contest Begin! TOAST Throwdown

Not open for further replies.
Rooze I don't think it had anything to do with what you made. I imagine like what megamoo said most people may have been a little TDed out.

Also this one seemed to slip through the cracks on me. Maybe I was so over whelmed by looking over and voting for all of last months entries that I some how missed this thread until it was too late for me.
 
This TD came right on the heels of the last one. I could have done something special but I'm way too busy right now.
 
Chill Rooze. Your stuff was awesome, but not unprecedented.

Paulky goes big all the time and everyone loves it, several times he has made a buffet fit for kings.

I shot sausage through a potato gun covered in natural casing.

Throwdowns are where you show off your crazy side...if you want to pull anything, pull your apology!

No worries bud!
 
I woke up this morning and had no idea where my pants were, so mad props to everyone that got their act together and posted this weekend.
 
Manzzies! Last night was mangoes, but I managed to make some food somehow.

It started with some sourdough starter FD and I have been cultivating. This was our first shot at sourdough. There is plenty in the baking/making process that will need some refining, but the first loafs were good enough.

Most of that bread is gone because I made a platter of toast tapas using as many hot sauces I could get my hands on. I realize I forgot to throw some picklese on one of these. Damn, that would have been the best one.

Sum's Toasted Sourdough Smoked Pork Tapas


Whipped up a mean sourdough with the help of FDwife... his better half. Let that rise for a couple beers, then punched it down, split it in half, lubed up the loaf pan and tossed half in. The other half was formed out round and both were left for a few more beers for the second rise. The smoked pork, which had been done many, many beers before over coals and apple wood chips, was chilling in the fridge getting set for the meat slicer. Grabbed a fresh mango from FD's yard... they're EVERYWHERE, and a couple banana leaves. Time for some fireworks.


Smoked Pork Loin:
Dry rubbed two days prior with onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and a dash of hab powder.
Smoked for three hours in the Weber with apple wood chips for smoke @ 250F. Then wrapped in foil and tossed in the oven for an hour @ 350F. Then tossed in the fridge to firm up.
Delish. I wish I had pictures of the meat slicing. I've got mean skills with meat.


Sourdough Bread:
The starter is a recipe RocketMan hooked FD up with. I'm not sure of the whole process, but I babysat this thing for several days last week.
After the second rise, the pan was tossed into a preheated oven @375F convect. The round dough was gently placed on the preheated pizza stone. Rustic.


Sauces:
A shout out to RocketMan for hooking SoFlo up with some fermented pepper sauce. TriniMike also hooked us up with some mean sauce. FD whipped up a mango hot sauce a couple weeks ago which is not too shabby. El Yucateca and Marie Sharps always make their way onto something when Busch Light is involved.


Funyuns:
Crushed with hand or left whole... must play Fugees' songs while consuming. It magically makes them taste even more awesome.

And a shot of SoCo for the toast.


Prost!
 
Nice! Darn I wish I could make bread like that. Mine tasted alright but looked like rolled up carpet tile :(

Paulky with the cheeze splooge all over the pork.

Pork in 3 forms, the chop, the bacon, and the spicy rind. Well done again!!!

THP...I would punch someone in the eye to get a piece of that steak!! Looks awesome!



But I think there's only one meal here that really captures the complexity and versatility of Toast, the other brown meat...the pulled one!!!! :)
 
Pol!
