- 1:33Speaker 1: I have to set up. I have the the Big
- 1:36Speaker 1: Green Egg, I have the table that comes with it.
- 1:39Speaker 1: I got this beautiful cover that goes over it, and
- 1:43Speaker 1: that bad Boy I've set up. That bad Boy has
- 1:46Speaker 1: been covered for six years. That's okay, I got So
- 1:54Speaker 1: having you on the show means that, guess what, it's
- 1:57Speaker 1: time for the big unveiling of that. I gotta it
- 2:00Speaker 1: all and your book. Tell us how you got involved
- 2:03Speaker 1: with this? You know, the Big Green Egg, the signs.
- 2:06Speaker 1: I'm based in Atlanta from you, So it's like barbecue Capital,
- 2:11Speaker 1: smoke Capital, where when I've lived all my life. Okay,
- 2:14Speaker 1: so the Big Green Egg. You cannot avoid the Big
- 2:17Speaker 1: Green Egg. Okay, So tell us exactly what is the
- 2:20Speaker 1: Big Green Egg and what makes it so special? David alright,
- 2:25Speaker 1: so the Big Green I it's been around for forty
- 2:28Speaker 1: plus years now, back in the seventies and Ed Fisher
- 2:31Speaker 1: the founder, creator, CEO of Big Green Egg. What he
- 2:37Speaker 1: did actually was he was in the military, he was
- 2:39Speaker 1: overseas in Japan, and it was based off of the
- 2:43Speaker 1: Komodo smoker has been around for thousands of years, clay
- 2:46Speaker 1: pot and essentially, you know, you could smoke and you
- 2:50Speaker 1: could do all types of foods, meats, proteins, vegetables on it.
- 2:54Speaker 1: So he set a couple back, shipped them back to
- 2:57Speaker 1: the States and said this Komodo smoker, this is good,
- 3:01Speaker 1: but it can be better, it can be great. So
- 3:03Speaker 1: what he did then from there is um he started,
- 3:06Speaker 1: you know, kind of fixing them up, enhancing the hardware,
- 3:09Speaker 1: making him a little more sturdier, and started selling them
- 3:12Speaker 1: and branding them as Big Green Eggs. But when Big
- 3:14Speaker 1: Green Neck really took off is when he started working
- 3:17Speaker 1: with NASA and using the same ceramics that NASA space shuttles. You.
- 3:21Speaker 1: So there's some scientific to it as well. My friends.
- 3:24Speaker 1: It heats up quickly, cools down, quickly and retains temperature
- 3:29Speaker 1: very evilly and due to the poorous nature of the smoker.
- 3:33Speaker 1: You know, for those who aren't quite as technically you know,
- 3:37Speaker 1: savvy with drilling, it really is forgiving because if something's porous,
- 3:41Speaker 1: that means it retains moisture as opposed to your stainless
- 3:45Speaker 1: steel smokers or grills. And the thing that I love
- 3:48Speaker 1: most about the big green negg what eggheads you call
- 3:51Speaker 1: big green neck advocates love so much about it is
- 3:54Speaker 1: the versatility of it. Where you can do low and slow,
- 3:58Speaker 1: hot and fast. You could cold smoke, you can do steaks, pizzas, ribs, briskets. Uh.
- 4:04Speaker 1: And again, what I really love doing is highlighting that versatility.
- 4:08Speaker 1: So soups, salads, entrees, desserts, um. You have led down.
- 4:16Speaker 1: Let's slow this down. Okay, you know this is my show.
- 4:20Speaker 1: We can talk slowly. We're gonna talk about recipes. We
- 4:23Speaker 1: gotta do a little quick sale on this show. This
- 4:26Speaker 1: ain't a quick sales just to get to know my audience.
- 4:28Speaker 1: They know I talked about food creatively now because see
- 4:32Speaker 1: I've been blessed with the skill I've been I've been
- 4:35Speaker 1: award when he chef, I've gotten that honor. I mean,
- 4:38Speaker 1: I mean a baker, and I love to cook. You know.
- 4:41Speaker 1: I come from a family or big Black families, six sisters,
- 4:44Speaker 1: two brothers, you know, all the home cooked meals because
- 4:47Speaker 1: we didn't have that much. So everything was cooked. But
- 4:49Speaker 1: I didn't learn to because I had six sisters. My
- 4:52Speaker 1: parents old school, they wouldn't let me in the kitchen, okay,
- 4:55Speaker 1: so I just had to watch all the time, and
- 4:57Speaker 1: not justins. I went to college that I started cooking.
