On the western edge of the Shenandoah Valley, at the headwaters of the historical Cedar Creek there is a dot on the map by the name of Zepp. Every year we load the satellite dishes in the truck and head over the mountain to enjoy a few days of basketball, friendship and food. What your about to see is a example of why the food ALWAYS tastes better when surrounded by friends and post card views. I hope you enjoy, I sure did.
We headed over the mountain Thursday morning to get the TV's set up and the UDS hot. This is the last view before cresting the mountain into the Cedar Creek Valley. The view is of an area just north of Woodstock, Va, the seven bends of the Shenandoah Valley in the background.
Seven racks of ribs and a pork butt getting prepped.
Although we had plenty of sides, there was no chance of the ribs touching a plate. We simply placed them on the cutting board (unsauced) and devoured all 6 racks in less than 10 minutes. I did have sauce available, the BH Tennessee Red was the favorite among the group.
The next morning we decided to get a little crazy with the second pork butt. We injected with a soy sauce/apple juice combo and rubbed with a black pepper and Asian spice blend. We used a heavy coat of sriracha to bind the rub.
On the UDS at 10:30 am with a 17 pound corned beef brisket.
For lunch we had a mini fatty throwdown between 2 local butchers. I had to fight my way through the kitchen to snap this picture. (BTW- Gore's Meats won)
The sriracha pork but was amazing (sorry no pics). We didn't end up finishing with the Korean BBQ Sauce (it didn't need it). We intentionally wrapped to capture the soy/apple "juices" and it made in incredible dip for the pulled pork. I WILL do this again.
Here is a pic of the Corned Beef Brisket, We had planned for ruebens the next day but the beef didn't make it past the late night munch.
Just when I thought things couldn't get any better the ladies showed up with the youngin's on Saturday. I spend the afternoon fishing with my 2 favorite people on earth. They both landed a couple trout, the fish were lucky that it is catch and release.
