No locations in Racine yet but who knows, that may change. My wife & I go to their store in Naperville, IL.Perplexiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09971805688658949769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2966431973683550525.post-66983461884918684262011-08-04T17:08:50.235-05:002011-08-04T17:08:50.235-05:00There is no difference in the taste, HLiza.

That way, I can reduce the risk of salmonella from eating raw meat.<br /><br />I just LOVE Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce, Tender Heart. Given the recipe you described, it might just kick it up a notch...<br /><br />The seasonings sound delicious, Perplexo! I'm gonna have to try them!drewzepmeisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15553144737305430009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2966431973683550525.post-55203630004389066882011-08-04T11:17:16.395-05:002011-08-04T11:17:16.395-05:00When I cook meat on the grill I tend to "shar...When I cook meat on the grill I tend to "share" my beer with the meat (to help keep it moist). <br /><br />I also enjoy cooking corn on the cob on the grill. We normally husk it, lay out a sheet of foil, butter the corn, season it with one of our special seasoning blends (from www.penzeys.com, I believe they're a Wisconsin based company actually. I normally use either the Northwoods seasoning or the Arizona Dreamin' blend) or an Adirondack spice blend we brought back from our vacation last year (Bear Rub). Then we wrap the foil around the corn and cook it on the grill on medium heat for about 30 minutes, rotating about every 10 minutes.<br /><br />For chicken I normally do a dry rub of one of those same seasoning blends from Penzey's and then let it marinate in barbecue sauce or an oil based salad dressing (usually Italian but sometime Caesars or Balsalmic vinagrette).<br /><br />Another favorite-- Portabello mushrooms. I normally slice the whole mushroom heads into burger size and marinate overnight in balsalmic vinegar. Then I either gently brush olive oil on them or spray down the grill so they don't stick and cook them like burgers (although for much less time, about 2-3 minutes each side) on low-medium heat. We sometimes add cheese (I prefer swiss, my wife prefers provolonse or mozarella slices). The bits I cut off the mushroom caps to get them down to burger size we set aside for our salad or store for a stir fry on another evening.Perplexiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09971805688658949769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2966431973683550525.post-39898766579272751892011-08-04T09:59:49.358-05:002011-08-04T09:59:49.358-05:00My favorite is my BBQ ribs.

Then take them out put it on the grill and put my own type of BBQ sauce on them. <br /><br />BBQ sauce- <br /><br />Some BBQ sauce any kind you have. <br />Sugar<br />Vanilla extract<br />mix it until it is sweet. <br /><br />My mom loves this sauce. I had to make it this way for my ex husband. He couldn't have spicey food. I don't know how much I put in to the sauce. I always just added what I thought.Tender Heart Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13066055559647242770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2966431973683550525.post-16309375361961403592011-08-03T22:44:32.261-05:002011-08-03T22:44:32.261-05:00We do use honey and the Heinz sauce but I've n...We do use honey and the Heinz sauce but I've never boiled the chicken first. What difference does it make to the taste if you do that? Just last weekend we were thinking of doing a BBQ party one day for the extended family during the holiday.HLizahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04501423875033391870noreply@blogger.com
