on the grill feature
It all started with a simple love of food, wine, fun and cooking, and blossomed into a maddening pursuit of... more>

Philosophy continued...
the best recipes, the best wines, the best times that could be had reasonably. Obviously "reasonably" is a relative term, but to us it meant within sane budgets and grasp of our limited knowledge. So, the Bobby Flay (we like him too) recipe that calls for eye of noot (ground, not flaked) and requires years of clean up would be exposed for what it was: good tv. And those adventures that could be had by us hapless middle-class, middle-aged goofballs would be fun for readers seeking some culinary delights as well.

Feel free to send us comments on our stuff, or things you've found. You can always add to the fun on our SaucyJoes Blog. We want this to be a more communal web place.And, at the risk of sounding like PBS (CALL NOW!), as you click through SaucyJoes, take a minute to visit some of our sponsors, which will help us with this labor of love. If we get filthy rich, the wine's on us.

And I Quote...
We went surfing the other night to find interesting BBQ quotes. Rots-a-ruck on this trip we thought. Surprisingly, we found a few, added in some good general food and wine quips and mixed em here with some of our own. Enjoy!

"Always marinate your guests first."
George Westby

"Lunch is a many splendored thing."
Ski SullivanWeber tongs

"Tongs for the memories."
Saucy Joe Sullivan

"It is better to have burnt and lost, then never to have barbecued at all" William Shakespeare as skewered by Laura Brown

"We eat everything but the squeal"
Unknown

“Large, naked, raw carrots are acceptable as food only to those who live in hutches eagerly awaiting Easter.”
Fran Lebowitz

“Life expectancy would grow by leaps and bounds if green vegetables smelled as good as bacon.”
Doug Larson

“I'm at the age where food has taken the place of sex in my life. In fact, I've just had a mirror put over my kitchen table."
Rodney Dangerfield

"I'm a man.  Men cook outside. Women make the three-bean salad. That's the way it is and always has been, since the first settlers of Levittown. That outdoor grilling is a manly pursuit has long been beyond question. If this wasn't firmly understood, you'd never get grown men to put on those aprons with pictures of dancing wienies and things on the front..."
William Geist

“Grilling, broiling, barbecuing - whatever you want to call it - is an art, not just a matter of building a pyre and throwing on a piece of meat as a sacrifice to the gods of the stomach.”
James Beard

"For a gourmet wine is not a drink but a condiment, provided that your host has chosen correctly."
Edouard De Pomaine

"A gourmet who thinks of calories is like a tart who looks at her watch."
James Beard
