Do you like grilling, but you want to learn more?

Need some new ideas and tips for making a spectacular meal?

I am here to help you!

My name is Bobby Joe and I can take you to the next level of grilling!

Born in Edinburg, Texas, I was surrounded by many Mexican grill masters. That’s how I learned to make mouthwatering BBQ dishes and have since traveled the world with my recipes. Each place I visited has helped me to perfect my recipes with unique style and cultural influence.

Delicious Homemade BBQ Dishes & Sides

These unique secret recipes will amaze you and your guests with flavor and style. My BBQ recipes are perfect for family gatherings, parties, outdoor grilling, or any meal. Put passion and zest into your kitchen by serving the best BBQ around. Learn to be a Pit master! The art of grilling is at your fingertips. With a little guidance and some practice, you will become a pro. How can I help you? It’s simple. First, I am gonna give you my Cherished Bourbon BBQ Sauce Recipe FREE!! Go ahead and copy and paste the recipe below:

BOURBON BBQ SAUCE RECIPE

KANSAS CITY MASTERPIECE (Original)… BUY ONE GALLON OF IT, PLAIN

EIGHT CUPS OF FRESH SWEET WELL WATER (softened) OR DISTILLED

TWO CUPS OF APPLE CIDER VINEGAR

2/3 CUP LIQUID SMOKE

1/6 CUP CELERY SEED

1/6 CUP FRESH GROUND BLACK PEPPER

1/6 CUP KOSHER SALT

ONE TABLE SPOON POWDERED CAYENNE

ONE CUP OF JIM BEAM BOURBON…BLACK LABEL

Combine all of the ingredients except for the bourbon into an eight quart ceramic crock-pot or stainless steel sauce pan. Bring to a very slow simmer and stir frequently. After the sauce has reached a temperature of 165 degrees, remove from heat and add the bourbon. Stir in very well and taste. The only adjustment you may need is a little more salt, but I really doubt that you will.

Then, after you have felt the glory of friends and family giving you praise for what you have just created, you will begin to wonder what else I can do for you.. How much better can BBQ possibly get? That is where I offer you my "God of the Golden Grill" Recipe Collection.

God of the Golden Grill Collection

	Texas Charred Brisket - This recipe is excellent all by itself! Enjoy the flavors of a caramelized BBQ sauce crust and extra juicy and tender brisket trapped on the inside.. No brisket you will ever have is as juicy and tender as what you will get by following my time tested recipe for this showpiece! You get my favorite blend of woods to smoke this beast with and the best brine to use.. This recipe will work perfectly with the FREE Bourbon BBQ Sauce Recipe above. This is the creation you shouldn't go without.. You will be untouchable!!
	Bourbon Pulled Pork- Some call this delicious dish Chopped Pork or even shredded Pork.. I call it Pulled Pork because you can easily pull the juicy tender meat into succulent pieces with your hands. This is a very affordable BBQ that will totally floor your guests with it's tangy zesty flavors and the unbeatable tenderness of the meat.. Everyone will be asking you how you kept the meat so juicy and tender.. I usually just smile and tell them God was smiling on me and the devil was helpin' me grill today.. This delicious dish is perfect for picky eaters and BBQ connoisseurs alike.. Many times I have heard guests say to me " I usually don't like pork, but WOW!!"
	Fall-off-the-Bone Baby Back Ribs-This is where you are really gonna see how good Barbecue can be.. This is every mans dream to be able to perfectly grill some lip smackin' ribs.. These are competition quality ribs and all men will bow down to you and pay respect for your new found masterpiece.. Juicy Tender every time!!
	Asian Pineapple Roadrunners-A refreshing twist on grilled chicken! The flavors of the Philippine Islands perfectly blended with Jack Daniels Whiskey, A bit of pineapple, soy, ginger, and a couple of other secret ingredients create an excellent BBQ'd main dish.. This is an excellent way to impress your friends and family.. I put this recipe together during my stay on the island of Cebu and have worked on it for six years.. It is as good as it can be and always a pleasure to serve at any event.
	Dijon Potato Salad-There is nothing better than a perfect side of potato salad to marry with any of the main courses above and this particular salad is beautiful in appearance and just divine in flavor.. It is a perfect balance of fresh red potatoes, sour cream, horseradish, Fresh dill and a few other ingredients that bring it all together..I think it is the White Zinfandel Wine that I add right at the end that is the secret to it's success.. Perfect with any main course of BBQ.. Perfect for any time of the year and it even goes well with a complicated dish like Beef Wellington.. We have pulled it off successfully at a few of our events with raves and praise!!
	Graceland Coleslaw-This is one side that is well worth the three months it will take you to create the vinegar base that you will use at the time of serving.. Apple cider vinegar and several spices are mixed and stored for three months to allow the flavors to mix perfectly.. Then in one smooth move, you will see another creation from heaven as you combine a couple of other ingredients into fresh, crispy creamy Coleslaw.. Absolutely the best!!
	Red Beans and Rice-This side will add a bit of Cajun and Mexican influence to your table.. With zesty Fresh simmered beans and rice, smoked pork and finished off with fresh squeezed lemon juice and fresh cilantro.. WOW!! This side is very good!! Goes great with any dish above or you can simply grill some of your favorite Kielbasa sausage or even brats..
	Santa Fe Green beans-Another favorite embraced by many at several events I have done.. The twist on this lovely side is the Smoked bacon, garlic, sweet onion and here once again, the grand finally is the addition of lemon juice and fresh cilantro right at the time of serving.. This is an excellent compliment to any dish above and goes with any of your favorites as well.. Very easy to prepare and always welcome on anyone's table!
	Laguna Madre Salad-Balsamic Vinegar and Extra Virgin Olive oil blended with freshly minced garlic top off this garden fresh salad made of romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumber and a few other special additions..
	Super Moist Corn Bread Muffins-These are the best cornbread muffins you will ever have! Very light and moist and pair nicely with any sides to compliment your main dish.. Buttery sweet corn flavor that just makes everyone want to melt. The recipe took me about two years to perfect and it was well worth the effort in the end..
	Mexican Wedding Cookies-These little jewels are a recipe that was born from my childhood growing up in South Texas. They were usually only served at special events like Christmas and weddings.. But they are so good, I had to offer them as a dessert. Created from almonds, vanilla, butter and other ingredients, you will find they do not last very long in anyone's presence.. Excellent buttery almond flavors will surely please an entire room or yard full as a dessert anytime!

My Unique, Time tested recipes speak for themselves. Just see what these happy people had to say about them:

"Hey Bobby Joe,

I wanted to let you know that I tried your brisket recipe Saturday and we had it today. That along with that AWESOME bar-b-que sauce recipe was totally indescribable. especially the sauce of which I made a gallon and a half of. I took some of it over a friends house and they thought that it was better than their favorite restaurant and they have been all over the USA so I was very happy about that. I am looking forward to trying the other recipes in the near future. Thanks again, Pat" Orange, Texas

"Dear Bobby Joe,

I want to thank you for your excellent recipes. I don't as a rule, like chicken but your chicken recipe is excellent. And your cole slaw!!!!!!! I thought I made good cole slaw but your is truly superb. My guests thought I suddenly became a gourmet cook when I served the chicken, potato salad and cole slaw at a dinner party recently. They were quite impressed. I told them a little lie about how they are my recipes, but never mind that, they were all very happy and I just want to say thank you sincerely.

Keep up the great work, Arianna" Bolingbrook, IL
