A Whirlwind Tour of New Orleans’ Food Scene

January 26, 2018 By WooPigFoodie Leave a Comment

I really love New Orleans. I’ve been there at least a dozen times. I love its art, music, people, history, culture, architecture and most of all, perhaps, its food. Last weekend a few friends and I went down to New Orleans for what was truly a whirlwind tour of its fantastic food scene. What ensued…

The Perfect Old Fashioned or Manhattan Cocktail

January 16, 2018 By WooPigFoodie Leave a Comment

I’ve been thinking for a while about the good old days, those days well before my birth when decent folk got together at 5 p.m. and had a good, stiff cocktail. I think we need to bring that back. I think it’s important to sit and talk and discuss and cheer one another on through…

Wright’s Barbecue is Doing All the Right Stuff in Northwest Arkansas

November 19, 2017 By WooPigFoodie Leave a Comment

I’m just going to come out and say it: I think Wright’s Barbecue may just be the best barbecue in the state. It makes Texas-style brisket, ribs, hot link sausage, pulled pork (ok, so not Texas), smoked chicken, brisket beans, mac+cheese, loaded baked potato salad, cheese grits, coleslaw, bacon green beans, cold shiner bock beer, chocolate…

I like to think of this as my director’s cut. I hope you enjoy it. In gastronomic history, the wings of gallus…

Heirloom Bakery & Hearth Makes a Beautiful Biscuit Sandwich

November 4, 2017 By WooPigFoodie Leave a Comment

Kibbey and I are starting the second day of our #KCEats trip at Heirloom Bakery & Hearth in the Mission Hills area of Kansas City. Kibbey is our resident breakfast aficionado, so what he says goes. He had heard about this place from several otherwise reputable friends, so this seemed a good bet. And it…

The Arkansas Soy Supper at Three Fold Noodles + Dumpling Co. Was a Real Hit

November 3, 2017 By WooPigFoodie Leave a Comment

Most of you already know that my wife is a vegetarian, and that I occasionally dabble with making vegetarian food for her, like that time I made hickory smoked tofu on my smoker, or that time I made my own version of Chipotle’s tofu sofritas tacos. Well last night’s Arkansas Soy Supper was a real…

This year they provided the professional smokers with Boston Heritage Hogs developed and raised by Katie Short of Farm Girl Meats. (The amateur teams each received a pork…

The Steak Rules

September 21, 2017 By WooPigFoodie Leave a Comment

While I’m sure such strong desires go back at least as far as our caveman (and cavewoman) days, steak has certainly had a special place in my own food memories going back to my childhood. Truth be told, we didn’t have much growing up (other than lots of kids and two hardworking parents), but every…

This review originally appeared as a guest post on Kevin Shalin’s wonderful blog The Mighty Rib. We had planned that we’d both review K Hall as part of our occasional series called He Said, He Said, but my cup runneth over and I far exceeded my word limits so Kevin posted it as a solo…

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.
