Toyomafia - The Clubhouse. 151.880

Kinda like Seinfeld, a show about nothing

 

Yeah, with great life lessons on what not to do.

 

Have a good labor day crew.

 

I need that cooking set up!

 

What’s over in the Dutch?

 

That’s an awesome setup.

 

Careful. Those kitchen knifes weren't made for combat. One slip and you cut your hand and your now infected.

 

Hope this doesn't spark a big debate but how do you know if a BBQ joint is authentic? My brother and I really like this place but weren't sure what purists would think of it.

If you like it, who cares. But, “authentic” will have paper towels, not cloth napkins.

 

Barbecue is a regional thing and everybody will have their favorites and no doubt opinions.
That being said the level of authenticity for me depends on the history of the place, the recipes, and the vision of the owner. Those things can be hard to determine.

 

I mean as long as you guys like it, who cares. If it tickles your pickle in the right way, keep going back.
The places local to me, I’ve found out by word of mouth. When I first started my career, we did work at this place Mr Ks, I then learned the back story; his dad was the first African American cowboy in our area, and the bbq then followed. But he had a super cool history museum in the restaurant, showing all the stuff from back in the day. Pops had colt 45s for door handles on the old dodge pickup.
The other place I’ve been going to recently is a long time pit master in town, times aren’t easy for anyone, so I try to spread the word and support as much as possible.
Boulevard BBQ if anyone is ever in Tucson

 

World War z zombies I'd head for the coast. They are to fast to try and beat head on. Take a boat, find an island and fight off whatever is on there and make it yours. Walking dead zombies I'd find a slump block house on a piece of land and live out my days there. Fortify it as much as I can and welcome in anyone bearing the toyomafia badge.

 

Man smoked meat rarely disappoints a crowd. Like others said if it's good, and you like it then it doesn't matter
I'll search out a spot I consider to be authentic just so I know I'm not getting 'commodity' barbecue made for the masses. Usually a crappy side of town in a city close to the epicenter of a barbecue style. So anytime I'm around KC, Memphis, Texas in general, or in the Carolinas, I'm on the lookout for a place that looks older than the buildings around it. If I can see the woodpile and smoke stacks it's a bonus.

 

Sausage and peppers

 

Don’t forget the sweet tea.

 

Finishing the ribs on the rotisserie

 

This was my covid time off project

 

This is badass.

 

Jealous. I'm in snowflake-ridden suburbia, and the HOA won't even allow a shed.

Great work.

 

We started processing pears today. This is 6lbs = 6 pints.
Several years ago we got about 400lb from the old legacy tree. Our goal is to be able to not buy fruit all year long. I usually dehydrate 20 - 30 lbs. We still have several gallons of frozen pear sauce left from last year. Our apples are still a few weeks out and this year we have a little cider press to help keep up. The pigs are getting the scraps and scabby ones…. Mmmm fat pigs!

 

FUCK YEAH!!

 

The best BBQ restaurants have properly seasoned collard greens and corn on the cob on the menu.

 

Just upstream there were several posts dedicated to moonshine, and here you are with your frozen pear sauce. Sounds like a few folks ought to hit up a few folks...

Edit - - used the wrong Step Brothers meme..

 

That’s cool

 

Epic

 

Just finished the P226 (upper right).
I’m short one takedown lever for my other P229 though.

 

its an enigma.
I don’t think we’re supposed to know and if we find out... well, you’ve seen Indiana Jones.

 

Do those outside kitchens all come with a bald guy on the roof or is that an extra?

I absolutely love this set up!

 

Momma always said, use your think meat.

 

Oh…you fit right in here!
