No Reservations – Part 2

I previously posted about the Food Network’s “stars”…Alton Brown, Rachel Ray, Bobby Flay.   What I meant to say was much better (did I say MUCH better) summed up in Bourdain’s blog about his relationship with the Food Network.

That is a blog!

And if you think about…doesn’t “success” have a way of spoiling of things?

No Reservations

There is NO QUESTION about it.  The best food and travel show on TV is Anthony Bourdain’s, No Reservations.

Funny and informative.  Last night’s show, set in Singapore, had me dreaming about food.  The simple chicken and rice dish looked terrific.  Especially the condiments: packed with chile, garlic, soy sauce…

Seeing a horseshoe crab being grilled over an open fire was especially awesome.

My grill-cam has been  in the case the last few weeks.  Weather in Michigan is a bit on the nasty side (no excuse, I know) but I did grill some pork in the Bahamas that was terrific.

Here is what I did.  Took a full pork loin and cut it into 1″ steaks.  Soaked this in olive oil, a little garlic and lime juice for about 3 hours.

Got the coals hot in an open grill pit.  Seasoned the meat with the a commercial blend, Cavenders Greek Seasoning.  Really sensational.

http://www.greekseasoning.com/We grilled this for about 30-45 minutes, turning often and squeezing fresh lime juice on the meats every so often.  I don’t know if it was the Kalik’s, but it was the best dang pork I ever ate!
