Alright Here's Your Chance To Live Up To your Reputation! - Page 2

I just bought my first smoker and I'm looking for some tips on smoking pork butts, turkeys and who knows what. Being that K.C. is known for its b-b-q and such I figure I can get some pretty good advice. Thanks in advance! But keep in mind I'm comparing notes with my friends who live in N. Bama so your reputation is at stake!

Yes I did. The wife and I had good seats around the 38 yard line. It was embarrassing loosing to the Saints but we kept yelling our arses off and telling ourselves its only preseason. After the game we strolled down Burbon street and drank our (KC's) loss away! :D However, I must confess it was really fun being in a KC jersey in a sea of black and gold.

I am glad to see Houston got a new franchise so I have another chance to see the Chiefs. I only get the chance to see KC when they play here (New Orleans) and now in Houston. Dallas, Tennessee and Atlanta are too far away. I keep waiting for the Chiefs to align a Super Bowl with the year that New Orleans has it. To me that would be the ultimate!

As for your grill tips... hey in this state/area you better be able to cook! Most people associate Louisiana with cooking and they are right! :cool:

Yeah, I made that drive, too. I had decent seats but met up w/ my uncle & family from Mississippi (originally from KC) and they didn't. So, I was in the nosebleeds. Some guys started heckling me after the game and I shut them up by asking where the paper bags normally over their heads were....

I know about LA cooking, that's why I considered your post a compliment. I was in Lafayette last week and ate at Riverside Po Boys - I try to hit that place every time I'm in that area. I don't make it to BR nearly as often and am still looking for a restaurant "staple" there. I'm sure you can help me, right?

Just a couple of small things that seem to work well

When smoking a turkey always use a double wide paper.... No thats not it. ......
If you put a stick or two of butter in the cavity it helps keep the bird moist.

Speaking of Turkey I have a friend that always cooks a turkey on the top rack and puts the Ribs on the bottom. All the juices drip on the ribs while they are cooking. It works very well.

Riverside is an excellent Po-Boy place but next time your in New Orleans try the Louisiana Seafood Exchange. As for "staple" resturants in Baton Rouge... Ralph & Kacoo's, T.J. Ribs, Ruth's Chris, Juban's, Mansuers, Mike Anderson's, Hunan's and Don's Seafood all come to mind. Baton Rouge seems to have a plethora of Chinese and Lebanese cuisine as well.

I personally like Midendorf's on bayou Manshac. In New Orleans there is Commander's Palace, Emerils, Brenens, Louisiana Seafood Exchange and any number of places out on Lake Ponchtrain.

I believe Riverside's began as a family run Po-Boy place, but it has evolved into the finest dining in Lafayette now. Nearly everything they have is killer and they even have an Emu appetizer....

I've been to Ralph & Kakoo's, Ruth's, and maybe a couple other BR establishments but I'll try to check out the others next time I'm in town.

There is a cajun restaurant in BR run by a former Redskin's player - Brunets? Is that it? It's not too bad either.

I can't believe I forgot about the Chimes near LSU. They have the best aligator and a VARIETY of beers from around the world. I had ostrich at the Ralph & Kacoos on Toulouse Street (before they were bought out by Picadilly ;) ) in New Orleans. All this talk of food is making my stomach growl :p

I'm off to lunch!

Oh and yes Brunet's (on Flannery) is still here. Best damn crab balls around! Pure Cajun Cuisine.

Chimes sounds like my kind of place!

That's where I'll be eating my next time in town....
