Kansas City Style Barbeque Sauce Recipes

Thursday, December 23rd, 2010

Kansas City style barbeque sauce recipes – there are almost to many to count!  In Kansas City, Missouri,  you can find great BBQ restaurants and bbq sauces around every corner.  A Kansas City style barbeque sauce recipe is traditionally a tomato-based sauce, combined with just the right amount of vinegar, molasses, pepper, brown sugar  and spices.  Try it on pulled pork, brisket, ribs and chicken.

One of the most popular Kansas City BBQ Sauce recipes is KC Masterpiece Original Barbecue Sauce – created by Dr. Rich Davis.   K.C. Masterpiece has recently added a BBQ Bourbon sauce to its line of KC Masterpiece sauces, marinades, and seasoning.

Best Burger – Ray’s Hell Burger

Saturday, December 11th, 2010

Best hamburger in the nation? Ray’s Hell Burger.  Those are strong words, but for those of us lucky enough to go to Ray’s Hell Burger in Arlington, Virginia, you know what I am talking about.  The burgers are HUGE, the meat is freshly ground right in the store (in fact, I think the legal name of the LLC is Butcher’s Burgers), and the place is a big ol’ dive.  They’ve cleaned up the place since its become a frequent meeting place for President Obama, Vice President Biden and foreign leaders, but it still has the same “charm.”  If you are ever in the Washington, DC area, be sure to make the trip, its just over the river in Virginia, and is a shiny place of food happiness.

All American Spice Rub Grilled Vegetable Ratatouille Recipe

2 zucchini squash, cut into quarters lengthwise
2 yellow squash, cut into quarters lengthwise
2 eggplants, cut into ½ inch think rounds
2 red onions, cut into ½ inch think rounds
4 bell peppers (1 red, 1 yellow, 1 orange, & 1 green), stemmed, seeded and cut into quarters
2 pints Baby Bella mushrooms
1 pint cherry tomatoes , left whole
½ cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil, plus 2 tablespoons
2 tablespoons Pork Barrel BBQ’s All American Spice Rub
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons fresh oregano, finely chopped
¼ cup fresh basil leaves, finely chopped

Preheat your grill to a medium-high temperature.  We prefer charcoal, but you can also use a gas grill for this vegetable ratatouille recipe.

Place all of your cut vegetables and the mushrooms and tomatoes in a large bowl and pour the ½ cup of olive oil over the vegetables (toss and coat thoroughly).

Season vegetables with Pork Barrel BBQ’s All American Spice Rub (toss and coat thoroughly) for this vegetable ratatouille recipe.

Place vegetables on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side (tomatoes should be removed when you turn the vegetables over).

On a cutting board coarsely chop your vegetables and move them to a large serving bowl.

Add the 2 tablespoons of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, oregano and basil to the grilled vegetables in the serving bowl and gently mix together.  Serve at room temperature.
