries and pancakes to the best breakfast burrito to the pannekoeken, a dreamy dish from my childhood. Definitely get the pannekoeken. ...

Hot Steaks Win at the Bison Madness SCA Comp in Carlisle, AR

December 18, 2022 Leave a Comment

It’s great to be a steak judge, especially late in the season when most folks have their SCA World Championship golden tickets and are hunting for points, so newer judges get their highly sought after passed-down Golden Ticket. And because so many competitors are champions crafting perfect steaks again and again. It sure makes the…

Dolewite Rocks Pigapalooza 2022 at the American Royal

October 26, 2022 Leave a Comment

Dolewite is a total trip. They are an old school hip-hop cover band out of Kansas City that mixes together all the tracks into a funky cool grove with a ton of curse words. So yeah, they’re awesome. They rocked Pigapalooza 2022 at the American Royal. Here’s a bunch of band and crowd pics. Everyone…

Sweet Swine O’Mine Shows a Serious Hog at Pigapalooza 2022 at the American Royal

October 26, 2022 Leave a Comment

Mark Lambert’s Sweet Swine O’ Mine has been a longstanding, serious contender in whole hog. I’ve seen them compete in pork shoulder at Memphis in May and I’ve spent many a weekend at Mark’s place eating his great cooking and enjoying his hospitality while judging SCA steak cookoff competitions. At Pigapalooza 2022 at the American…

First Class Barbecue out of Hempstead, Texas put up a really beautiful hog over at Pigapalooza 2022 at the American Royal in Kansas City, which raises money for Operation BBQ Relief. I think it was the prettiest hog of the night, and there were lots of contenders for that! Take a look and see what you…

October 26, 2022 Leave a Comment

There’s no showman like Stretch. From the cape, to the hair, to the attitude, Stretch is one cool cat. And for Pigapalooza 2022 at the American Royal, which raises money for Operation BBQ Relief, Stretch and his Grinders BBQ team pulled out all the stops, and four hams, leaving just a two-headed hog for the…

The Shed Pulls 3rd Place Hog at Pigapalooza 2022 at the American Royal

October 26, 2022 Leave a Comment

The Shed competition barbecue team is a trip. They throw a huge party, and everything seems a little tongue in cheek, lots of inside jokes, but one thing is not a joke: they are serious cooks. I’ve had their hog cooks on several occasions from Memphis in May to Pigapalooza and it’s always a juice…

Boar’s Night Out Wins 1st Place Hog at Pigapalooza 2022 at the American Royal

October 26, 2022 Leave a Comment

It’s always a lot of fun to watch Boar’s Night Out compete. They have a huge team of serious and fun cooks. Their food is no joke. But they’re pretty lighthearted about how they go about competing. And it’s always fun to see someone take a blowtorch to a hog. Here’s a bunch of photos…

The Thing About Fried Pickles

The thing about fried pickles is that you know they’re going to be hot. And you know that little cup of ranch dressing isn’t going to do it. You’re going to burn your mouth, your hands, and have hot vinegary dill pickle juice streaming down your chin and dripping onto the table. That’s just the way it is. And you don’t care. So you dive in, and burn yourself good. And it’s fantastic.
