I didn’t do any grilling this weekend, which is good. Cause I don’t know who in the heck I would’ve voted for!
Some great looking entries!

Did I miss where we cast our vote?

Yep it's over. Still post up a few pics later maybe 😃

Spare and Babyback ribs on the smoker, Squash fritters on the Blackstone, beans,slaw, cresent rolls and for dessert strawberries from Sugar Hill farms and the first Blueberries off my bushes. And Beer! Merica!!!

I’ll start a thread for voting

This thread has been the best thing I've seen on aldeer lately. We have some damn talented cooks in this bunch and many more that didn't participate. I love seeing some participation in the buffet forum. Everybody likes to eat good food! No arguing, no political nonsense, no bud light, straight cookin'! Thank yall. Let's keep this up and maybe it can transition into actual taste-tests
and some good aldeer get-together cook-offs!

Don't forget to include my only vote so far 😂

I concur. Best thing I’ve seen in a while too. Everyone loves good food. Coincidentally, the art behind making good food just adds to the whole experience. Some very talented folks on here

Damn, I didn't know there was a 1700 cut off. Oh well. Here's my ribs though.

It don't matter if I win, cause I have won already. An awesome dinner with some of our best friends. Thanks Bettina for the baked beans, Deviled eggs and Blood Orange brownies. Thanks Joyce for the amazing slaw. Thanks Mrs. Irish for the wonderful potato salad. I had a good time making the brisket and the ice cream, and the conversations about the Ghost Cavalry of the Civil War was some great outside deck conversation.

The Brisket...




The Plate...




The dessert...

Had wayyyyy too much going on the past week to cook like i normally would. But i didn't starve today lol

Grilled some Jamaican jerk chicken thighs (ate on a bed of Caribbean rice) with some jalapeño, pineapple, and cheese sausage with some smoked Boudin. Desert was an apple, cherry, and pineapple cobbler....

We did some steaks, potatoes, vegetables, and turnip greens. on the fire pit. Ate pretty good.

Didn’t realize I missed the deadline but I grilled deer backstrap, had leftover baked beans with ground elk, pasta salad and twiced baked potato.

I'd like to thank bclc and whild bill for putting this on. I'd also like to thank everyone of the guys who contributed entries. I have very much enjoyed this thread. There were to many things I liked to list individually, so even if you didn't get a shout-out, don't think anything about that. It was much appreciated.
I used to grill a lot. Had alot of good times. Since I have quit drinking and eating red meat, I haven't gotten to grill much in the last few years. So this reminded me of times past and enjoy something I used to love. So thanks once again.

Glad we could pull this off and glad it went over so well. I’d also like to thank BCLC for managing the whole thing he did great and I’d like to thank all that participated. I’d like to do this again and welcome any thoughts or ideas. We have some very talented cookers in here!!

Great thread idea WB & BCLC! Need to do this more often. Some fine chefs on Aldeer and will take some ideas for future cooks from this thread.

Enjoyed it. I know many of us love to grill and smoke great food and this was a great way to share in fellowship. I'm going to be building an outdoor kitchen in June when I redo the deck at my house. Don't know when I'll have time, but Momma Cat says I've waited long enough. Trying to plan out several cooking stations to cover all the cooking I normally do plus things I want to add. Smoker and charcoal grill obviously, but gonna add a gas grill where I can also have a full griddle...may just do a Blackstone instead. Don't know yet. I've had gas grills in the past, really quick and easy to grill up things when I don't want to use charcoal and wait. But I haven't had one in probably 10 years.

Sunflower! Y’all remind me never to challenge one of you to a cookoff. Wow, great contest!

I love to cook, but I’m telling you, I’ve seen some good looking food on this thread!
Lot of good cooks here fore sure!

Just read through this thread. Wow. Just amazing!! I want to come eat at all yalls house! I like Dkhargroves for the best dish. Crenshawco for best backyard!
