WooPigFoodie’s Competition Barbecue Sauce

April 21, 2020 By WooPigFoodie Leave a Comment

Bottles of Homemade Barbecue Sauce

As many of you know, I am a judge at the Memphis in May World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest held every May in Memphis, Tennessee. Boy that's a mouthful. But it's also a mouthful of great barbecue! And though I generally believe that if you are doing competition barbecue right you don't need sauce, if you are going to put sauce on it this is the competition sauce you need. Thick, rich, and sweet and with a little heat on the back end, this one is a competition superstar for pork and chicken. And it's so easy to make. (My wife likes it so much, she eats it on chips.) ...

Pulling up on that crunchy gravel lot, there will already be a line in front of Valentina’s Tex Mex BBQ in Austin, Texas. And you’ll probably say to yourself, do I really want to stand in line at yet another Austin food truck, especially this early in the morning on a Saturday? Don’t fool yourself….

Loro Austin is a Gorgeous Spot to Grab a Cocktail and a Tasty Bite

October 20, 2019 Leave a Comment

Loro Austin is gorgeous. Created by James Beard Award winners, Chef Tyson Cole of Uchi and Aaron Franklin of Franklin Barbecue, Loro Austin’s beautiful architecture floods the open space with sunlight. And it has great seating throughout. Barstools up front at the bar, tables, benches and booths on the wall. This place was well thought out.

Taqueria Azteca Makes the Best Tacos in Central Arkansas

October 6, 2019 Leave a Comment

Taqueria Azteca is my favorite place for tacos in Central Arkansas. (They have two spots, one in Maumelle and one in Benton.) They’re as authentico as I imagine they get, and certainly bring me back to those terrific taco places I’ve eaten at in Mexico.

There’s a special place in my heart for a Meat-n-Three, and Jestine’s Kitchen in Charleston, South Carolina is doing it right. It was hot as Blazes the day I came by, and the sweet greeting I received at the door was just as sweet as this frosty, cool sweet tea that came right quick. It…

Austin’s Uncle Nicky’s Italian Specialties is My Choice for Bombolini

September 14, 2019 Leave a Comment

Austin has a beautiful little Italian bakery called Uncle Nicky’s Italian Specialties. I fell in love with this place pretty quickly. It’s run by three guys who know their way around Italian pastries, putting together beautiful homemade pastries, all for a very fair price.

B Street Rib Off is Full of “A Street” Competitors

September 7, 2019 Leave a Comment

I love the smell of barbecue in the morning. Especially at a weekend competition that brings together great cooks, some live music, and plenty of cold beer. ‘Merica. Arkansas is full of such good times, and one of my favorites is the B Street Rib Off held in the Argenta district, in North Little Rock.

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.
