When I left my hotel I was heading for a Thai restaurant that turned out to be closed so instead tonight's #Aristogrub was the half "Heisenberg" sandwich, which has ham, jalapeno, red onion, avocado, lettuce and garlic mayo. Oh yeah, and I also had some stuffed Medjool dates which were stuffed with goat cheese, pecans, bacon and served over a balsamic honey reduction.
Have you ever had one of those meals where the small plates on the menu board turned out to be huge plates? Yeah, me too. #Aristogrub in Portland OR.

Why did I wait so long to try #LoxAndBagels? I think it was just about two years ago when I finally ordered them and I've been kicking myself for not trying them 50 years earlier. #Aristogrub

Tonight's #Aristogrub was "The Spicy Goat" at Hops Burger Bar in Greensboro. It had a sweet & spicy pepper jelly, goat cheese, Bacon and lettuce. To really mix things up I had it on a house made veggie burger patty they call the "Nutty Burger". I've had fewer than a half a dozen veggie burgers in my life but I have to say it was far and away the best I've ever eaten. #TheSpicyGoat #HopsBurgerBar #VeggieBurger #Bacon

Smoking our first batch of Saint Louis Style Spare Ribs on the Camp Chef SmokePro
In the last month we’ve cooked lots of chicken on the SmokePro DLX Pellet Grill & Smoker, but because of my schedule we haven’t had time for any long-smoke meals until today. We smoked three Saint Louis Style slabs of spare ribs using our own version of the venerable 3-2-1 method, meaning they spent three hours exposed to smoke at 225 degrees, followed by two hours wrapped in foil as 225 degrees, followed by 1 hour back out of the foil to finish and to set the glaze.
Now, because my dad didn’t raise a fool, after the first three hours on the smoker and once we wrapped them in foil there was no reason to continue burning expensive pellets, so we moved the the ribs to a 225 degree oven for the two hour portion of the cook. Some think this is eating but since those people were’t invited to the cook-out we ignored them.
One plan that I had that went awry was I was going to take those two hours to smoke the extra chicken thighs and wings that we marinated last night, but I got called away so they got cooked later that evening.
All that’s left to explain is how we prepped the ribs:
We removed the membrane from the back of the ribs and slathered them with a thin film of yellow mustard. I’ll never get used to this but it really works to hold on the the spices and rub and you don’t taste it after they are done. Next we added some garlic salt and fresh ground black pepper followed by a generous layer of "Killer Hogs” classic “BBQ Rub” found here https://h2qshop.com I purchased one shaker of this stuff and we’ve put it on everything! My next order will be for a 5lbs bag that we’ll separate into Mason jars.
After the 3 hours on the smoker we wrapped them in foil and added Parkay squeeze margarine and brown sugar. We were going to add some honey but forgot.
After the two hour sauna in the foil we transferred the ribs back to the smoker and made a glaze by adding the drippings from the foil wraps with about 1/2C of Sweet Baby Ray’s Honey Barbecue Sauce. We basted the ribs twice with this mixture and after a total of one hour back on the smoker at 225 degrees we were rewarded with some of the best ribs I’ve ever had.
What would I do differently next time? I think I need to look into a rib rack that will allow us to hold a few more racks. Not only to increase the capacity, but to keep the ribs from hanging over the edge and getting too hot on the edges.
20 more minutes and these will be in my face hole! #Aristogrub
Following Malcom Reed's version of the 3-2-1 method and man, were these good! Check out his Youtube channel at: https://www.youtube.com/user/howtobbqright Another Aristogrub Pic via Instagram http://bit.ly/2cInI1X
