There's hardly any corn in your cornbread!

I like Ab's recipe when I make it:
Alton brown corn bread

preheat 10" cast iron pan in oven at 425F

combine in bowl:
2 eggs
1C buttermilk
1C creamed corn

Combine in separate bowl
2 C coarse cornmeal
1t salt
1T sugar
2t baking powder
˝t baking soda

Add liquid to powder, adding extra buttermilk if mixture too dry and loosely whisk


Add 2T oil to hot CI pan, pour in mixture, bake 20min until springy.

AB is something, but I have never seen corn kernels in cornbread except in his recipe. I've just not seen it done anywhere or by any family members or anyone else in my circles. I have no idea where he got that idea, honestly. Also, I'm not 100%, but I bet you could replace the baking powder, baking soda, and cornmeal with hot rise cornmeal and save a step.

Savory cornbread is where it's at for basically everything. Occasionally, sweet corn cakes for BBQ. If you want a sweet corn dish, then corn casserole (or pudding, jeez mom make up your mind on what its called) is where it's at.

What a game that was crazy. Never in my life have I ever seen a team score 51 points and lose.

It was insane. My buddy is Rams Superfan #1 & a season ticket holder and snapped up the tickets when the game got moved here from Mexico City - I expected a fun game, but have never seen a sporting event like that after watching NFL and NCAA football for 35+ years.

Rams fans are super friendly to opposing fans, it's more like a college environment down there tailgating etc - there was a good-natured KC guy in front of us and my friend and I bought him and his wife a round of beers at the same time that the Rams fans sitting next to him independently got them a round as well... Got him too drunk and he had to leave, so he missed the end.

Hopefully the Super Bowl is a rematch.

My last gf was really southern and the savory type cornbread her family made they called it dressing. It was SC also and that's the mustard bbq and the best kind. Don't like the sweet stuff all that much myself. The best bbq places had like 4 squirt bottles of whatever bbq sauce you want anyway. That and a roll of paper towels on the table.

I am TN through and through but man I like Kansas City style sauce, Memphis style, Carolina mustard / vinegar and even “shudder” Alabama white. I’ll take it all!

If y’all ever in Nashville you gotta try Martins bbq. He serves up different sauces if you ask including a white. Everything is fantastic.

And Chili for me too: I make it with beans I make without. Just give me Dat chili any way you like it (though chicken chili doesn’t seem to be for me, or at least I haven’t had a memorable one)

I went to the one in downtown nashville and it was pretty good.
Nashville was all about the hot chicken for me though.

We had a really good but bougie and expensive BBQ place here for a while and despite my travels, it still had the best brisket I've ever tasted. The lost their lease after 1 year because the property owner wanted to open their own bougie, not BBQ, restaurant.
We had a big BBQ drought, but we just had a combination brewery and BBQ place and their beer and brisket is amazing. Their pulled pork is pretty OK to.

Definitely try it, I had him cater my wedding (this was before he had his BBQ empire). You will probably have to ask for other sauces but if you do they will know you are there for the food and not to just be in a hot spot. On a weekend night skip the line of 100+ and just go sit at the rooftop bar and order (yes this is allowed but nobody knows)

Just do it yourself, it's not hard to make good BBQ just very tedious. I've made some pretty drat good BBQ with a Weber kettle.

:cheers: you know what's up.

All I've got to make smoked meats is an oven right now, so I end up going real low and slow, for a few hours with a spicy-ish rub I make, then cranking it to just hit caramelization temp for a while with a different rub that is mostly brown sugar and garlic

Basting with a combo of bourbon and (ick) liquid smoke every fifteen, it ends up being on the good part of the scale but definitely not great. My family raves about it but that's because they don't know any better.

I haven't found a place near me that hits the price/taste/portion trifecta yet and I sometimes go full on "drinking about it" level of sad.

I have the number memorized and everything, and I'll gave to hunt down everything that uses it for recurring charges.

Your bank can probably tell you about any recurring charges. Mine sent a list with my new card when they thought it was compromised (Wells Fargo and Rockauto don't seem to get along for me, every time I try to make an order, charge goes through, Rockauto says nope, then a few days later a new card shows up in the mail).

Welcome to downtown hotels in every major city. Even the loving LA QUINTA in downtown Austin charges $20 a night (and it's valet-only, so add a tip on top of that... unless you drive stick according to a friend who stayed there, the valet working didn't know how to drive manual). They're also doing construction on their garage right now, so they have roughly 2/3 of a space per room (per the night clerk that I usually BS with when I deliver there). No big deal most of the time, but when there's a big event (like ACL last month)... you're parking a long way away.

You have no idea how badly I want the PC version. The headset cost is what's so offputting; I have a PC that can run it, so that's no big deal.

GF has a PS4, but I don't, so the overall cost to get a VR headset would be about the same for me (vs buying a PS4 + the PSVR set). Hell probably less.

Related side-note: What everyone calls pot pie is 100% not what I grew up with as pot pie. Pennsylvania Dutch pot pie isn't meat and vegetables in a crust, it's meat and noodles in a gravy. There appear to be warring factions in this subgroup as well, with some using eggs in the noodles and some not. My family was the latter. This looks close to my grandmother's recipe's final results; she always used ham instead of chicken. On cold winter days, it's the food I miss most from growing up, I think.

Sorry bro, that's not a pot pie :P Fight me :)

Its a pot pie because the pie crust makes its own pot around the fillings. Can be beef, pork or chicken (hell, even saw a clam chowder one once...wasn't ballsy enough to try it though). But the crust has to envelope the fillings so it all cooks in its own juicy awesomeness.
