Smoked Chicken Wings are THE BEST

smoked wings

Yesterday I posted an Instagram pic of a mound of dry rubbed wings, before they headed into the smoker. The almost finished result is above. Years ago, I worked in a restaurant that was known for its great chicken wings. The secret was that they were dry rubbed and then roasts at 275 degrees for [...]

Burgers stuffed with Jack and Bacon

There are those who will tell you that a great burger starts with a great bun. Personally, I believe a great burger starts with great beef, lots of cheese and fresh toppings, all crammed into a great bun. So, I guess my take is that a great burger is only complete with a great bun! [...]

Another BBQ bites the dust

The economy of buying cheap barbecues is beginning to drive me crazy. Spend $300 or so, to buy a shiny new BBQ that has rusted beyond belief in just three years. Of course the alternative is to pay over a grand to buy a beastly machine that will last years longer. Our last BBQ purchase [...]

Grilled Corn, Bacon & Vidalia relish

When a condiment is this awesome, who needs a burger? Like most people, I love a good burger. Perhaps even more than most people. Even still, the same old burger toppings get stale after a while. While “mustard, a bit of relish, onions and pickles” is my classic standby, I just have to change things [...]

A week long camping trip with 3 children involves some pre-planning around food.  Our kids like to help with the menu and the cooking and typically like to cook the same things every time we go. This year for our trip to Silent Lake Provincial Park, I decided to do some internet surfing before we [...]

Have you ever used your side burner?

The first time we bought a BBQ that had a side burner, I thought it was a pretty cool feature. Then, I think I used it only once or twice during the life of the Q. I would be willing to bet that most of our readers have never used theirs either. Of course One [...]

Buster Rhino’s on Dragon’s Den

We’ve been pretty wrapped up in food media over the past couple of weeks here in the FAB Whitby kitchen and haven’t been keeping up with what’s happening around town. We’re not the only ones with some media excitement lately. Our friends at Buster Rhino’s took on the Dragon’s Den team earlier this year. Not [...]

BBQ Grail goes Red Hot

I truly think I might truly explode with envy! Not only did Larry Gaian conjure up the MOINK Ball, but he has now taken them to a whole new level. I’ll summarize here: Take a pre-made, store bought meatball, wrap it in bacon. BBQ. Glaze with melted Red Hot candies! Now I understand how freaky [...]
