Yesterday we busted out our grilling skills to create a burger worthy of a Pittsburgh sized appetite.  But as we turn our attention to Arizona for the second half of our Super Bowl feature, we’ll be shifting our culinary skills in a different direction to bring you the Anquan BREAD BOWL-din SOUP.  Okay, if you’re a BBQ lover then a cup of soup may not be your cup of tea.  Well, what if I told you this soup was actually a thick and hearty chowder?!?!  Still not convinced huh…did I mention this chowder’s main ingredients are flame grilled corn cobs and smoke roasted chicken breasts?  Yeah, I thought that would get your attention!

It’s taken a full week, but I’ve finally managed to dig myself out from under the mountain of hate mail I received from posting a vegetable recipe on our BBQ site. Well, we’ve heard your complaints and now we’re firing back with a Super Bowl themed recipe that’s sure to satisfy your carnivorous tendencies.

When Ben Roethlisberger burst onto the NFL scene in his rookie season, local Pittsburgh restaurant Peppi’s Old Tyme Sandwich Shop anointed him with the highest honor a young athlete can receive…his own personal sandwich.  By pulling inspiration from Big Ben’s physical prowess and on-field abilities, the guys at Peppi’s came up with a unique blend of beef, sausage, eggs, cheese and onions to represent their young stud.  Here we are a few years later and Mr. Roethlisberger has once again led his team into the biggest game of the year.  To honor their accomplishment, we’re paying tribute to the Steel Curtain by constructing this new found Pittsburgh classic…with a few slight modifications!

Every year around the holidays my family gets together for some warm holiday cheer, cold adult beverages, and a touch of innocent gambling.   I know that sounds worse than it actually is, but the truth of the matter is that board games just lose their luster over the years.  The only true way to keep game night fun and fresh is to lay a few bucks on the line and make Grandma earn her keep. 

Left, Right, Center has been a yuletide staple for many years now, but this go around we added a new “dice” game to the lineup.  Okay, right about now you’re probably asking yourself “What the hell does this have to do with barbecue?” Well my friend, this game has all the thrills of a back alley craps circle, but instead of using those grimey white cubes, you’ll be tossing tiny delicious little piggies.  Yes, that’s right….Pig Craps.  Actually the manufacturer given name is Pass the Pigs, but who could pass up an opportunity to play a modified version called Pigs Craps while your pig butt is slow smoking to perfection in your backyard cooker.  Did we forget to mention that these dirty little piggies often find themselves in compromising postions?!?!