- 5:00Speaker 1: I learned how to cook at the Jewish Delhi. That's
- 5:02Speaker 1: what was my first job out of in college was
- 5:04Speaker 1: Jewish Deli. And that's why I learned how to cook
- 5:06Speaker 1: Maso balls and all that are one of my favorite
- 5:09Speaker 1: all time meals. That German potato sound, you know, all that,
- 5:12Speaker 1: all that but all that stuff, and so that's why
- 5:14Speaker 1: I really got introduced, you know, and the green being
- 5:17Speaker 1: who loge from all that good stuff. I learned how
- 5:20Speaker 1: to do that at the Jewish Delhi. And so but
- 5:22Speaker 1: the thing about it is that as over the years,
- 5:25Speaker 1: you get trapped in your own skill set what you
- 5:29Speaker 1: do and not want to innovate or not trying to change.
- 5:32Speaker 1: And that's what this interview is about showing people like,
- 5:35Speaker 1: you know, my dad, he grew up on the drum barrel.
- 5:38Speaker 1: That's when we drew up, Bobby qut on and so
- 5:42Speaker 1: so what I want to make sure we understand is
- 5:44Speaker 1: that the the Big Green Egg is not about just
- 5:48Speaker 1: Bobby quing. And so that's why I want to slow
- 5:52Speaker 1: it down so everybody can understand because it can get
- 5:55Speaker 1: thrown into that Bobby Q club and that not on
- 5:59Speaker 1: the fifty five drum barrel. Drum barrel, that's what they will.
- 6:03Speaker 1: They were there for barbecue, smoking and all that stuff. Okay,
- 6:06Speaker 1: you couldn't fry no eggs on there. You you couldn't
- 6:08Speaker 1: do nothing that. You dropped the links on there, you
- 6:10Speaker 1: dropped the ribs on the dropped the chicken on that.
- 6:12Speaker 1: You put your bobecue beans in the corner, and brother,
- 6:15Speaker 1: you went to work and it's smoke. Now, the Big
- 6:17Speaker 1: Green Egg, that's not the same conversation. Correct, correct, that
- 6:21Speaker 1: is correct. That is correct, And it can be used
- 6:23Speaker 1: for barbecue and smoking, but it's more so the first
- 6:26Speaker 1: fatility of everything you can make inside on your stove
- 6:30Speaker 1: top and your oven, you can make on the Big
- 6:32Speaker 1: Green Egg. And that's one of the few girls that
- 6:34Speaker 1: can say that it can do that right. And so
- 6:37Speaker 1: now my my, my, my senior marketing and activation director.
- 6:40Speaker 1: He lives and dies by the big Green Egg. Or
- 6:44Speaker 1: he he talks a big yeah, he talks a big
- 6:47Speaker 1: story about the Big Green Egg. And so now me, uh,
- 6:51Speaker 1: I want you to I want you to kind of
- 6:53Speaker 1: like admonish me for having it lockdown for six years,
- 6:57Speaker 1: tell me, Rashawn, shame on you. This is what you
- 7:00Speaker 1: should be doing with that beautiful green age and just
- 7:03Speaker 1: sitting under your on your in your house covered up.
- 7:06Speaker 1: So why why why should I why should I unveil
- 7:11Speaker 1: it now? After this book, this beautiful book that I've
- 7:13Speaker 1: read called Egging, there's specifically geared to green egg cookie. Yeah.
- 7:19Speaker 1: With this book right here, all these recipes were made
- 7:22Speaker 1: with the big Green Egg in bondy. Uh. Not to
- 7:24Speaker 1: say you can't use the book as well for any
- 7:26Speaker 1: other kind of girls are smokers. But you know, for me,
- 7:30Speaker 1: after talking to you and kind of taking a brief
- 7:32Speaker 1: look at your social media, I see that you're a foodie.
- 7:34Speaker 1: I see you're a lover of food, and you know,
- 7:38Speaker 1: for you to be a foodie and not use the
- 7:40Speaker 1: Big Green Egg and having out that collecting dust and pollen.
