What's On Your Plate???

[kronin323]

On Saturday I smoked a pork belly. Picked one up from the local Asian supermarket, they literally had just carved it off some whole pig carcasses behind the counter that'd just come in. So, pretty fresh.

Brined it overnight with the skin sticking out of the brine to air-dry. The white part along some of the edges is the skin's original color where it was submerged in the brine, the darker color on the rest is the result of the air drying...

Then poured a salt cap on top...

Which turns into a crust that's easy to remove when it's done...

What the underside looked like...

Carved...

And we made some pork belly sliders... Delicious!

The Texan Burger

Sounded good, but quite possibly the most uninspiring burger I have ever eaten...no pop, no bite, no flavor, no nothing...

Got it from the deli we have downstairs at work...

From a dumb deli called Citrus Kitchen that is attached to our main building...

It was like eating unseasoned meat and bread...

I was appalled that I had just eaten the worst burger in the state of Texas for the last 100 years...

Uughghgh - found out why my burger tasted like I was chewing on a sandal...

I guess the whole idea behind Citrus Kitchen is to use natural ingredients and to try to cut out all the bad stuff like GMO's or whatever...

Burger was gross...never again, Citrus Kitchen...
