Recipe insights & TIPS

I recently heard a radio commercial while driving around with my toddler asleep in his car seat. The ad was for a popular barbecue rib-type sandwich, boasting that it offered the "Taste of real barbecue."

I couldn't help but laugh out loud at the tagline, almost waking up my little one! As a barbecue enthusiast, I find it amusing when fast-food chains claim to deliver authentic barbecue flavors.

True barbecue requires hours of slow cooking, smoking, and careful seasoning, something that can't be replicated in a fast-food sandwich. This experience reminded me of the importance of seeking out genuine barbecue joints that honor traditional cooking methods.

If you're a fan of real barbecue, always look for places that take the time to prepare their meats properly, ensuring you get that rich, smoky flavor that defines authentic barbecue.

Not only that, they claim it's slathered with a Memphis-style barbecue sauce. I feel sorry for all the Memphians who churn out quality barbecue and sauce that would outsell that weird-shaped slab any day.

A similar advertisement making me wonder is from another popular fast food chain (picture yellow star with a happy face).

They proudly claim their biscuits are made from scratch but arrive at the store frozen. The biscuits must be made somewhere...they don't just materialize in front of your eyes.

The buns are made from scratch or the tortillas or the...I gotta stop now. I'm not judging where anyone eats, I just think it's funny how one thing can be called something when it's completely not.

Today I made breakfast biscuits... from scratch. I mixed dry ingredients like flour, with wet ingredients like buttermilk. I filled them with smoked bacon, fried egg, and Havarti cheese, a splash of hot sauce, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
