Just found this guy on Facebook and it looks like we are cut from the same cloth. This thing is actually pretty cool. It’s a grate you put over your grill and delivers a different grilling experience! Check out his site, he even cooks Pasta. Pasta on a grill? I once knew a guy that could cook pancakes on a grill. Now that was cool! Seriously, no tinfoil or anything, just on the grill.
Check out the grill gate though, it’s a cool product!
I don’t have a lot of condiment packets lying around, but if I did, I’d be tempted to try this recipe for pulled pork: Condiments Packet Pulled Pork. (Sounds like this woman is all set: The Condiment Packet Problem.) I’d also maybe add some red pepper flakes and/or garlic or something — whatever spices are on hand, I suppose — to give it a little extra oomph.
The whole concept reminds me of the 99¢ Only Stores Cookbook…and while I don’t have a copy of the book in front of me, nothing I saw online indicated there are any meat recipes in it (which is not to say you couldn’t find good ingredients for a marinade at the dollar store…the cookbook Web site has images of ketchup, capers, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar and diced jalapenos — so I’d imagine an innovative marinader could come up with something).
But what was perhaps *most* interesting to me about my condiment search was uncovering the Condiment Package Museum. (I really like that one of the reasons he says you should send him packets is because it will absolutely make his day.)
And…perhaps most useful to meat fans is this whole other kind of packet that makes grilling a snap. Which is timely, no?
Stop….just stop. What I’m about to show you literally is incomprehensible. While watching this video, you might get the sudden feeling to shake your head side to side and say “audi audi audi” really fast like I did…because this makes my belt tighter just watching it! I’m totally gonna give it a try and report back with my findings!