- 7:44Speaker 1: You're doing yourself with this service. But I'm gonna going
- 7:47Speaker 1: and say that real quick. But this book just really
- 7:51Speaker 1: highlights everything from baking to smoking, vegetables, literally everything on
- 7:56Speaker 1: the big green egg and you love bacon. A really
- 7:59Speaker 1: great thing with the green negg is that little smoke
- 8:01Speaker 1: kind of hint. The smokiness adds a kind of a
- 8:03Speaker 1: deep in layer to the cake. So that German chocolate cake,
- 8:07Speaker 1: that Sheat cake, that smoker that grilled that big green
- 8:10Speaker 1: neg is gonna kind of bring it from a good cake.
- 8:12Speaker 1: It's good right now, but it could be fire fire,
- 8:16Speaker 1: two fires. It is better than one, absolutely absolute, that's one.
- 8:20Speaker 1: One comes. We'll be right back with more Money Making
- 8:26Speaker 1: Conversations Masterclass with Rushan McDonald. Now let's return to Money
- 8:32Speaker 1: Making Conversations Masterclass with Rushan McDonald. Now, you have the
- 8:37Speaker 1: word smoking, and then you have you know, do you
- 8:40Speaker 1: have then you fire? What is how do you when
- 8:44Speaker 1: do you use smoke? And when do you use fire
- 8:47Speaker 1: in the process of preparing meals? Okay, yeah, so as
- 8:54Speaker 1: far as you smoke, you could do cold smoke, like
- 8:57Speaker 1: you know for salmon, seafoods, things of that name. You
- 9:00Speaker 1: to kind of you know, where you want a low
- 9:02Speaker 1: and slow smoke and you don't want the smoke to
- 9:04Speaker 1: overpower it. Smoking also comes into play with your briskets,
- 9:08Speaker 1: your ribs. You can smoke chicken, you know, things of
- 9:11Speaker 1: that nature, or if anything, you want to add smoke
- 9:14Speaker 1: to it. But when you have direct fire, which is
- 9:17Speaker 1: direct grilling and indirect grilling, which you're smoking, direct grilling
- 9:20Speaker 1: is more of your high and fast like your steaks,
- 9:23Speaker 1: your chops, bob, stuff of that nature, where you want
- 9:26Speaker 1: that direct heat of flames to kind of kiss it,
- 9:29Speaker 1: just suddenly kiss it. Just get that nice char that
- 9:31Speaker 1: nice grill, that nice brown because color that brown, that's flavor, brother,
- 9:36Speaker 1: and that's what you want. Now, that's as you brought
- 9:38Speaker 1: up steak. Let's slide right on steak shifts. Now I did.
- 9:45Speaker 1: Now I've even steaks many times, David in restaurants and
- 9:49Speaker 1: early on, I used to just drive people crazy by
- 9:52Speaker 1: saying the word well done, get the ugly look well done.
- 9:56Speaker 1: Why did you come in here? Why? Why? Why? Why
- 9:59Speaker 1: you wish your our time burning up a good piece
- 10:01Speaker 1: of meat. Okay, So now I'm a medium guy. I'm
- 10:05Speaker 1: a medium, a medium guy, you know, and I understand
- 10:08Speaker 1: the value of what they were trying to teach me,
- 10:10Speaker 1: but I was thinking to my guns in an early age. Now, yeah,
- 10:15Speaker 1: on the g how do you prepare steak for for
- 10:20Speaker 1: for the big green egg? And how do you serious
- 10:22Speaker 1: the words like seer I hear words like two minutes
- 10:25Speaker 1: on this side, two minutes on the other side. Talk
- 10:28Speaker 1: to us about the whole preparation. Since you are represented
- 10:31Speaker 1: Omahara Steaks, talk to us with the magic yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Essentially,
- 10:37Speaker 1: So first off, you want to kind of notice the
- 10:38Speaker 1: basics of the composition and DNA, so to speak, other steak.
- 10:43Speaker 1: What a steak is, you know, So a steak is essentially,
- 10:45Speaker 1: you know, it's cut from different primal cuts of the
- 10:48Speaker 1: steak and it's sliced into, you know, the muscle. So
- 10:51Speaker 1: essentially the steak is the muscle and then the white
- 10:54Speaker 1: that's in between the muscle, that's the intermuscular fat, and
- 10:58Speaker 1: that's the good fat. That's the fact that knelts inside
- 11:01Speaker 1: of the steak gives that nice juiciness and mouth water
- 11:04Speaker 1: ring mouthfield, which we all love and look for in steak.
- 11:07Speaker 1: So a couple of first things before you even get
- 11:10Speaker 1: that steak on the grill in that cast iron fan. Um.
