Cooking for the folks at work... ongoing

[ronbrad62]

My boss asked me if I would be interested in cooking BBQ for everyone out of our satellite warehouse today, if he could get my route covered. We are going to have 30-40 people, by far the largest crowd I have cooked for. It's our first in person get together since you-know-what started, so they wanted to do something special. I agreed that if I would get paid as if I were working, no problem, so here we go.
We planned on brisket, pulled pork and chicken. The brisket (one packer, one flat), are about to go on, then I will trim the butts and get them on around 2 am. He is having the sides taken care of, so half the work is done for me. I will update as things progress.

Good luck! No pressure :becky:

3 butts, 1-1/2 per pan.
I've been here for just over 22 years, and if someone tells me,
"hey, this is really good, you should do this for a living." Should I be concerned?

"Should I be concerned?"

Only if you consider it.

Looking forward to more pron.

Good practice run for your future part-time retirement business. :wink:

Lack of sleep may become an issue around serving time. You can do this. You can do this....

That's all I need is to say something really stupid around our zone/region bosses.

Brisket and flat wrapped.
I NEED COFFEE!

Looks Great!!!
Your coworkers are going to be impressed!!
Pulling a long night cook can be difficult and coffee can help, but it will all be worth it when they start wanting you to do this more often. Just make sure you get paid for it.

Hey Ron, Slide on over to the PB, Breakfast is Ready, and PLENTY of Coffee!!!

Hey, Ron this seems like an awesome opportunity. Plus if you are getting paid to do this, almost makes you a true professional now. That brisket looks excellent, I know you will knock it out of the park.

 

[rwalters]

You guys hiring?!?! Looking to start today

 

[ronbrad62]

I have 4 pans of chicken, just like this. Two are on the drum, these two just went on the WSM. It seems like the big brisket is out of the stall, and almost done. The flat that came off earlier and has been resting.....OMG! It is without a doubt the best one I have ever cooked.
