Discussion: I am a semi-experienced barbecue saavy teenager who loves grilling ribs and making the barbeque sauce from scratch. I get many complements for my ribs and the sauce but would like to have different variations of the sauce. Anyone have suggestions?
In the international culinary landscape, Australia has among the most diversed cultures in the world. The good thing is, Australia has kept its cultural diversity preserved, while people live together in harmony. This is especially true in Brisbane ? where you find some of the best restaurants in Australia.
In the cities, you can find several eat-in and take-away Asian food shops that offer a multitude of Indian and Chinese dishes. This has resulted from the high count of Asian immigration to Australia, and of course the long existence of the Chinese community in Australia.
Australian cuisine inherited its nature from British cooking. From pies, to grilled meat chops, slightly cooked veggies, and chips, Australian food has evolved progressively. It is now able to accommodate the dishes from the varied cultures in their land. Modern Australia is a term coined for it that includes the embrace of their multicultural culinary influences. Ever since the fusion of varied cultural dishes, the best restaurants in Australia have taken Mediterranean, and Asian cuisines to be part of their serving menu.
The most common food that you can order in fast food stores is the “Australian Hamburger”. This has become an iconic food item in Australia as this offers a wide variety of hamburger fillings anyone can choose from. Obviously, the persistence of fast food chains remains to be a legacy of Australia’s British traditions.Still popular choices among Aussies are the American food chains such as KFC, Pizza Hut, Subway, and McDonalds. Australian restaurants have also came up with their own versions of fast food eat shops like Chicken Treat, Eagle Boys pizza chain, and Red Rooster.
There are several good places to dine in Australia’s varied food shops. The best restaurants in Brisbane are often listed in restaurant guides and directories to help you decide where to have a hearty meal. Whether you want it simple and common Australian food, or a different flavor of another culture’s dish, the best restaurants in Australia are able to accommodate multicultural cravings. As Aussies enjoy a laid-back lifestyle, it is no doubt that they indulge in good culinary offers any time of the week.
Discussion: I made it last week and used 1/2 Open Pit, Original and 1/2 a dark honey BBQ Sauce, and it was just too too too sweet. I like sweet and all, but it was too sweet.
What are some other good ones? (Store-bought)
Thanks!
Discussion: I made a batch of BBQ sauce, about 2.5 gallons and was wondering what the best way to preserve it was.
Was thinking about putting it in 1 quart canning jars then boiling them.
Is this really required though? Would all the vinegar, sugar and acid preserve it by itself? I bought some sauce bottles with heat shrink caps, could the sauce just be heated up then poured into these bottles?
Discussion: I want to make sure I get him the best rub and BBQ sauce that I can find. I have never been to these places but have been to corky’s and a few others. What would people recommend for the best dry rub and BBQ sauce out there? He doesn’t like overly sweet and prefers a little heat…but not a ton. I usually use Sweet Baby Rays if I am in a pinch.

Discussion: So i am moving into my new college apartment and we don’t really have grills. We have some charcoal barbecue pits but they don’t do the trick and are a hassle to use. What is the best substitute and how and I cook good grilled foods so that they look and taste like they just came off the barbecue? Any insight will be greatly appreciated
Discussion: I don’t want a link UNLESS you have tried it yourself. Do you have a excellent BBQ sauce recipe? Good BBQ is hard to find, and restaurants who serve great tasting ones (legendary quality) are few and far between. I need a recipe you have actually tried.
I Love a great BBQ with cole-slaw smothered across the top. Give me your best shot, baby. Daddy’s taste buds is screaming!
Keeping your energy on the trail can be a delicate balancing act of setting a proper pace and giving your body enough energy from snacks and diet. Many people think that the primary needs for a hiker are carbohydrates. While it is true that carbohydrates provide for lasting energy; people often overlook the need for protein. In fact, protein can be the most valuable nutritional tool in a hiker’s toolkit, especially on the most difficult and rewarding backcountry trails.
While carbohydrates provide energy that is sorely needed on a long calorie burning trek; protein is essential and often overlooked. While hiking you work out muscles over long periods of time. If carrying a pack you are also working out often overlooked (and under-exercised) muscles in your legs and back. The evidence of this is plain; your muscles get sore and tired, often in strange spots. The reason for this is that muscles degrade over time when used. Over the course of a long hike, muscles need the tools to repair themselves, and that is where protein comes in. Protein is the building block of muscle, and providing your body with a good source of protein can greatly reduce recovery times while on the trail.
The most common source of protein for hikers comes in the form of food on the trail. However, it is important to pay special attention to what the snacks you are eating are giving you. Many “power” bars advertise their protein content, and can be a good source of protein. However, that protein often comes with lots of extra fat and sugars that aren’t going to provide the most stable trail diet. Beef Jerky can also be a good source of protein, but it comes with a heavy cost. Jerky dehydrates your body, and will increase your need to intake water in order to stay hydrated. Nuts and dehydrated berries are other common munchies on the trail that pack a similar need to drink extra water.
One way of getting protein that is often overlooked is through dietary supplements. Because its dairy based, whey protein is easier to digest than soy protein making it perfect for the trail. Also, studies show that whey protein is more effective than soy based protein; which is often the protein that gets added to power bars. Since whey protein usually involves mixing powder with water; it is easy to get your protein while hydrating yourself. This makes whey protein a decent way to re-hydrate yourself rather than simply dehydrating yourself with salty nuts or jerky. And since whey protein isn’t packed with unnecessary fats or sugars, you’ll be able to incorporate it into a stable trail diet. For both of those reasons, whey protein can be an excellent way to get protein over a long hike; and protein is the hidden crux of a hiker’s nutritional needs on a long rewarding backcountry trail.