- 11:13Speaker 1: A lot of core mistakes people make is you want
- 11:16Speaker 1: to bring that steak to room temperature, because you gotta remember,
- 11:20Speaker 1: a calm steak is essentially a cold muscle. And what
- 11:24Speaker 1: cold muscles do is, uh, they take a while to
- 11:27Speaker 1: you know, to warm up, and they remain tense. And
- 11:30Speaker 1: if you want to go in and put that steak
- 11:32Speaker 1: on the grill cold, it's gonna have inconsistencies and it's
- 11:35Speaker 1: not gonna get that nice chart and cook for that
- 11:37Speaker 1: perfect temperature you want. So always put the steak out
- 11:40Speaker 1: for at least thirty minutes when it come to room temperature. Second,
- 11:44Speaker 1: steaks take seasoning very well, salt, pepper. That is a
- 11:49Speaker 1: great basis right there. A lot of times, you know,
- 11:52Speaker 1: with Omaha steaks, the quality of the steak is so great,
- 11:54Speaker 1: it just needs salt and pepper. But feel free to
- 11:56Speaker 1: add make your own rubs, your own seasonings, get crazy,
- 12:00Speaker 1: get creative, do your thing. Now. When it comes to
- 12:03Speaker 1: the grilling process, there's a couple of different ways to
- 12:06Speaker 1: grill and cook up your steak. You can do direct grilling,
- 12:09Speaker 1: where from start to finish you finish it. And you
- 12:12Speaker 1: started and finish it on direct teeth, that's over the flames.
- 12:16Speaker 1: That's one way I'd recommend those for your thinner cuts
- 12:19Speaker 1: of meats, like your flanks. Your skirts were essentially something
- 12:23Speaker 1: like that. For a nice medium or a medium, you're
- 12:25Speaker 1: doing three to four minutes on each side. But now
- 12:28Speaker 1: you have your bad namajammas, like your poor draps, you
- 12:31Speaker 1: have your rib eyes, you have your tomahawk bone in shops,
- 12:34Speaker 1: those right there, you kind of want to approach those
- 12:37Speaker 1: differently because you want to have that fat render down
- 12:40Speaker 1: and get nice and chewy, and you know, just kind
- 12:43Speaker 1: of get really really nice to that desired temperature and
- 12:45Speaker 1: what you want because the last thing you want to
- 12:47Speaker 1: do is cook a steak and you have grizzly, hard fat.
- 12:50Speaker 1: That's not pleasant. Nobody wants that. So for I recommend
- 12:54Speaker 1: with that particular process right there is I consider that
- 12:58Speaker 1: with the reverse searing process. So what you do is
- 13:01Speaker 1: you start out indirect, so that plate center that comes
- 13:04Speaker 1: in there, you have that in there. You do that
- 13:06Speaker 1: too fifty two fifty low and slow, and you let
- 13:10Speaker 1: that come about ten degrees below your desired temperature. So
- 13:13Speaker 1: you said you're a medium, man, medium is one forty five.
- 13:16Speaker 1: So you let that steak go to the reaches one
- 13:19Speaker 1: thirty five. You take the steak off, you remove that
- 13:22Speaker 1: plate center, you crank it up to direct key, direct
- 13:26Speaker 1: flames about five to five fifty. Essentially, at that point,
- 13:30Speaker 1: the steak is already at that temperature that you want,
- 13:33Speaker 1: but ten degrees shot. So by you getting that hard
- 13:36Speaker 1: fast yere on there, it's gonna raise five degrees five
- 13:39Speaker 1: to eight degrees. Then you want to always let your
- 13:41Speaker 1: steak rest. By letting your steak rest, you're letting the
- 13:44Speaker 1: chill out. You don't cut into it, you don't touch it,
- 13:47Speaker 1: you don't eat it. It's gonna allow those juices to
- 13:49Speaker 1: redistribute and stay inside the steak where it belongs. Because
- 13:53Speaker 1: the last thing you want to do is to cut
- 13:54Speaker 1: into any roast, any um large turkey or a chicken
- 13:58Speaker 1: or poultry hurt because I'm gonna lose all of juice.
- 14:03Speaker 1: Rest perfect one medium. Every single time, repeat that one
- 14:12Speaker 1: more time. You said the one thing you don't want
- 14:14Speaker 1: to do is cut into because you broke up a
- 14:16Speaker 1: little bit. I want to make sure we get that.
