I’ve always found recipe books a bit boring. The authors of these “other” books unemotionally write down the ingredients and instructions. I always wanted something with more BITE. Therefore, based on my Public Access Cooking Show “Grilldog Presents” I’ve developed this Guidebook. Although there are over 150 recipes it’s not a traditional cookbook, it’s a Guide to Food, Fun and Friends. Complete with stories and antidotes of life from Grilldog’s perspective. T… More >>
Grilldog’s Guide To Food, Fun And Friends

I remember those warm summer nights when my parents would throw amazing barbecue bashes for all of their friends. Everything was planned out perfectly and everyone left happier and heavier. Well now I’m old enough to throw my own parties and I’ve decided to follow in my parents’ steps. There are many components to the perfect barbecue, but the three most important are a blazing hot grill, some comfortable cheap patio furniture (who wants to pay full price in this economy?) and loads of mouth-watering food.
Blazing Hot Grill
The perfect BBQ will add a unique liveliness to any party. It really doesn’t matter if it’s gas, charcoal or electric as long as its hot and functional. Place it near the left of your eating and seating arrangement. The combination of heat and delicious smells will excite your guests and put them in a more gregarious mood.
The type of furniture you have can really make or break your party. You want the furniture to facilitate conversation and also be incredibly comfortable for your guests. Set up your sofas, chairs and table in a semi-circle fashion facing the entrance to your patio. That way arriving guests will be greeted by faces rather than the back of heads. It will create a much more inviting atmosphere.
Mouth-Watering Food
Along with great conversation, mouth-watering food is the most integral part of the perfect BBQ party. When choosing the food, try your best to go outside of the box. Search high and low for interesting recipes. Salt-crusted shrimp with lemon-garlic dipping sauce will make much more of an impression on your guests than a plain old cheeseburger.

Every region of the United States has its barbecue specialty: pulled pork sandwiches in North Carolina, racks of ribs in Memphis, “burnt ends” in Kansas City and chopped brisket in Texas. The roots of American barbecue run deep in the South, where even neighboring counties can have different approaches to barbecue, not to mention different states.
BBQ in North Carolina
Consider North Carolina, a state with a long barbecue tradition ..
In eastern North Carolina, you would probably find shredded meat from an entire pig, doused with a peppery vinegar sauce, and if you chose to drive West a few hours from the coast, and you will most likely be served meat from just the shoulder of the hog, with a tomato based sauce.
Throughout Carolina, there is a clear preference for barbecue pork and thin vinegary sauces, which is a distinguishing style echoed throughout the state.
BBQ in Memphis, Tennessee
Memphis, Tennessee is another superb barbecue location, home to “Memphis in May,” which is the largest barbecue competition and festival in the world. The city boasts over 100 barbecue restaurants and several different barbecue styles.
Like North Carolina and much of the South, pork is the barbecue meat of choice in Tennessee and pork ribs are the most common cut, but the city is divided between “dry-rubbed” and “wet rib” versions. Dry-rubbed ribs are generously rubbed with a mixture of spices, smoked and then served with sauce on the side. Wet ribs are lacquered with tangybarbecue sauce before, during and after cooking.
Another Memphis favorite is the pulled-pork sandwich – smoked pork shoulder stuffed inside a hamburger bun and topped with coleslaw.
BBQ in Kansas City
Kansas City is the barbecue capital of the Midwest. Like Memphis, it’s also home to over 100 barbecue restaurants and hosts an annual barbecue competition an an event called American Royal.
In Kansas City, both pork and beef are barbecued and it is best known for its BBQ sauce, which is traditionally heavy on tomato and uses molasses as a distinctive sweetener. The traditional thickbarbecue sauce you buy in supermarkets is based on Kansas City style sauce.
The bottled varieties are much different from the small batches of sweet zesty sauce cooked up by Kansas City pitmasters.
For those that aren’t familiar with the term, “Burnt ends,” are the crunchy, charred ends of brisket slabs, are a Kansas City specialty not to be missed.
BBQ in Texas
Texas is famous for its cattle, and beef brisket is the barbecue meat of choice. But chopped beef and beef ribs are also state favorites.
Texas barbecue isn’t only about the beef, it is also about spicy pork sausages, called “hot links,” and pork ribs are also common barbecue fare.
Almost all Texas barbecue is cooked without sauce. The meat is rubbed with spices, known as BBQ rub, smoked and, sometimes, a sauce is served on the side.
Barbecue in other states is most often smoked over hickory, oak or a handful of other similar hardwoods. But Texas barbecue usually uses mesquite, which gives the meat a distinct and unique flavor.
