My second blogger recipe contest entry using Budweiser's new line of barbecue sauces and marinades. features flank steak as the star of the show. I'm not sure that I've written a simpler recipe than this one and that's because the Budweiser Brewmaster's Premium Sizzlin' Steak House Marinade Bag did most of the work! Some of the...

I got a free sample of the entire line and as part of my taste test, I crafted a recipe to enter into Budweiser's Blogger Recipe Challenge! I wanted my entry for the burger category to feature...

Good barbecue in the Northeastern U.S. is hard to find. It's like to trying to find a real New York style bagel anywhere outside of New York. That's why I'm always excited when I hear about new openings in or around Rhode Island and Massachusetts. In this case, Durk's Bar-B-Q opened up on Thayer Street... Continue Reading →
[UPDATE March 2017: The location is now called Pink Pig BBQ after the partners split up the business. For all intents and purposes it is a different business featuring many of the same food items with some of the same recipes, however, under different management and quality control. The owner of the Preppy Pig BBQ name... Continue Reading →
Co-Owner and manager, Yi Peng, explained to me how he and Steve Liu started the WOW Barbecue food truck some time in 2013 that featured Chinese street food (BBQ skewers) as its staple cuisine. The truck's popularity and success allowed them to expand and open two restaurants - one in Malden, MA and one in Brookline, MA.... Continue Reading →
