Cardiologist Dream

[Stu Clary]

So my elderly aunt got her regular shipment from the Omaha Meat Company and, in return for helping her unpack and store everything, she gave us an 8-pack of OMC "gourmet" hot dogs.  I'm sure the only thing gourmet about them is the price, but who am I to look a gift in the mouth?  They sat in the refrigerator a few days, decided to go ahead and grill 'em up today....but just grill "gourmet" hot dogs?  I think not. 

I just happened to have a hunk of pork jowl at the house (yeah.  We don't have your average ordinary house.  We have stuff like pork jowl here, but I digress). 


Anyway, I took the opportunity to kill two birds with one stone.   I sliced to jowl into bacon strips


Wrapped the gourmet dogs, fastening with tooth picks


Put 'em on the grill, indirect, over beer.


After about half hour or so I flipped them and pulled out the tooth picks.  I pulled them off the grill about 10 minutes later.


I like using Kings Hawaiian Rolls for buns.  I pull two, still connected, and crisp 'em a bit over the hot coals and slice down the middle.  Here's my gourmet dog w/pork jowl on Kings Hawaiian with relish & sauerkraut.

I used to get guanciale on a pizza but I can't remember where.  It had to be at one of the many "artisan" pizza around here.  So good in a starting-to-ferment kind of way.  Like bacon that hasn't showered in a couple days.

Yummy, I would throw a few shots of Tabasco on there and I would be in heaven.

Oh yea that works!

We have stuff like pork jowl here

I like that.  Me and you could perhaps get on quite well if we ever met.  As per the food combo - Worthy I say.

Looks damn tasty Stu.

[Stu Clary]

Thanks guys.   

BTW, mirkwood, I was in your town today, at Recreation Park for the college league baseball tournament.  If you got time on your hands and wanna say hi tomorrow, my kid's team plays at 9:00am.  I'll be one of the few (and uglier) people in the stands, rooting for the Solano Mudcats.
