Awe come on CD your a car guy, surely this is the derby you had in mind. :heh:

Actually, my first thought was roller derby, but couldn't think of food for that, so I settled for Kentucky Derby. :loco:

I love cars, but try not to run into other cars with them. :becky:

Good lord brother, what the fark are you guys feeding your pigs down there?!!! Big Block, large and in charge with the farking giant ribs. Nice! :thumb:

I'm torn between the ribs and the butt. I would probably hit either of them. Those ribs are clearly mighty good to be competing against that butt. There's only on butt pic though. Do you have any other pics of the butt to help make up my mind?

Nothing says Derby like some good old fashioned gourmet party food. This gourmet burger was made with ~ 1 pound ground beef, custom shaped to fit a fresh croissant. It was topped with a healthy layer of sharp white cheddar, lettuce and bacon.

It was so good, that I'll have another.

Al's Kentucky Derby Burgoo...

Like Biggie, I had no idea what was appropriate food for the Kentucky Derby so I did a quick search... Low and behold, I stumbled upon some thing called Burgoo :shocked:.
Burgoo-

Date: 1700's
1 : oatmeal gruel or thick porridge chiefly used by seamen; loblolly
2 : hardtack and molasses cooked together
3 a : U.S., a stew or thick soup of meat and vegetables orig. served at outdoor gatherings in Southern States - Also a favorite at the Kentucky Derby.

The first two didn't sound too tasty, but number three fit the bill (especially after I added the last part :heh. Truth be told, I didn't need to add it as will be seen below.

What is Burgoo?
Burgoo is a soup or stew made from meats and vegetables. Historically it was cooked outdoors in iron kettles over an open wood fire; cooking would take 12 hours or more.

Burgoo and the Kentucky Derby

"Burgoo King," Winner of 1932 Kentucky Derby, "Bred in Old Kentucky" A little trivia: “Kentucky Burgoo” is the celebrated stew which is served in Kentucky on Derby Day, at Political Rallies, Horse Sales and other outdoor events. Mr. J. T. Looney, of Lexington, is one of Kentucky’s most famous Burgoo-makers and it was for him that Mr. E. R. Bradley named his 1932 Kentucky Derby winner “Burgoo King”. The blanket of roses designed in 1931, by Mrs. Kingsley Walker for the Kentucky Derby winner was first worn in 1932 by “Burgoo King”. Burgoo King, chestnut colt, by Bubbling Over - Minawand by Lonawand, Winner 1932 Kentucky Derby and Preakness. His sire, Bubbling Over, won Kentucky Derby in 1926. Owned by Col. E.R. Bradley, Idle Hour Farm, Lexington, Ky.





Ok... Enough background. On to the cook. I couldn't find any classic ingredients like mutton or rabbit, and out of respect to Ninja I decided against using squirrel. After rooting around in the freezer, I ran across some frozen vacu sucked brisket point and pulled pork. Needing one more meat for the trifecta, I decided to go with yard bird.


Here is the brisket point and pulled pork:

I had to grill up the chicken:

Veggies for the Burgoo:

Spuds, onion and garlic in the CI dutch oven:

The Burgoo recipe calls for the meat trifecta to be boiled :shocked: but that's not how we roll on the Czervik ranch so I chopped up the beef, pork and chicken after SMOKING and or GRILLING it:

Some leftover homegrown tomato/green pepper sauce from last year's garden:

Everyone in the pool:

After about two hours simmering on low:

The money shot served up with some green chili/cheddar cornbread and the mandatory mint julep:

Thanks for looking. :mrgreen:
