On Three Kitchens Podcast this week, Heather and Erin continue the barbecue theme with guest, Avery Cochrane. Avery is a certified Kansas City Barbeque Society (KCBS) competition judge. He gives us a behind-the-scenes look at what judges are looking for when they taste all that delicious BBQ!
KCBS is one of the sanctioning bodies of BBQ competitions all over the world, including in Alberta. Avery's culinary training may give him some insight into preparation of the food he's judging, but it's not a requirement to become a judge. See the link below for more information if you're interested in judging BBQ in areas where KCBS holds competitions.
Ribs are on the menu this week! Avery shared with us his favourite spice blend for BBQ ribs, and gave us some tips for cooking BBQ at home (injecting peach juice into pork butt?). Because she doesn't own a smoker, Erin made ribs in her oven. They were fantastic, so don't rule this out - if you don't have a smoker or even a BBQ, you can still make delicious ribs!
She also made a skillet cornbread because we think it's just one of those perfect sides to serve with any BBQ. The recipes are all linked below.
Be sure to check out Avery and his wife Lena on their new podcast, 90s Tunes! They're going down memory lane with some of their favourite 90s albums.
