Hickory Grilled Center Cut Chops with Sausages of Love both Spicy and Mild

Posted on by


If you’re eating well and wanting to listen to good music, I nearly always choose fast flowing classical. And if that isn’t going, I’ll switch to John Denver or Woody Guthrie. This will usually suffice, however when it can’t overcome? Clearly Helen Reddy wins the bid, timeless and built to withstand time.
Just like Pork, Mesquite and Hickory. Tonight’s meal was delivered by Niman Ranch with their thick pork loin chops grilled directly. Then we have Rick’s Hot and Mild Italian Sausage. These sweet sausages are tenderly hand-made with care and forethought. Sure the mild ones are fine, but what will draw you in is the Hots. I know, I know, ewww, hot food! ICK. No, this isn’t that. Yes, they are ‘spicy’ but not hot. What sets them apart is the apparent huge flood of red wine and fat, warm happy pork fat. The stuff that puts the flavor all over your apprehensive mowf.
Real Wood, Real Fire & Real Meat = Real Happy Diners (they don’t hassle your ass).
It’s summer, get fat.

  1. Has anyone on here been to Dee’s meats in Galt? Someone read my CL post and recommended him, but it could be an employee. I’m still going to Oregon though.

  2. I can’t get Marty Robbins’ “El Paso” out of my head. Play it almost every day. Saddest song I ever heard.
    OK: wood chips. Totally awesome store in San Rafael, Western Boat. Part marina store, part fish monger. Salmon, local halibut, live dungeness, Hog Island oysters. And bags of wood chips, all varieties. C’mon over! One little bridge hop.
    Also: Have you HAD the bacon (Wellshire) from Whole Foods?

  3. I find Johnny Cash goes best when cooking meat on open flame & The Pistols when it’s just me in the house and I’m wearing an apron. Actually, that kinda came out wrong…
