Roll on Big Momma

Roll on Big Momma...you are the mother of the road. I like the sound of wheels on the highway. Big heavy semi with chrome wheels and  a cab that looks like you can live in it.  With 2 kids a dog and a parakeet. Gleaming in the sunlight of a rising eastern sun.  It is more brilliant than a diamond in a billy goats butt.  Looks as good too. If you like goat butt that is?  As for myself, I prefer pork butt. Smoked and pulled with some good ol’ BBQ sauce.  The best I ever got was a preparation formulated and created a Butcher Shop right there in Queens New York. It is called a BBQ addition here because the taste and secret is in the rub. When it comes to pork butt, brisket and chicken, the rub is what does it. The sauce is an after thought.


Spices blended together in the right proportions is what it is all about. Not just any spices. Spices that are found far and wide. From the Islands of  the West Indies to the shores of Asia.  The science of smoking requires the best spices picked and dried at just the right time.  Putting them together to get a great smoked BBQ product is only half the fun.  The other half is eating it with family and friends. That’s why the sauce is just a kicker. It starts everything off and pulls the flavor of the BBQ that is deep within the surface of the meat. OK I am telling you more than you can digest at this moment.


I am quickly reminded that you don’t have to know if you don’t see it being to your culinary advantage. After all the BBQ guys do it for you. All you have to do is eat and enjoy.  How about a hard lemonade with that BBQ...So roll on Big Momma you got to get those pork butts and ribs to town.
