@matt @Oaktavia @SKT Not sure if you guys have ever heard of eating the Enemy. SO this weekend Ravens Fans should be eating KC BBQ,and I guess Chiefs Fans should be eating MD Crabs. Probably easier for you guys to get KC Que,than us to get MD Crabs. Anything else you can think of that would specific to Baltimore?
-
@Jett129 haha I have not heard of this and find it funny. I have also never tried KC Que...what is it like? Sweet?
Bmore staples are for sure steamed MD blue crabs or crab cakes (straight crabs and Old Bay with apple cider vinegar is best imo) or fresh/raw/toasted Chesapeake Bay oysters.
Drink Natty Boh or some fancy pants Baltimore beer like DuClaw or Union Craft with it.
Add a Smith Island cake and you're all set.
Some of these you would need to travel to Maryland to find though...hmm...

What about pit beef @Oaktavia ?
KC BBQ has those molasses based sauces that are too sweet for me. Brisket burnt ends are a favorite of that style for me, though I prefer them to be unsauced. (Sacrilege to a Texan, but Carolina style vinegar sauces and mustard sauces pair really well with brisket IMO. People tend to associate those with pork but especially mustard is very commonly and successfully paired with beef elsewhere and it works for brisket too.)
-
@mclaincausey I'm not huge into pit beef and I don't really fuck with it. But that is a good point! I just think of seafood and MD usually but that's a family thing for me.
I figured it might be a sweet sauce for KC. I prefer vinegar based sauces down in NC the best!
-
@Oaktavia KC BBQ is my favorite,but I think really good Que doesn’t need sauce. Me least favorite is Carolina as I don’t like vinegar and BBQ. KC,in my opinion, has a little more wiggle room in the spice rubs whereas in Texas it’s pretty much Salt and Pepper. Regardless of what we’re eating hope it’s a great game. This is Lamar’s time. Will Mahomes spoil it?
-
@Oaktavia damn all this crab and oyster talk is making me hungry!
@Jett129 when I was younger it was always between Gate’s and Arthur Bryant’s bbq in kc. I liked Arthur Bryant’s. We took the kids up last year and had Q39 and it was fantastic…had a burnt end burger that was great.
Gonna look for some Baltimore crab this weekend!
-
Q39 is so good @SKT !! My KC pal took me there and I was impressed. Nice to be able to grab a decent cocktail.
Texans are way too anal about their little hobbies. Dalmatian rub makes for a wonderful brisket, but on the competition circuit you usually see a few more spices incorporated. I get keeping things simple and trying to get as much flavor as you can, but once you’ve got your technique down it makes perfect sense to experiment a bit—be scientific and control your variables, don’t change too many things at once. Yeah you don’t “need” a sauce, but you don’t “need” au poivre or Demi glacé with a steak either—but it can be good.
That said, when I’m making chili con carne, I don’t add adulterants like beans and tomatoes. I just don’t make a big deal about it or judge others for doing so
calm down, Texas.To get back on topic, Ravens 31, KC 28

@mclaincausey Love it, Never heard it called Dalmation Rub before. We have the same Only Change One Thing motto. I would love to get some oysters,but will probably do crab cakes,and maybe something with Old Bay Seasoning. To win this game The Chiefs need to play absolutely mistake free football,and Lamar has to have a really,really bad day.

Lamar’s pass to himself was fucking awesome

-
Romo is god awful.
By no means over, but Flowers really put his team in a tough position with that sequence of taunting while down 10 points based on an offensive flop of a performance, fumbling when unnecessarily trying to score with a ball extension when he already had a first down, then injuring himself lashing out at an inanimate object. A series of colossal fuckups.

@Mizmazzle said in American Football (NFL):
Anyone else wish Romo would shut the fuck up?
Yes please! -
Balt d showed up wheres the o?
