Well, it’s been 2 weeks since competing in our first kosher bbq competition of the season, and life is finally back to normal (and I’m pretty sure we got all of the bbq stink out of everything). Our team “5 Dudes and a Vegetarian” (Daniel Peikes, Elliott Fliegelman, Debbie Burg, Robert Feiger and me), competed … Continue reading “St. Louis Kosher BBQ Competition Re-cap By Rachel”
So what you may not know is Rachel and I have a kosher BBQ team known as 5 Dudes and a Vegetarian and until recently I was living in condo where I could not grill or smoke. On the first of the year I finally moved in to a house, and I bought myself a new grill and … Continue reading “A Very BBQ Purim”
This is a great all purpose sauce that takes advantage of that special something you get from the 23 secret flavors that are combined to make Dr. Pepper. If you don’t want to take the time to reduce Dr. Pepper to syrup you can use Soda Stream’s Dr. Peter Sparkling Drink Mix. I love this … Continue reading “Dr. Pepper BBQ Sauce”
Today being Yom Yerushalayim I am reminded of how much I love shawarma. While the local Chicago based Israeli restaurants scratch the itch for it, nothing beats the greasy storefront joints of Jerusalem. Brooklyn comes close, but there’s just something about being in the Holyland and loading a pita with spit roasted mystery meat and … Continue reading “Burger of the Week: Shawarma Burger”
And we’re back. It’s been a while, so hopefully some of you are still here. I am going to try something I’ve been toying around with for a while, a burger of the week. In the past I have played around with this idea on other platforms but it is time to take it to … Continue reading “Burger Of The Week: Hawaiian Slider”

Andy Groneman is a second generation pitmaster who won hundreds … Continue reading “Stuffing Waffles With Caramelized Onions and (Beef) Bacon”
Just a quick recipe for a New Years cocktail. I wanted to do something based on sparkling wine to keep with the festive nature of the holiday. A riff on a classic brunch cocktail, the mimosa, seemed appropriate. In order to make it my own, I decided to add strawberry puree, which conveniently made use … Continue reading “New Years Cocktail: Strawberry Orange Mimosa”
So I may be known for my smoked brisket but sometimes you need something a little more traditional. When it comes to Rosh Hashanah you want something like your Bubby used to make. My Bubby probably thinks a smoker is someone who buys Lucky Strikes, not a cooking apparatus. This recipe is super simple. If you … Continue reading “Slow Braised Brisket With Apples For Rosh Hashanah”
This February, I will be running in the Miami Half-Marathon as part of Team Lifeline to benefit children with cancer, disabilities, and other serious medical conditions. Every dollar I raise and every mile I run will benefit Chai Lifeline, an international children’s health support network that provides critical year-round programs and services to nearly 6,000 … Continue reading “Brisket For Chai”
I love donuts! Lately I have been trying to watch what what I eat, but I love donuts. And what is Hanukkah (or is it Chanukah) without sufganiyot, the delicious filled donut treats? Jews traditionally eat lots of foods fried in oil on Hanukkah, to commemorate the small flask of oil that was found in … Continue reading “Blueberry Lemon Beignets and a Hanukkah Giveaway”
