They tried really hard to reproduce the Texas BBQ pit in downtown DC, and went the extra mile to serve Tito's vodka and ship in the Blue Bell ice cream. For that, well done.

Brisket (estimate 60 minutes per pound, though thicker or larger non-point cuts might take as much as 90 minutes/pound) 4 Pounds is a good base point.

Deviled Potato Salad

Because of my awesome cole slaw recipe, whenever BBQ season rolls around I always forget that I also have an awesome (borrowed) potato salad recipe.

I have unabashedly used Rachel Ray's recipe and added eggs (in my opinion, a must!).

BBQ'ed Ribs

From Jon's Dad's methodology:

Cook the ribs slow and then start to put the sauce on ....along with salt and pepper.

1 rack of Pork Spare Ribs (not the "country style" which are thicker and harder to cook thouroughly)
Salt and pepper

Sauce:
2/3rds bottle of Kraft BBQ (Hickory or Mesquite Smoke style)
Vinegar to taste
2 Tbsp lemon or lime juice
1 gollup of molasses (~1/4 cup)

Audrey's Cole Slaw

I learned to make this by watching my mom, so I don't really have an exact recipe. But, this is my best guess:

1 package of cole slaw mix (you could shred your own cabbage and carrot, but this is so much easier)

2-3 heaping spoonfuls (big spoon size) of mayonnaise

about 1/8 cup of sugar

about 10 shakes of red wine or apple cider vinegar (shake from a bottle with a rectangular opening)

about 1/2 tsp of horseradish (red or white, doesn't really matter)

pepper to taste

Optional: slivers of apples, raisins, or halved grapes - for a little extra sweet explosion

Persian Chicken Kabab (Jujeh Kabob)

Used a different recipe last time, but it had too much yogurt. Try this recipe next time.

Jerk Chicken

Marinate chicken breasts (bone in is best) with jerk seasoning mixed in with a little extra olive oil, minced garlic, finely chopped scotch bonnet/habanero (optional) and Jamaican allspice (I recommend Grace or Walkerswood, you can make your own if you care that much) for 1 hour

Set the oven to broil and let it warm

microwave the chicken for a few minutes

bake chicken on the lower rack, then move up to the top rack to crisp.
Save drippings to re-apply if you have leftovers, or use as gravy

Also good to grill.
