Catfish Hunter

I"ve heard the Anova devices are pretty good too...  wifi or bluetooth as well.     I've always wondered.  I have a couple friends with them as well.

Frogs, like Alligator live on the land and the water.   Ducks and geese live on the land and the water.    Are frogs considered seafood?    What about alligator?

Wether it is on a bun, a platter, in a soup or pasta, what is your protein of choice?

I've put the dry rub on my catfish 🐟 before breading and frying....  Really good too!!!  👍

Everyone knows what a ribeye steak looks like.......

So....  What do you call a ribeye that still has the bone on it???           Bone in Ribeye OR a Rib Steak?

Robert, looks like you're barking up the right tree!!     I just saw this on their FB post:

 

Looks like I need to make a trip over to Cherokee

Catfish Fiddler for me!!!   Old school, like my grandfather... and proud of it, haa haa

Yes, they have some great things going on over there....   Congrats Wendy, Paul and the whole gang!

Come on Restaurant Owners & social marketing people!!!!   Update your weekly specials, kids menus, drink specials please!! 

Edibles & Essentials has a lot of great items...  Looking forward to visiting their truck for cod, just love what they do with that food truck!!

Yeah, I hear that add all the time too, and it drives me nuts when I hear "Prime beef is the top 2% of all beef in the country".     BS to that restaurant, and THANK YOU for the market reports!!

I wonder if that restaurant willingly and knowingly came up or "found" that 2% number or if their meat salesperson uses that as a selling point.....    hmm

I saw this half of a pig head on their FB page.....    As odd as this looks, I could see myself ordering one for the novelty of it...   After all, jowl, cheek meat, snoots are all good eats, right?

I was at Slider House in Rock Hill the other day.... Let me just say that I have been going there almost every other week, often bringing co-workers or clients.   Things changed for what I feel as "the better" around the beginning of September.    The burger tasted fresher, the corned beef and both regular fries and sweet potato waffle fries were better.  Not sure how the fries could be better, but overall something changed for the better in my opinion.  

Things somewhat started changing towards the end of January, 2019.   Service started going downhill starting around the beginning of December... Fries were not fully cooked, and were soggy.  It took forever to get waited on, and overall it just seemed like there was chaos or complete unorganized and lack of leadership.     A recent visit just the other day has me completely turned off.   The food does not taste as fresh as before, especially the burger, pulled pork nor corned beef.    Not a fan of the fries either...   Service took too long, and for the few number of people in the place, there was no excuse.

I've given Slider House my business for a long time, and introduce many people to the Slider House, but I'm not putting my reputation on the line bringing any clients there going forward.   There are far too many restaurants out there to spend that kind of money and be unhappy with the Slider House.     Just my opinion, I hope others have had better reviews

Wow, that was a really great article.  I like the input from the various bacon producers.  

Welcome Andy, glad to have you on board. 

Does anyone know the food truck schedule for st. Louis parks this year? 

Happy birthday!  Hope it's a good one!

I don't know all the details of what or why, but it's apparent that GrubGo has shut down, owing several restaurants a lot of money.    Were they only based in St. Louis?  The web site is actually pretty nice and convincing.   It's a shame that they left the industry owing hard working restaurant owners money.

This is from their site, which is still live:  https://www.eatgrubgo.com

GrubGo was created to provide hungry consumers with the ability to order the food they want, from the local restaurants they want and have it delivered to them at their home, office or hotel for a fair price and within an average of 45 to 55 minutes.

By providing a variety of prepared meal choices along with the convenience of delivery, we bring a better quality of life to everyone we touch.

GrubGo is a restaurant marketing firm that advertises restaurants. When engaging our services to arrange food delivery, you are hiring the services of a self-employed contractor.

WOW!!!!   Those look AMAZING!   

Really good food!   There's reason they've made it so long.

Salt and Smoke on Delmar will be opening a second location this summer I believe.   They bought the building that was previously occupied by Matthew's.   This should give them more banquet or private party space.

Congrats on the continued success! 

That looks amazing!    Where can we taste this?   I'm guessing it's not an every day type of offering...   Perhaps for banquets and weddings?      How many people do you think on average would you cook this for?

Thanks for sharing!

Count me in!!  Whoohoo!    Who doesn't love FREE, especially such a high quality set of knives...   Thanks for the chance to be entered into the drawing! 

They have great food...  Everything my wife and I have tasted has always been fantastic!    I don't think I could pick just one favorite item, they're all amazing.     Congratulations to Katie on all her accomplishments and what she does for St. Louis!  

ST. LOUIS, MO--(Marketwired - December 07, 2016) - 2016 marks an exciting year for Chef Ben Grupe of St. Louis restaurants Elaia and Olio, who as Team Captain, lead the American Culinary Federation (ACF) Culinary National Team USA to rank fourth in the world overall and take home three gold medals in the 24th Internationale Kochkunst Ausstellung (IKA) International Culinary Exhibition, known as the "culinary Olympics." Taking place October 22-25 in Erfurt, Germany, team USA showcased amazing talent under Grupe's leadership, Executive Chef of the Bengelina Hospitality Group sister restaurants. It's a proud moment for the U.S. culinary community, and for the city of St. Louis, as the team of six accomplished chefs, with Grupe at the helm, displayed ardent competition and passion for American cuisine.

ACF Culinary National Team USA achieved three gold medals during this year's "culinary Olympics," including one gold medal in the Hot Kitchen Programme, one gold medal in the Culinary Art (cold food) Programme, and an additional gold medal for earning the top score in the world in the Culinary Art Programme. Out of 30 teams competing during the global competition, Grupe and the entire Team USA is honored to have placed fourth in the world during the rigorous three-day event.

This is the second "culinary Olympic" term for Grupe, having participated on Team USA in 2012 and then receiving the honorable position of Team Captain for 2016. Grupe set his sights on the "culinary Olympics" early on in his career, where mentoring chefs during his time in The Greenbrier Culinary Apprenticeship Program were involved and encouraged him to do the same. Greenbrier fostered a healthy competitive environment, preparing Grupe for the rigorous selection process when the time came to try out for Team USA 2012. During Grupe's first term, he was eager to raise the bar for excellence and as Team Captain in 2016, he embraced his responsibilities including liaising between the team and the coaches and ensuring the team's operation ran smoothly.
