Hey, going to try and make those pickles soon. I saw where you said they are ready in a day or two. Can they sit longer than that or is that optimal? i mean are they good after a couple weeks? Never made pickles before.

I've made these pickles a ton (mostly for cubans) and I've had them in the fridge for months. Using seedless works better for the longer storage as they are crunchier compared to the norm with seeds.

I read through some of this and man so cool. Congrats on getting the place up and running. This has nothing to do with you, I was laughing at your reference that you should open a place up. I just think it is funny that when you start to get into BBQ and friends and family start to dabble in your cooking, they all start saying, “You should open a place up” My wife brings in left overs to work and when I show up at her place they all compliment me and give me the “Open a place up” line. Little do they know I have no idea what I am doing and none of my recipes are my own. I just follow videos and the likes of this page. I will say that I believe that my BBQ is better than the two places here locally. One just sucks and the other is just a little better than sucks. Not to mention I over paid them once and they counted it the mistake in the drawer and gave me store credit would not give my cash back. You think I ever went back?
Wish you the best of luck. Seems like things are off to a great start, hope it only gets better.

Stopped by the Fat Cap a couple weeks ago when they opened on a Tuesday. Introduced myself to Jeremy, and talked to him for a minute, he was cutting for lunch rush. All is going well, selling out every day. He said they were adding another Southern Pride for catering and backup for the restaurant. Had the brisket and burnt ends, both where moist , tender, and well balanced. Keep up the great work Jeremy.

This is good to hear. I hope someday, when and if he feels up to it, Jeremy can tell us how the Prized Pig story ended.
This thread was a unique. First off Jeremy was a great writer, and his story was equal parts entertaining and educational. One day Jeremy's update would leave me inspired ... wanting to try my hand at the restaurant game. Then his next update would be a slap in the face that would remind me I was an idiot for ever thinking I could handle the hours and the stress he was under.

Just saw this thread today, and wow what an incredible journey! I'm glad Jeremy landed on his feet and is doing what he loves again. I too would be curious as to what happened in the end with the famous Prized Pig story. Happy Q'ing Jeremy!

How about some more drama to this epic tale?
So, I'm no longer at Fat Cap. About a month ago I broke my hand (non-workplace injury). Therefore I was unable to work. So guess what they did? They fired me. Still using all of my recipes and techniques, but since I got hurt and couldn't work for a while they just decided to let me go. So incredibly unprofessional. But there's not much I can do about it. Of course it could be a blessing in disguise, because guess what they have decided to do since I left? They are moving away from only selling fresh BBQ to now cooking excess and just cooling/reheating meat just so they can stay open longer and avoid putting a "sold out" sign up. So if you go in there now you don't know if you'll be getting that day's fresh BBQ or something from earlier in the week that was just warmed back up. That's not how I do BBQ and I wouldn't be able to stand behind the meat counter and consciously serve people knowing that was the case. The funny thing is, they even announced on facebook that they were going to start doing this! Then customers started calling them out on the leftovers and now they have started deleting all of the facebook comments talking about serving leftover BBQ. So at the end of the day, I guess it's good I'm not there any longer. They only care about making a few extra bucks rather than serve up the highest quality food. The silver lining to this story? Almost immediately when word began to spread that I was fired, people began contacting me. And I'm in the early stages of working with a local chef and restauranteur who is in the process of opening a BBQ restaurant and needed a consultant and pitmaster. It's a little too early to share details on this venture, but it sounds exciting. They are actually picking up two smokers from Tennessee on Sunday and getting them up here to hopefully begin catering for Notre Dame football in just a few weeks and use that to build up some hype before the restaurant is slated to open in early 2019. Is there ever a dull moment? |

Thank you for continuing to keep us updated. Sorry to hear of your woes, but sounds like you are getting really, really, good at bouncing back. All the best to you, and the family.

Good job.
If you are not consciously working at self-promotion now would be a good time to start. You have a great story and the food columnist for the local newspaper should hear it if he/she has not. Someone in your network of restaurant friends knows this columnist and should be able to arrange a meeting for you. It's an even exchange; you have a story you'd like to get out and the columnist needs material to publish. If you have a good photo of your closed restaurant, take it along. It may get published. Your new employer would be ecstatic, too, if you get some ink. |
