eating out

[DOGS THAT BARK]

Was reading Jokers thread on DC and restaurant recommendations --and wondering if any shared this tendency.

Anytime (very few) that I eat out at expensive restaurant--I look at the menu and consider--
I can have item A tonight or I get up and go to krogers and get 5 lbs of ribeyes and 5lbs king crab and have as good or better meal for entire week.

I do the math for the wife at the kitchen table..


Then I send her to the docks for fresh seafood and let her spend an additional few bucks on a nice bottle of wine for her..:0069


We will do fine dining from the double-wide trailer in Key West:0066 when my old ass can't crawl on the ground anymore or endure hours on a Zero.


"Fine Dining"...

I got your fine dining...

Pass the hush-puppies...

Think that way all the time. We can get a hamburger or I can pick up a couple of lobsters for the same money.

Fine dining to me sounds like a real borefest and a costly one at that. Id rather do some nice ribeyes and potatoes on my grill. If Im going out Im going where I can get some red muscles and 12 or so beers and there has to be sports on the Tube.

Having a big green egg has really cut down on visiting restaurants - although I will never make sushi, I will always go out and buy it and I will never age porterhouse steaks in a dry room for 27 days. I don't even have a dry room.

I also like going out and eating - and not having to do the dishes - or the wife for that matter.

All that being said - the Big Green Egg is worth its weight in gold.

ribeyes on that bad boy yesterday. :mj06:

Why do I have trouble getting the temp over 500 sometimes?

Don't say blocked vents or not enough coal. Just sometimes it will not go over 500 and sometimes no problem getting it to 750. 700+ is the key to the best steaks.

I used to have that problem until I started cleaning the egg out twice a season. I take out the fire ring and clean it out completely. Then when I add the charcoal (start the fire) and close the lid, I open the metal top wide open and the draft door at the bottom. That's when the heat gets up to 750 to problem. I also use an electric starter instead of starter chips.

I've never pulled the fire ring so I will do that today. I clean the bottom out damn near everytime and I make sure there's no ash in the leftover coal by stirring it up real good before adding more.

Clean by taking out fire ring next up. :0008

Can hit balls for free at driving range--if I just want to hit balls--or can practice sand shots chipping and putting for free at course--I do those freebees when I'm not playing.

I been thinking about this and trying to think if our family ever went anywhere to eat out. We always had lots bbq frog/fish frys with other families but as far as going out to eat--bout only thing I can remember is church had annual pan cake jamboree that father worked at each year.
Can't ever remember going to restaurant.
