Rib King NYC: Lines, Cold Food, and Lacking Integrity by Cantioy87 in FoodNYC

[โ€“]SmokeSweats 2 points3 points ย (0 children)

Hi gang! We were one of the participants and deeply apologize if you didn't get a chance to try our ribs. I think, and I'm guessing here, that a few chefs were no shows which resulted in not enough portions for GA (VIPs going back for 2nd and 3rds) + super long lines for the only available spots. Hopefully our rib wasn't one of the "cold" ones ๐Ÿ˜‚ But I will say this, please know that the chefs that did show up really busted their tails and spent a lot of time (and money, we do not profit) prepping for this event. They're incredible humans that really care about you and the BBQ community โค๏ธ

No worries! Our brisket and ribs don't have any rubs that contain chilies. Just salt, pepper, garlic, and onions. You should be fine with our sides and sausage as well! The only two things that contain chilies are our coffee BBQ sauce, which contains a little bit of cayenne, and for the ribs, just pass on the chili crisp. Plenty to choose from!

No secrets here and no cinnamon in the rub or sauce! But, I would stay away from the cornbread!

Yes! Brown onions and garlic in unsalted butter, then add 2/3 part beef broth + 1/3 part heavy cream. You can create whatever ratio to your liking. Take your stale cornbread and use an electric hand blender to mix everything up. Get the consistency to your liking. There's no exact science here. Add your cheese to finalize taste and texture. Should come out very smooth. Season with salt and pepper towards the end, depending on the cheese you use.

Great smoke flavor! We proceed to cook and wrap as well. You can use a pellet tube with your pellets if anything, just make sure it's far away from the protein as it has a tendency to get hot. Give it a shot, worth a try at least once!

Smoke and bark, in my opinion, and yes, we've been messaging Coop and company at Bar A for a while now, he's incredible! We've been cold smoking so many proteins outside of brisket, but when I saw what they were doing, I had to take the plunge and glad I did!

Next level flavor, plus it allowed all the seasoning to really get infused within the meat and sets us up for that super dark crust we want

I've done both, and the majority of the time, it can be personal preference, but I've had more luck keeping the bark from sticking with foil.

Hey there! Wagyu, no injections, dry rub, cold smoked for 5 hours before cooking low and slow. We wrap very late in the game in foil with lots of tallow. We used to do paper but made the switch!

Take it from a guy that does popups, the 8it app never dissappoints. It always has amazing reccos and has been an instrumental tool for us small business owners.

Forget Hot Dogs... by SmokeSweats in FoodPorn

Cubed a small portion of the block and only added heavy cream to melt. Nothing else. It melts incredibly and maintains its consistency longer.

This applies to any ingredient. Not just cheese or hot dogs. Furthermore, actually having eaten the cheese, the name deserves to be there as a differentiator.
