I have a lot of grills and smokers – I mean really a lot. I recently received something new that I didn’t have: a portable “Elevate Grill” by PointElevate. I’ve used the throw-away kind (the one that looks like a large aluminum turkey pan that is pre-filled with charcoal) at the pond for an impromptu cookout but the Elevate Grill is a real grill with two cooking surfaces powered by a small propane tank.
Antica Pizzeria Port ‘Alba: A Day at the World’s Oldest Pizzeria
To say the least, I was excited to try the real-deal-holy-field pizza in Naples, but being the world’s oldest pizzeria, I imagined Port ‘Alba would have this proud, uppity feeling. However, I was impressed by the humility of the place.
Tequila Superpost, Part 2: What types of tequila are available?
Outside of the origins of tequila, which we discussed in part 1 of this series, it’s arguable that the kinds of tequila are even more critical, especially when you’re out shopping. Here are the 5 primary types of tequila that we talked about at the Fiery Foods Show.
Hot News
I’m still a little sore from the good squeezing I got from the IRS this year but with plenty of juice and cookies, this stone’s blood flow will be back to normal real soon. Here are a couple of barbecue news bits for your reading pleasure.
Chile Chocolate Cake: Recipe

The Way of the Bun: A Quickie on Grilling Etiquette
Last weekend, a good buddy of mine took it upon himself to open the lid on my grill and check the food.
Right after I’d just checked it myself.
You do not second guess someone when they’re grilling unless the grill is consumed in fire. My friend’s lucky he’s stringy or he’d have been the next course. Not because I’m into long pig– I’m not a cannibal. I am, however, a firm believer in object lessons. Especially to any would-be violators of my grill second guessing my work. I have plenty of friends so I can afford to cook one here and there.
Tequila Superpost, Part 1: What is tequila?
If you missed the Fiery Foods Show this year, then you also missed a fun presentation on tequila and tequila cocktails by yours truly. With Cinco de Mayo on the horizon, it’s definitely a perfect time to summarize that presentation in a written format, so you can all benefit from the knowledge and enjoy some great tequila between now and May 5. I’ll include a classic recipe with each post, too.
