Timmy B's Test Kitchen

A few of us are getting together to compete on the 29th and 30th in Hempstead.., but this is much more than just a cookoff. We’re coming together in the best way we know how to raise some money for our fellow Texans.
My thought? I’d love to walk up to check-in on that Friday, or at awards on Saturday, and hand Dustin an envelope full of cash, or a check, that goes straight to these families of this tragedy. From my perspective, that would be more rewarding than any trophy, check, or buckle for cooking food.
If any “Friends of Timmy B’s Test Kitchen” would like to contribute, you have my eternal gratitude.
You can Venmo me, if you’d like (easier to keep track of it all): -Brouillette
Goal here is to just add some extra to what The Barbecue Store will be ultimately donating.
Thanks in advance for helping us make a difference.

FIREDISC Friday!
Going to start with some crawfish eggrolls and some breaded jalapeno popper bites, then move on to some Bang Bang Shrimp for dinner…
Yacht Rock filling the patio and backyard, and The Banquet Beer is ice cold and so tasty.
Have a great weekend, y’all!
Get outside and cook something this weekend!!!!!

So… since last August, when I had the distinct honor and pleasure of meeting Heath Riles in Key West, I’ve been on a mission. This guy is hands down the best of the best, as far as ribs go… it’s science. He also may be the best in the sauce and rub game… Fast-forward, he and his crew joined us for HLSR Cookoff in February, and I got to get in the weeds with him and his guys. Mind-blowing experience… Mitchell Bedwell and Shane Smith LeClair, along with Heath, are as good as gold. The knowledge they’ve shared, has started me in a different direction, as far as competition meats go… good things are on the horizon… Gentlemen, I thank you for your guidance and your friendship. Muchos gracias from this ol’ boy from South TX.

And when you need something to step your bbq game up, start your search with Heath Riles BBQ

Personal note… the Garlic Jalapeno Rub may be the single-greatest seasoning I’ve ever had the pleasure of tasting and using. The most versatile rub I’ve ever seen! Get some, then get some more!

The calm before the storm…
