With Memorial Day a couple weeks past, BBQ season is in full swing. We just got a grill for the patio and have been experimenting with it some, hopefully I’ll have some things to post soon about my own adventures.

But this post is about a fixture at a local monthly BBQ. A few of my buddies take turns hosting about 30 people and it’s always a great time, tons to eat and drink, and plenty of time for just a good time. And one of the things we always look forward to are seeing our favorite BBQ guy. Jason hauls his smoker/grill all the way down from New Hampshire and spends from dawn til’ dusk BBQing in the backyard.

Some of the various things he’s done include ribs, steak tips, pulled pork, chili, beans, and wings, all prepared generally the day of the BBQ. If we’re lucky, he vacuum-packs some ribs, puts them on ice and sells them to anyone that might be looking for a BBQ fix later on. And he always sells out!

But what’s great is how passionate he is about grilling and BBQ, even traveling to compete against other avid grillers.

Thanks Meat Guy!

Weekend Hot Pot!

A couple weeks ago, while it was still cold in Boston (It’s been 70 degrees for the past 10 days), we all got together for a traditional family-style hot-pot. I’d only had hot pot one other time previous to this occasion so I was a little unfamiliar, but it doesn’t take a long time to catch onto how it works. A bunch of people put a pot of soup on some sort of burner, drop raw food into the boiling broth to cook, and then remove the food and eat it :)

Anyway, there were three different broths : Tom Yum, Miso, and Chicken. As main ingredients, we had the following (not enough meat for me though!) : Squid, Fish balls, Beef, Lamb, Chicken, Watercress, 2 different mushrooms, Clams, 2 types of tofu, taro, tomato, broccoli, chives, cabbage, turnip, and some udon noodles. As you could probably tell, it was a LOT to eat.

Here are the pictures!