- 14:17Speaker 1: That was on the point you was talking about. Because me,
- 14:20Speaker 1: I'm a guy who wants the steak to be warm.
- 14:22Speaker 1: When I cut into I see smoke. You don't want
- 14:24Speaker 1: to do that, right, Well, what you can do actually,
- 14:28Speaker 1: if you're if you're sitting at home and you're dining
- 14:31Speaker 1: at home, you definitely want to let it rest. Even
- 14:34Speaker 1: in steak restaurants they let it rest as well, they're
- 14:37Speaker 1: keeping it warm. But yeah, but a lot of times,
- 14:40Speaker 1: you know, especially if you're making a lot of steaks
- 14:42Speaker 1: for roast, you want to always let it rest because
- 14:45Speaker 1: that's gonna allow the juices to stay in there inside
- 14:48Speaker 1: of the meat where it belongs. Okay, cool, Chief Davis Rose,
- 14:51Speaker 1: I'm talking to him. One of the great stars and
- 14:53Speaker 1: TV great personality. You've seen them on national talk shows,
- 14:56Speaker 1: Good Morning America, all these types of shows, all the
- 14:59Speaker 1: all the Food channel type shows, formal Food Network star.
- 15:03Speaker 1: Well guess what he is a Food Network star. You
- 15:05Speaker 1: don't lose something that your great power. Okay, It's like
- 15:07Speaker 1: I will always have a degree in math. Okay, Now
- 15:10Speaker 1: let's talk about before working into the book again, let's
- 15:12Speaker 1: talk about your your your food training, your culinary history.
- 15:16Speaker 1: How did we I know both your parents were chef.
- 15:18Speaker 1: Was without a natural path for you or did you
- 15:21Speaker 1: have another journey. You wanted to play with the sports
- 15:23Speaker 1: and you went back to chelf being a chef as
- 15:26Speaker 1: a career opportunity to talk about that, and then we
- 15:28Speaker 1: won't get back to the egging the book about cooking
- 15:31Speaker 1: on the victory and egg. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's funny.
- 15:34Speaker 1: We have a lot of parallels. It's fun blood you
- 15:39Speaker 1: become a big friend, a big family. I come from
- 15:42Speaker 1: a big family. I'm one of eight. I'm the baby
- 15:45Speaker 1: and my mama's the hurritein as one of time huge,
- 15:50Speaker 1: huge Jamaican family. Literally everybody was born in Jamaica except
- 15:55Speaker 1: for me. Um so mama's a chef, dad was a chef.
- 15:59Speaker 1: But everybody in my family, even though they weren't classically
- 16:02Speaker 1: trained or was their career. Everybody can burn, everybody can cook,
- 16:06Speaker 1: everybody can cook their tail off, so there's always being
- 16:09Speaker 1: around that. Some of my fondest memories were about great food.
- 16:12Speaker 1: So I've always been in the hospitality. For my first job,
- 16:16Speaker 1: I was thirteen years old. I was a room service
- 16:19Speaker 1: attendant for the Radison Hotel and Inglewood, New Jersey, and
- 16:22Speaker 1: from from there I served. I bar attended. My bar
- 16:27Speaker 1: backed literally every position in front of the house, I
- 16:31Speaker 1: moved down to Atlanta. I'm bartending at the time when
- 16:33Speaker 1: I was twenty one, back in oh three, and from there,
- 16:37Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out, Okay, what's my next step,
- 16:39Speaker 1: what's my next move? And I see a commercial and
- 16:42Speaker 1: the commercial says, as clear as day the Cordon blue
- 16:46Speaker 1: realized you're colinary dream and you know, something just kind
- 16:49Speaker 1: of snapped, something that's kind of registered in my head.
