Everyone has their favorite deli. You walk in and order the same thing almost every time. It's that good. Maybe it's a pastrami sandwich. Maybe it's corned beef with a side of potato salad. It's always the same and that's a good thing because that sandwich is really freakin' tasty.
Read MoreWe spend a lot of time at Food Festivals and Farmers Markets talking to people about DUCKCHAR and Moulard Duck. There is a lot of confusion about the various duck breeds because honestly, it’s confusing. A lot of folks think they have tried Moulard Duck before. Generally speaking, they have not. Different ducks have different tastes, appearances, and applications. And quite frankly, when it comes to cooking and eating, Moulard duck is by far the best tasting duck out there, so tasty that it is known as “Duck Steak”. We are OBVIOUSLY biased but an objective eater would agree, when it comes to the tastiest and best duck, Moulard is King.
Read MoreA little over a week ago, we attended another Eggfest. We'll set the scene for you. It took place at a private airport Upland, California. There were planes flying overhead, mountains as a backdrop, and BGE smoke rising everywhere. This event was our first in Southern California and it did not disappoint. Our friends at Outdoor Kitchen Creations organized this Eggfest and they were nice enough to let us put on yet another "duck demo." We taught some folks how to grill and pan sear Moulard Duck Breast on a Big Green Egg. Then we all had a bite to eat together.

Read MoreIt’s the last weekend of March Madness. Three more games and three more opportunities to incorrectly predict the winners. We have an entirely new betting approach heading into Final Four. Do the opposite. Yes, we are taking the advice of George Constanza, "If every instinct you have is wrong, then the opposite would have to be right,” - our new mantra.
Read MoreEaster Sunday is coming up. And for a lot of folks, that means preparing food for a lot of people. Cooking and creating a cool table setting is fun. Rushing around at the last minute is not. Like anything, if you plan and get a few things together ahead of time, the hours leading up to your big meal will certainly be more pleasant. Here are some tips to make your next meal spectacular and less stressful:

Read MoreThe Sweet 16 is about to tip off and we are re-assessing our bracketology. Apparently, 1 seeds can lose to 16 seeds but 16 seeds still can’t win the tournament. Our bracket advice was wrong, very, very, wrong. However, one strategy did work: picking games based on hypothetical match ups between the schools’ notable alumi. Since this worked last week (see Syracuse pick), it’ll work this week. With the help of Wikipedia we will randomly pick alums from tournament schools to decide the winner (aka basketball analytics).
Read MoreIt is day two of the tourney so your bracket is undoubtedly busted. Don’t worry you’re in good company. Since no one ever knows what will happen, we provided some less-than-expert advice on how to pick your brackets:
Read MoreUnfortunately, we returned to the real world this Monday morning but we had the best weekend ever. We were fortunate enough to attend our first ever Eggfest. It. Was. Amazing. We flew down to Florida for the first annual Chain of Lakes Eggfest hosted by B.J. Mannix in Winterhaven, Florida. B.J. and his team absolutely crushed it.
Read MoreI’m sure you have all heard of writer’s block. Well let us tell you about a lesser known but widespread mental barrier - griller’s block. We’ve all been there before. You look down at your grill and for the first time in a long time you feel, dare I say it, uninspired. What you cook tastes great but the meals are starting to lack in variety.
Read MoreMany of us have retreated to the safe havens of our kitchen during this cold winter. That means less cooking on the grill and more cooking with a cast iron skillet.
