What's cooking for Memorial weekend?

cal 2Member

Ya know the sayin' that sometimes you get lucky? Well last weekend I had planned to do a practice rib/chicken cook on Sat., but seen where they were having problems getting judges at the local Sam's event...so after a little nudging,Sonja and I decided to help the fine cooks out.

Long story short, see what I happened to find at the Sam's store after judging was over! Prime briskets for 2.38/lb.

I found 5, bought 4 and am gonna cook 3 for the memorial weekend, along with 2 PB's.

Anyone else cooking this weekend?

One of my friends has a cookout every year on Memorial day. He makes his "Famous Ribs" that "everyone loves". I know he smokes them a bit, then they find their way to the oven, then on the grill.... I asked him if he'd like me to bring over some pulled pork & smoked beans.

I'm gonna be having me some pulled pork sammiches!

planning on grinding some chuck for burgers, cold smoking with hickory or mesquite before throwing them on the grill.

I'm cooking a mess of SL spares for dinner with some friends. I went to Super Target this morning and to my surprise, they had their Hormel SL Spares on sale for $1.99 a pound. Let me tell you that I bought way more than I need for this weekend but they will not go to waste!

BTW, Cal, you lucky dog!!!

Max,I assume this is for the restaurant as a holiday special?

Not many folks cook them just for practice and serving pulled pork to a bunch of already inebriated revelers.

Are you breaking it down into special offerings,etc.

Altho we have pure Berkshire producers in FL,it is usually 3/4 Duroc.

Interested to see how you feel about the "mouthfeel",aroma,and taste compared to market hogs.
