WEEK 9 TOP CHEF Competition Challenge - BBQ

bayoutider · June 12th, 2009, 03:10 PM

Here we are down to the final 4 misfits. I have a challenge prepared for you that should really get you fired up. You can be as creative as you wish in this challenge that I call "Grillin-N-Chillin" from the old Bobby Flay and Jack McDavid show on Food Network.

Now if you remember correctly Bobby always used gas grills saying he got all his good flavors from the way he seasoned his food while Jack used charcoal saying you can't duplicate that good charcoal flavor on a gas grill. They were always at each others throats with some good puns. Jack was the country boy and Bobby was the city boy. Once they were both doing tuna steaks on their grills and Jack said "Bobby just look at the color on that steak right there", and Bobby came back with "Yeah Jack it's almost as red as your neck."

In this challenge you can only use a BBQ pit. Any kind of pit is ok, BGE, Webber, Old Smokie, David Klose, any kind. Even a hole in the ground as long as you use wood charcoal or LP gas.

Cook anything you want that will constitute a full meal. Beef, pork, fowl, fish, vegetables, fruit. Use any spice, seasoning, bottled sauce, alcoholic beverige, any wood, anything goes. As a precaution though if you want the judges to try your recipes make it something at least one of us can come up with the ingredients for. I think everyone can come up with at least 3-4 offerings. Don't use cookbook recipes and get caught, be original, make the dishes your own and sell them.

This may be a two week process so I will close the competition next Monday June 22 at 9 PM then the judges may take several days to eat a lot of BBQ.

Good luck and don't set the back yard on fire.

Just so everyone knows this is my outdoor kitchen equipment.

Masterbuilt 30" Electric smoker

Webber kettle charcoal grill
Bayou Classic 2 burner LP outdoor stove used mostly to fry fish, turkeys, boil seafood and make big pots of chili and gumbo.
I have 10' of countertop with sink and running water and electrical outlets.

That's some good lookin' grub bub.

I'm getting hungry for some BBQ yard bird myself.

I remember that quote by Booby, and that's another reason I don't care for him. He is an arrogant, self serving arse. Other than that, I guess he cooks "OK" for a jerk.

Hey Goose! Just so happened that I grilled some baby backs this evening and used your mop...again. Just like that last time, the ribs received rave reviews. Good stuff! Thanks again for the sauce! Sorry didn't mean to hijack this thread

Jack's food always looked better.

I had trouble with Bobby and what seemed like his arrogance for years then he started getting his butt kicked on Iron Chef America and Throwdown. That took a lot of the edge off for me and I can tolerate him more now. The old Bobby Flay show with that Jackie Malouf girl that sat on a stool and added usless chatter till it came to what wine to drink with Bobby's burnt corn is gone and that is a good thing.

A bit confused...is the deadline for this challenge today or next week? Also, if you like the style of food that Bobby Flay makes but don't care for him then look up Dean Fearing. As a matter of fact, if you like to cook and appreciate all things culinary you should probably look him up anyway.

Amazing what a slice of humble pie will do for your soul!
