BBQ Brethren "Street Food" Throwdown!

Wow Al,
That looks awesome! :clap2:

O......M........G........

That sammie with that Giardiniera looks farking awesome. :hungry:

Zombie Sammich.

When it comes to street food in the city of Torrance you don't need to look any farther then the Farmers Market. There you will find many vendors with many different types of food to try. One that stands out in the crowed is Bigmister BBQ. I was there a couple of weeks ago and bought a brisket sandwich. :-D
I took a photo of it with my old phone so the photo sucks but one thing I can tell you is that this baby did not!



So this is where my journey to cooking my first brisket begins. I decided to duplicate Bigmistas Brisket sandwich.

I picked up this brisket at Sams club and put it in my freezer.


Pulled it out a couple days ago to thaw and when I opened it up to cook I realized that this was no ordinary piece of meat. What I had just might be a ZOMBIE HEAD! :icon_shy There was only one thing to do. TRY TO KILL THIS FARKER.

N8man & Gore, I might need you to take a closer look at this one.



So the first thing I did was try to smother it with Bigmistas Bitchin Beef Rub.!




Then I smoked the hell out of this thing intel I got A good bark on it and put it in tinfoil with a little apple juice. I thought for sure that would kill it. Nope, I smoked it more. When I could poke at it with my new thermopan and the ZOMBIE HEAD did not put up a fight I figured I had finely killed it.

As you can see by the photo it was still barkin at me just a bit. :shocked:


Next I sliced it up, thru it on a bun and pored Bigmistas Secret Sauce on it.


Yep, I killed it! Money shot.


Thanks for looking!

Great brisket sammie Silverfinger. :thumb:

Some really fine street food rolling in now! Hopefully I can beat this evening's deadline...

MMMMMMMMMZOMBIEBEEFSAMMICHMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!

Very nice brisky sandwich, you have the Bigmista crutch working for you there. :hungry:

Considering the condition of the zombie head when you started I'd say you hit it out of the neighborhood.

Let me show you (fire marshal Bill mod).

You will notice the long sad frown, the ear bitten off, the nose halfway eaten and the top of his head had been loped off (surly its brains had been eaten pre zombification). No doubt (no not the band) this transformation to zombie was brutal. You sir silverfinger, did the humane thing and smoked that farker. :thumb:

Nice steet food, Elrik. :thumb:

The photos you did get certainly show what you did, and the description is complete, so I wouldn't worry too much about the plated shots.

Good entry!

Venison Stew Pies

I loves me some fried meat pies. My cuz keeps us stocked up in venison and this time he gave us a few pounds of stew meat. Good timing since we were so ready for a good stew:thumb:.
Started out with 2.5 lbs cubed venison. Browned it up, added onions, garlic, beef stock, smoked salt, black pepper, oregano, and a bay leaf.


Cooked up in the DO


Added red skin potatoes and carrots around two hours in.


Added corn and shook together heavy cream and flour to thicken it up.


A taste test:-D


Took a pie iron and lined with pie dough and filled it up with stew.


Cooked over charcoal


The pie, not fried, but no complaints! Please use this shot, and thanks for looking!
