  1. .....

    But countering that were words I’d read in Bourdain, and elsewhere – “If you go to the kitchen of any successful restaurant in the the US, you’ll find Columbians hard at work making certain everything is done well.”

    .....

    I am enjoying your travelogue. Thank you, Peter.

    Not to take anything away from the Colombians, I believe that Anthony Bourdain is most often quoted concerning his appreciation of Ecuadorian line-cooks.

  2. I believe the New England Barbecue Society's contests are conducted using the Kansas City Barbeque Society's rules and regulations. Those are KCBS judging forms in the photos.

    One of johnnyd's photo-captions says, "The judges argue merits of rib entries..." This might be a tad misleading. The judges do not confer amongst themselves until everyone has finished scoring the entries on their own. At your judging table, "No discussion with other judges when judging. When all slips have been turned in, you may talk quietly; remember, others may still be judging."

    The KCBS runs classes to become certified judges. Get certified and volunteer to judge at any KCBS sanctioned contest. Time to buy that motorhome and hit the road for some 'cue?

    Current KCBS contest rules.

    Current KCBS instructions for judges.

  3. I am revising my top-five list slightly. Someone else's search for a replacement for Inner Beauty led me to try Rasta Fire Hot Sauce. It is touted as having the same recipe. Having never tried Inner Beauty, I can't make a comparison, but I like it a lot. Rasta is bumping Marie Sharp's from my list.

    Amazon Hot Green Sauce - Tangy.

    Dave's Gourmet Total Insanity Hot Sauce - Not their hottest, but hot enough to go a long way in cooking. The label says, "Not for people with heart/respiratory problems." Believe it. Trust me.

    Marie Sharp's Hot Habañero Pepper Sauce

    Rasta Fire Hot Sauce - Sweet and tangy. The curry and the cumin make it my new favorite with rice and beans.

    Tabasco Red Pepper Sauce - Original Flavor - Ya gotta love what ya were raised on.

    Túóng Ót Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce - Garlicky. They should put this out in pizza parlors.