- 16:52Speaker 1: I said, you know what, I love to cook. I've
- 16:53Speaker 1: always cooked, I've done everything in hospitality. Um, let's give
- 16:57Speaker 1: it a try. So I went. I visit in the
- 17:00Speaker 1: campus and you know, like in the cartoons, those old
- 17:03Speaker 1: school Looney two cartoons with the lightbulb goes off, it
- 17:06Speaker 1: was a lightbulb moment where I looked at the itinerary,
- 17:09Speaker 1: look at the syllabus, took a tour, and I just
- 17:11Speaker 1: knew that's where I was meant to be. And prior
- 17:15Speaker 1: to that, you know, the words scholar and David Roseworth
- 17:18Speaker 1: seldom I'm lying, not sell them, never used in the
- 17:22Speaker 1: same sentence. But I graduated top of my class, Summa
- 17:25Speaker 1: kum laude. And then from there the trajectory just was fast,
- 17:29Speaker 1: quick and in a hurry, and having been looking back since,
- 17:32Speaker 1: we'll be right back with more Money Making Conversations Masterclass
- 17:35Speaker 1: with Rushan McDonald. Now, let's return to Money Making Conversations
- 17:41Speaker 1: Masterclass with Rushan McDonald. Well, first of all, man academia
- 17:46Speaker 1: has been us a good to you, a matching personality
- 17:51Speaker 1: because when you old, TV personality plays a role and
- 17:54Speaker 1: also simplicity, you know, you know, because the thing that
- 17:58Speaker 1: I think that the major thing I've enjoyed about seeing
- 18:01Speaker 1: the evolution of TV cooking or TV preparation is that
- 18:06Speaker 1: it doesn't look difficult anymore because a lot of everyday
- 18:09Speaker 1: people are doing it on social media, YouTube, TikTok and
- 18:12Speaker 1: all that. Your book, your recipes are very simple, you know,
- 18:16Speaker 1: I don't get caught up into the you know, the
- 18:18Speaker 1: tea spoon and the quarter cup and all that can
- 18:22Speaker 1: really just bog you down. To go that looks more
- 18:25Speaker 1: like science than cooking. Tell us how the whole process
- 18:30Speaker 1: you went about, not so much dumbiness down to the
- 18:33Speaker 1: everyday person like me, but putting together a fun cookbook
- 18:36Speaker 1: that you call eggy. Yeah for sure, you know again,
- 18:40Speaker 1: you know, big green agg aggain. You know it's kind
- 18:43Speaker 1: of the informal already using they're using the big green eggs.
- 18:46Speaker 1: So I wanted to make it a casual, smooth approach.
- 18:49Speaker 1: When you look at a book called eggaant looks fun,
- 18:52Speaker 1: it looks excited, and it draws you in immediately. This
- 18:55Speaker 1: based off the title, and I wanted a very approachable title.
- 18:58Speaker 1: That was very important me. And you know a lot
- 19:01Speaker 1: of people are intimidated by cooking and intimidated by grilling
- 19:05Speaker 1: because the last thing you want to do is body's
- 19:08Speaker 1: big old steaks and over a three hundred dollars and
- 19:11Speaker 1: ribs and brisket, and be that person at the cook out.
- 19:14Speaker 1: Everybody looking at you, he messed up the ribs, fmu
- 19:17Speaker 1: the brisket. Nobody wants that. But I think this book
- 19:20Speaker 1: right here, this book is the play the quintessential playbook
- 19:24Speaker 1: for everything grilling, especially with big green eggs. How to
- 19:27Speaker 1: light it, how to keep the temperature, cooking temperatures, cooking donness,
- 19:33Speaker 1: grill maintenance. Where if you have never used the big
- 19:36Speaker 1: green negg, never heard the word big green negg in
- 19:38Speaker 1: your entire life, and you see this book, you read
- 19:41Speaker 1: this book, I guarantee by the time you are done
- 19:44Speaker 1: reading it, you're self sufficient and you can be a
- 19:47Speaker 1: grill inficionado, and I have the knowledge to know what
- 19:51Speaker 1: you can make because the preparations, the sauces, the marinades.
- 19:56Speaker 1: Just because it's for chicken, you can easily take that
- 19:58Speaker 1: and apply that to And the great thing about cooking
- 20:03Speaker 1: is this, right here is the blueprint. You take this blueprint,
- 20:06Speaker 1: you make it yours. You add your own flavor as
- 20:08Speaker 1: your own twist, and just you know, put your put
- 20:11Speaker 1: your synatra on that. And that's the great thing about cooking. Options,
- 20:15Speaker 1: endless opportunities for your player. Yes, I'm speaking interviewing chef
- 20:19Speaker 1: David Rose his book Egging David Rose Cooks on the
- 20:22Speaker 1: Big Green Egg. Um My, my fans are always wanted
- 20:26Speaker 1: to what I like about the book? What recipe stood out.
