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

December 18, 2022 By WooPigFoodie Leave a Comment

Hand Steak

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 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…

SSOM 5

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…

Stretch

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 By WooPigFoodie Leave a Comment

Shed Feed 1

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…

BNO Tenderloin

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…

Erik Hodson, Boar's Night Out

I judged on site Whole Hog and Ribs at this year’s Memphis in May and when I was done I checked out some of the other teams. Boar’s Night Out makes a bunch of the steak rubs that I use at home, so I thought I’d drop by when I heard they got a call…

Texas Brisket on a Pellet Grill

February 20, 2022 By WooPigFoodie Leave a Comment

Beautiful Brisket 3

This is the one you’re looking for. Real Texas brisket, made on a pellet grill. I gave up messing around with fire after ten years of smoking meat. I got tired of the overnight panic worried that my fire had gone out or had gone on a hot tear. I went pellet and never looked…

Franklin Barbecue – For the Brisket (Only), It’s Worth the Wait

February 11, 2022 By WooPigFoodie 1 Comment

sliced brisket

This is not an “I hate Aaron Franklin” post. I like the guy. I have both of his books, first edition, day of publication. I’ve watched his whole series on PBS. I’ve watched his Masterclass. He’s a cool, smart dude. This is also not an “I hate the wait at Franklin” post. Truly it is…

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.
