More Sauce ReviewsThe Salt Lick Original Recipe Bar-B-Que Sauce has an incredible balance of flavors between mustard, vinegar, sugar, and a little spice out of the jar--the best mustard sauce I've tried so far. Just beware that all that greatness can get lost when used as a baste over the high heat of the grill.

An Ode to City Market
I decided early on that I wouldn't do restaurant reviews on this blog, keeping the focus on cooking, where my true heart lies. Still, there's some barbecue experiences that are just worth sharing, like my recent trip to City Market in Luling, Texas. So think of this as more of an ode to one of the truly great meat markets that dot the Lone Star state.

Grilled Leeks with Romesco Sauce
Over at Serious Eats, I've been on the sauce trail for nearly a year now. This has me concocted sauces nearly as much as I've been grilling, which now dictates a life constantly on the search for new condiments to try out at home, and pair with grilling as often as possible. Romesco—a roasted red pepper and almond spread originating in the Catalonia area of Spain—is one stellar example of this. As soon as I tried it for the first time at local favorite Il Bambino, I was quickly in the kitchen making my own, then enjoying it with excellent grilled leeks.

Happy Meatday to Me!
I'm not one to shy away from my birthday. Each year I plan myself a large blowout party, make an odd invitation, then mail them out to everyone I've ever been friends with. This has been the tradition for over 12 years, but this year I found myself about ready to take off for the holidays without a card produced—thanks mainly to my focused efforts on the barbecue team front—then came back from Texas pretty sick and in no mood to party. So I thought this was the year the parties of Josh would come to a close, but then I found myself with a nearly 16 pound brisket that changed it all.

More Sauce ReviewsSpicewine Ironworks Blue Collar B-B-Q Sauce hits heavy with the tomato, which may be a tad too dominante out of the jar, but finds a nice balance with some added sweetness after being grilled.
