Rudy's BBQ and a Pink Ribbon

I have to tell you that pink is now one of my favorite colors.  If you know me, you know why.  I will also say that you don't think of pink and BBQ unless it is a smoke ring on a well smoked brisket.  Shannon and I found a great combination of pink and bbq this morning with nothing to do about a smoke ring.

We had ourselves a good little workout this morning and went to Rudy's BBQ in Allen for a rewarding brunch of breakfast tacos.  Rudy's has some of the best breakfast tacos out there.  The eggs are cooked great and the BBQ with the eggs is just awesome.  But the key to a good breakfast taco is a good tortilla and their tortillas are great.  I don't know where they get them or if they make them but they are good.  Overall, I say that Rudy's is a good choice for a good lunch and a great choice for an excellent brunch.  My big surprise this morning at Rudy's was the iced tea (great sweet tea by the way) and not really the iced tea but the cups for the iced tea.  Rudy's has changed their cups for the month of October to pink cups in honor of breast cancer awareness.  I love to see that.  I am a huge supporter of breast cancer awareness as it has impacted our family in many ways.  Seeing a local business supporting the cause is just great.  

So go by your local Rudy's , buy an amazing iced sweet tea and donate a buck to a worthy cause.  You will get a free tea next time and an awesomely cool pink cup to make all your friends jealous.  Thank you Rudy's for supporting this!

Movin' on up!

I sat down today to write my blog.  I've been in the kitchen today and last night working on getting things ready for my first real BBQ catering job.  (more are lined up so look out!)  I got to thinking that things are starting to roll here and was thinking "what should I title this outburst today?"  And it hit me.  Movin' On Up in honor of one of my favorite shows as a kid. "The Jeffersons" and Sherman Hemsley.  I will walk around like him all day today.  No pictures please.  So Chad and I are doing our first real catering event Saturday.  I am very excited.  We are catering for 50 people and I hope they love it as much as I love cooking it.  I decided to jar up some of my sauce to send with the BBQ.  Take a look....

So it looks like we are becoming a real business.  As you can see in the picture, I named this first sauce " Shannon's Sauce".  It is sweet and sassy just like my lovely wife.  If you want the whole story of why I named it that, drop me a line.  I will say that she inspires me daily so some of her has to be a part of what her and I are building.

Well, ya better get crackin' on hitting us for your BBQ.  The calendar is filling fast...well, it is filling.  Drop us a line and let us help you.  So keep on smokin and let me know if you  want to hear a story of strength and courage.  Until next time, hook 'em!
