This second week of June spotlights Gingerbread, Applesauce Cake, Chocolate Ice Cream, Jelly-Filled Donuts and World Oceans Day (for sustainable seafood).
By the way, I took a look at that FoodTV show I had taped about the company in Texas, who makes one-of-a-kind grills. Baby carriage grill, bank safe grill, airplane grill, tractor trailer grill, and a host of others. They can make a custom grill from $300.00 on up to $50,000.00! One man owns a tractor trailer named CUZ, which cost him $75,000.00! He drives his grill to major sporting events. Cuz is huge and when fired up, can cook an unbelievable amount of food at one time.
Last week BBQ was the subject on the popular show, “Unwrapped”. Within this episode, they covered so many topics having to do with BBQ. Rubs, sauces, propane, gas, wood chips, charcoal. Did you know, that in 1920 charcoal was invented by Henry Ford, with the help of Thomas Edison? All types of tree mulch are used to make a (burnt) char, which is then combined with coal to make charcoal? Any moisture is removed before the briquettes are pressed down.
There is a grill in Chicago named Webber Grill Restaurant, named for the Webber Grill Company, started in the 1950s. They cook using multiple, custom-sized domed grills, with covers. They burn 800 pounds of charcoal each day, and they will cook most anything they serve on their menu. Even fruit and pie! I hope they bring their food chain to my neck of the woods.
I was in the grocery store last night and saw a bottle of Stubb’s BBQ Sauce. Marc Summers (Unwrapped’s host) mentioned Stubb‘s Rubs, started in the 1950’s. I thought that was coincidental. Some of the featured grill cooks interviewed mentioned that the rubs be applied on poultry, all meats, fish, and even vegetables, in order to kick up the flavor. Did you know three out of four families in the USA own a grill? There is BBQ Sauce of The Month Club , too. Be sure to check them out online. they have over 100 bottles of varied sauces, and you can join their sauce-of-the-month club. Try out a different flavor every month. It’s the beginning of summer and time to grill baby grill.
