Competitive/American style bbq

Put this in your smoker: Jalapeno peppers, stuffed with chicken and wrapped in bacon. Report back your findings.

I do them stuffed with cream cheese and wrapped in bacon!

Yesterday I heard four years ago only one state in the US had a population with an average percentage of body fat over 30 percent. This year there are at least four states that have an average over 30 percent. Friday I noticed most of the women who showed up at a local bar in their early twenties were morbidly obese and today I saw the fattest women I've ever seen in a motorized wheel chair holding up traffic while a guy on the sidewalk was berating commuters for not stopping for her.

Look at the suggestions you are getting--meat wrapped in bacon and stuffed with cream cheese! If I were you I'd skip this culinary delight. When it comes to American BBQ what you don't know can't hurt you. Remain ignorant and stay healthy...

I do something similar for Wing Night. Jalapenos stuffed with cheddar cheese, wrapped in bacon, dipped in beer batter and deep fried.

Fat is good, that's where the taste comes. But the important thing is to use fresh ingredients. All kinds of processed foods are a lot more dangerous. Good bacon doesn't have anything on high fructose corn syrup when it comes to making people fat and stupid.

If there really is something that would unify Europe then it's definitely the love for pork. This is the pork continent, it's loved in the north and south, in the east and west, life without hams and sausages wouldn't go on.

But the English who eat much less pork than continentals have much bigger obesity problems. French haute cuisine is notorious for being really heavy and rich, gobs of butter and cream being used - just because it tastes awesome, in country cooking chicken is made with tons of bacon, potatoes fried in duck or goose fat, in Lyon - the food city, it's not unusual to have pig intestines and brains for lunch at the bistro etc. No matter what it is everything is always made with great fresh products. The nation where vegetarianism is considered a mental disease has the least obesity problems in the continent.

The best food city in Italy is Bologna, its food has little in common with healthy mediterranean diet, the Bolognese do things the exact opposite as the rest of the country. Their food is heavy and pork oriented yet they have some of the fittest folks I've seen in the country.

Around here the kids who eat roasted pork every week at home are usually a lot more fit than than those who don't have a dining tradition at home but eat potato chips and all kinds of fast foods instead.

If you use fresh products and do not feast every single day then you'll be ok. Processed junk food is the poison.

Damn straight! The best food in the world is my Italian bologna....all ya can eat buffet!

BTW, anyone THAT worried about eating healthy will prolly die of a fuggin' stroke...these are facts!

I'm 5'10 170 lbs I eat whatever I want in moderation. You can't intake calories and fat without burning it...hence why you see me running 3 miles every other day This is a BBQ thread not a fat America thread lol

I'm a huge fan of BBQ, and yeah- the different options as far as how you prepare it can be daunting at first. I'm a fan of tomato based sauce and generally make my own. Smoking is time consuming, so plan on making a day out of it! I agree with the start small and work your way up comment, like many things ~ if you try to rush it, you'll screw it up!!!!

AND, yep moderate exercise and portion control wil keep you from being obeese....

I have today off work. This afternoon I'm going to try my first ever "low and slow" St. Louis style ribs on my BBQ. It's a propane grill but I can do indirect heat and I have a smoker and some nice apple wood ready to rock. It's supposed to be a relatively crappy day outside, but I plan on consuming beer and listening to some loud tunes regardless!

[Shawn Lutz]

its going to be 104 here today, I'm just gonna throw some ribs out on the patio slab and let em cook low and slow from noon to 7pm. Just have to keep the dogs from thinking its for them LOL

[Jack Napalm]

Party at Shawns at 7:00!

Its hot here today. I am grilling kabobs this weekend.

God damn... I just gained 10 lbs reading this thread.

I now have a taste for some ribs.
@ DonP- is Burbanks still in Cinti? I ate there years ago, and the sauces were to die for. I think I'd make the 3 hour trip just to get the pulled pork and sweet honey BBQ.

Famous Daves is alright, the one here closed for mysterious reasons.

The best ribs I ever had my mother-in-law cooked. Baby backs slow roasted in the oven with lots of sauce to seep in, then dropped on the grill to slightly sear. Kings Hawaiian rolls, fresh sweet corn, and a baked potato topped it off nicely.
.....and now I'm starving so bad my stomach has ate a hole in my back.... RIBS TONIGHT!!

You better start thinking about exercising before the obese police come after you.

I ended up doing just that last weekend. No potato though and a different roll. But the corn was cooked on the grill. It all tasted real good!