- 20:29Speaker 1: I'm from the South. Everybody you know that Houston, Texas
- 20:32Speaker 1: going to bread in the inner City, So that means
- 20:34Speaker 1: that I've had experiences for a certain type of meal
- 20:37Speaker 1: all my life. In this book, he talks about making
- 20:39Speaker 1: oxtails on the Big Green. Now, you know that's the
- 20:44Speaker 1: first I had to you know, I had to bring
- 20:45Speaker 1: that up on this show, David oxtails on the Big Green.
- 20:49Speaker 1: If that ain't a Southern delicacy. If that don't make
- 20:52Speaker 1: black people go, let's see if they falls off the bone.
- 20:56Speaker 1: Let's let's see when you're when you're put in your mouth,
- 20:59Speaker 1: do you just suck on the beat? Is that the
- 21:01Speaker 1: type of ye oxtail we're getting off the big green eggs, sir?
- 21:06Speaker 1: If you want to have a little bit of integrity
- 21:08Speaker 1: to where it's still on the bone, it's not disintegrating,
- 21:11Speaker 1: but that's when it falls apart in your mouth. That's
- 21:14Speaker 1: the secret right there, because you want to have you know,
- 21:16Speaker 1: ox tails, not pulled oxtails. You know. So it's delicious,
- 21:21Speaker 1: it's great, and you know Jamaicans love oxtail as well,
- 21:25Speaker 1: so we share that very you know, very you know
- 21:28Speaker 1: similar uh situation as well, you know where essentially it
- 21:31Speaker 1: came out of necessity as being you know, slaves and
- 21:34Speaker 1: not getting me the prime cuts and just us being
- 21:38Speaker 1: the culinary magicians that black people are. The culture. We
- 21:41Speaker 1: take anything you know, from the pig foot to the tripe,
- 21:46Speaker 1: deliver and make it delicious and make it singing oxtails.
- 21:49Speaker 1: No different to where now mainstream restaurants are now carrying it.
- 21:54Speaker 1: Boxtels which used to be cheap, I still expensive that
- 21:59Speaker 1: I really think that's the credit to us. Well, I'll
- 22:02Speaker 1: just tell you right now, you know that with cheap
- 22:03Speaker 1: because black people eating it, you know what I'm saying.
- 22:05Speaker 1: We had to. We had a budget and we ate
- 22:07Speaker 1: it within our budget. And it was an explicive way
- 22:09Speaker 1: back when I was growing up. I've never known my
- 22:11Speaker 1: ox tail and you know, you know you you you
- 22:14Speaker 1: should make it. So you know over in Jamaica oxtail.
- 22:18Speaker 1: If you can't make oxtails over they probably run you
- 22:20Speaker 1: off the island. Okay, so you know it had to
- 22:22Speaker 1: be cheap over that part right right there. Everybody know,
- 22:27Speaker 1: come on, not David Rose. Everybody know I love desserts. Okay.
- 22:32Speaker 1: Now I do a great padding label Pacan Pie. You know,
- 22:35Speaker 1: I go to a book that's my girl. I support.
- 22:38Speaker 1: I would support everybody's brand. So pad LaBelle, that's the
- 22:41Speaker 1: recipe I do it. But corn pope. Now you got
- 22:44Speaker 1: a Bourbon ginger, but pumpercn that you do on the
- 22:49Speaker 1: Big Green Egg. Talk to us about that, brother. Alright.
- 22:53Speaker 1: So everybody in the they have their own recipe for
- 22:56Speaker 1: the compost. So what I want to do is make
- 22:58Speaker 1: my own recipe, you know, to kind of you know,
- 23:01Speaker 1: really honor the Southern Peak can pie because my first
- 23:03Speaker 1: experience and the Peak cat five. Everyone's in the stock,
- 23:06Speaker 1: so I gotta says the stop, but you gotta make
- 23:08Speaker 1: it difference. So what goes good at the smokiness Bourbon
- 23:11Speaker 1: because bourbon is smoked, Bourbon is age and ginger because
- 23:15Speaker 1: Jamaica we put ginger into everything. And brother, one of
- 23:19Speaker 1: the best recipes you will ever taste Forget to smack
- 23:23Speaker 1: your mom. You're gonna smack yourself and so good. One
- 23:26Speaker 1: of my clients is a chef Rogers. She owned she

- 24:23Speaker 1: to get clarity on that you've given the people who
- 24:25Speaker 1: are listening and watching this interview is that the Big
- 24:28Speaker 1: Green Egg is more than just a barbecue pit or
- 24:31Speaker 1: smoker for meats. You can use it as an extension
