I’ve heard one of the cooking show guys use the term “Pork-a-palooza.” @NVGator is the man with the ribs. That’s impressive on a work night...unless he’s laying out tomorrow or something. Anyhow, as I’ve heard my father-in-law say over a similar meal “Lord, I ‘preciate that hog!”Cover 2 I gotta tell ya those bacon wrapped chops look delicious with a capital D. Very impressive and NV comes through with the ribs . It’s a pork sensation in here tonight . Bravo gentlemen!

Pork loin medallions wrapped in bacon, smoked sausage, charred banana peppers, oven roasted broccoli, and fresh cut new potato chips (sorry about the good China). My bunch could eat those fresh chips until they popped. This was a pretty quick meal and we’ve enjoyed working together cooking during the shut down. I did the grill, wife does the broccoli and fruit, daughter mandolin’s the potatoes and fries them. We’d gotten away from a family meal time while the kids were at school. It’s been good to get back into that routine. An unintended benefit of these viral times!
Did some smoking tonight. Small Boston butt, chicken breast for chicken salad, baked beans, and chocolate pie for dessert.

Gulf, that looks and sounds great. Butts are hard to beat and some chicken for salad later defines you as not only as a great chef, but a man of foresight as well.

Elk burgers with diced onions and blue cheese crumbles. Corn on the cob. Pretty simple.
NV those elk burgers look great! I’ve only had elk once and made burgers. Taste was fantastic. Only drawback were that they were a little dense. What do you do to keep them from being so packy?Elk burgers with diced onions and blue cheese crumbles. Corn on the cob. Pretty simple.

Without trying to insult you, your burgers might have been a little too done, if you know what I mean. Elk is extremely lean so not a lot of fat to cook off. There isn’t much blood so a lack of moisture. That’s where the chopped O comes in, to keep us moist. I like the blue cheese crumbles for the flavor. Chopped mushrooms are also good in them.NV those elk burgers look great! I’ve only had elk once and made burgers. Taste was fantastic. Only drawback were that they were a little dense.

No offense taken. As I’m recalling, I believe it was cooked to well. It came from a college buddy whose brother used to send it to him. I’ve always been a little leery of wild game that is not cooked through. The flavor of the meat was great. If I ever get the chance, I’ll try the onions.Without trying to insult you, your burgers might have been a little too done, if you know what I mean.

Ground Elk is also fantastic in a spaghetti sauce or a meat loaf.
