"Amazing Secret Finally Revealed by Retired Kentucky Restaurant Owner
Eliminates All Guesswork... And Makes Cooking Up 'Practically Addictive'
Barbecue Simple!"
Dear Friend,
If you've ever wanted to cook up barbecue so incredible your guests actually close their eyes, make the "mmmmm" sound, and ask the person next to them if they can believe what they're tasting... then this will be the most important message you ever read.
Here's what this is all about:
My name is Randy Pryor, and until recently, I was your basic BBQ "hack." I had a Weber and some tongs, what else did I need?
Sometimes I'd grill up the meat so it was perfect on the outside, but raw on the inside... then the very next BBQ, using the same equipment, my steaks would be fine on the inside and burnt on the outside.
I remember standing over
the grill after everyone left, one emotional hair-trigger away from
hauling the whole thing to the dumpster and never even attend another barbecue for the rest of my life.
Doesn't it drive you nuts? I
had no consistency to my cooking at all, even after 20 years of
barbecuing regularly. No way to tell how "done" the meat really was.
And it wasn't for lack of
trying, either - I'd easily dropped several thousand dollars buying
whatever equipment the "pro's" suggested at the time. I just couldn't
make it work.
How My Life Changed - Forever
Quite a few years ago, my
wife's grandfather owned a very successful restaurant in western
Kentucky (known to many for their killer BBQ).
In fact, it was so
successful that, when it was time to finally retire, the sale of the
restaurant allowed him to put enough money away so that he and his wife can live "quite comfortably" for the rest of their lives.
About twice a year, my wife
(who, at one time, worked in the restaurant) and I would fly back to
Kentucky to visit all her relatives.
When I asked her grandfather if he would teach me how to barbecue (I mean really barbecue) he always declined (...something about me not understanding 'cause I was from California.)
Well, after many trips back east, and much arm-twisting, he finally considered the idea of sharing with me the closely guarded secrets of real BBQ'ing - the secrets he built his restaurant's reputation on, and the kind of barbecuing that folks talk about for weeks.
But, he did not
want these secrets out in the world for "every Tom, Dick, and Harry."
And, he was concerned that his town friends would be very upset if this
information was just frittered away.
So, I promised him that I would only make this information available to the most serious barbecuers.
He said he'd have to think about it some more.
Six months later, we flew
back. It seemed to me that every time I talked to him about the idea, he
grew less and less receptive. So, I dropped it.
Then One Day, Out Of The Blue, It Happened...
He clicked off Jerry
Springer, moved the TV tray, rolled out of the lay-z-boy, stood up and
left the room. He returned with a shoe box. Then another. Then three
cardboard boxes full of notebooks of all kinds.
There were literally
hundreds of (what was thought to be long-lost) time-tested recipes,
tips, and techniques that have been handed down from generation to
generation.
The collected scraps of
paper were found in attics, basements and pantries and given to granddad
over the years. Often there was no way to know where they originally
came from.
But, sometimes the names of
the authors, or at least the name of the person writing it down, were
scribbled on them. Folks named Aunt Orpha, Eva Nell, Daytha, Grandma
Brownie, Bubb, Daddo, and Sweety.
This was the mother load.
I gave him my word that, as
a teacher, I would catalog, research, test, and re-test the whole
process before I taught anything to anyone.
And, because he still lives
in the same little town in KY, where everyone knows everyone else's
business, I promised him anonymity. He said he didn't care about all
that, "... as long as folks didn't know who he was."
So, over the past 10 years, I've been quietly perfecting a simple step by step fool-proof system for teaching others the REAL art of barbecue and grilling.
Here's what others have said recently after using my system:
Everyone claims to have the best recipe or technique for cooking the best BBQ sauce, or the best BBQ ribs, or the best BBQ meat.
And really, it's a pride thing. We all want to be able to produce the best BBQ because America's culture is rooted in BBQ.
But the truth is that there is a LOT of bad BBQ out there... in restaurants and in backyards all across this country. And if you are a connoisseur of BBQ like me, then I am sure you have been unfortunate enough to try a bitter, tough rib or a mushy, tasteless piece of pork.
There are even guys out there that claim to be BBQ "gurus"... these guys write books on BBQ, they post recipes online and they even host TV shows! And, of course, they all claim to have the best BBQ in the world.
Now I am sure that several of these "gurus" recipes and slow-smoked techniques are good... but I can guarantee you that they have not put those recipes, methods and techniques through rigorous fire of BBQ Competition.
For the past 10 years, I have spent almost every weekend of the summer either at a BBQ contest - or practicing my BBQ skills at home.
Almost every weekend I compete against 20 - 50 guys who work just as hard as I do on my BBQ.
Almost every weekend I put my methods and my recipes up on the chopping block to be judged.
And I have to tell you, when you get a group of guys together - and put bragging rights and prize money on the line... weekend after weekend... the quality of BBQ that gets produced is taken to a WHOLE NEW LEVEL!
And while the guys on TV and the restaurants strive to meet a certain level of quality within their BBQ, Competition cooks have to constantly try new ideas and work to improve every little detail of their BBQ - because that is what it takes to win. And believe me; every guy out there wants to win.
Basically, competition BBQ is the best BBQ that is being produced in the United States today... simply because it HAS to be the best - or you don't win.
