Neither my friend nor I had any change for the parking meter. We had searched for good restaurants on our respective smart phones and had settled on 8407 Kitchen Bar in Silver Spring, Maryland. Among other things, they are known … Continue reading

“BBQ Pitmasters” seems to be on every time I flip past a new cable channel called Destination America. I can relate to the cooking competition on that show much more easily than any of the gourmet cooking shows my wife … Continue reading

It was obvious from the packet of instructions for the judges that the organizers of the Big BBQ Bash knew what they were doing. I’ve been invited to judge a few cooking contests over the years. Usually the instructions are … Continue reading
Veg Out
Fr. Ragan Schriver was definitely outside his comfort zone on Friday night. It’s not often that a vegetarian goes to a barbeque festival. I persuaded my friend to show up at Sevierville’s Bloomin’ Barbeque & Bluegrass on his way home … Continue reading
Frank and Beans
Three of the dishes in the Anything Bush’s Beans category at Sevierville’s Bloomin’ Barbeque & Bluegrass on Friday were mind-boggling in their appearance. Last year I thought the carrot cake made with beans was impressive. This year, I saw a … Continue reading
Bloomin’ Barbecass!
An unusual bean dish amazed me last year at Sevierville’s Bloomin’ Barbeque & Bluegrass festival. This year, I was privileged to serve as a judge for three competitions: Anything Bush’s Beans, Anything Wampler’s Sausage and BBQ sauce. The festival allowed … Continue reading

The green beans tasted like meat at the Loveless Cafe. Of course, I would expect nothing less from a place serving authentic Southern cooking. The beans were the closest thing we had to an actual vegetable when we went to … Continue reading
