Joe...pay the $25+ for a tshirt or don't, but enough already with how expensive you think it costs. We get it. You are cheap. Most of us aren't cheap and will gladly shell out that much for a quality tshirt.
I'm pretty sure not buying a 25 dollar t-shirt that you can't dry is not called cheap. It's called common sense.
I buy more expensive Polo style shirts that I generally don't put in the dryer already. If I do dry them it's on delicate. I am not seeing the big deal here.

I'll stress again, and then drop it.

If you normally dry your Tshirts and are happy with the outcome you can dry this shirt. There is nothing about the shirt that makes it unable to be put in a dryer. I personally prefer to not dry my nicer shirts so they don't look like dog#### after a year. That is personal preference. This is not a no-dry shirt.

Now that we've got that out of the way... let's get back to BBQ. Tipsy, how did the first round of smoked Jambalaya come out?

. Rationalize your cheapness any way you want, but you sound like a woman.
:lmao:

People in here are discussing buying $25 BBQ shirts and how nice they are and how to care for them by not drying them and I sound like a woman.

Good stuff.

I'll just keep buying http://www.fuzzysstuff.com/I-Heart-Tacos-Tee_p_282.html and not worrying about how to dry them.

 
can we look into adding dry-clean only tshirts? Price point around $50 sounds right. TIA.

Seriously, the past few pages have been like the parts in the Cinemax movies where the c-list porn castaways try to act and there is no T&A. This is a BBQ thread. It's middle aged married man porn-lite. Stop talking about useless crap and get back to the succulent ribs and slow cooked goodness. Kthanksbye.

 
Tipsy - Do Hatch green chiles every make it out your way? Started seeing them this past weekend and I love working them into anything and everything I can when they're in season. Might be worth some experimenting with some season variation for your beans or mac n cheese if you have a connection for them.
You have my attention. :popcorn:
Looks like they can order online if your local grocer doesn't have them (They made it up to Seattle). Haven't shopped around online but looked at one place and it was stupid expensive (more than $8/lb) when they should run under $2/lb.

I am putting my t-shirt in the dryer. If I have to buy a new shirt once every few years, well, I'm an FBG. I'll manage.

I'll check local markets first. Appreciate the heads up!

Lmao at this. I ask a question about why the restaurant keeps running out of food and if that's normal, and I'm now "crapping all over it"?

Sorry, drone.

Cinnamon O is probably grouchy hearing about all the great food and knowing how hungry he is from skipping lunch and Cinnamon JT is like my boys, they are funny (he's not quite there), but they are too young to know when to stop.

You asked about 50 times why the barbecue guy doesn't just go grill more food. You were being serious during all of that?

Thanks again for all the help with the t-shirts Icon....Icon & his lady friend are stuffing baggies of my product for you guys this weekend. Enjoy the rub...and know that was born as a Meat Seasoning, not just a rub. I use a little in 95% of all my cooking...as do most kitchens doing it right in this city. We learned how to season meat out of necessity back in the day (think of meat/ summer/ no ice or fridge/). I changed a couple of things to make it more of a bbq rub...but it has no salt, no pepper, and no sugar. Add those things as you like and this base rub is good on everything....although a little much for seafood.

Business is still very good, but it leveled off this past few shifts. I'm lucky to have any biz this time of year with the heat/ school bills/ and summer vacation bills coming due. Traditionally we always had to hit the credit line during August & September to keep the doors open.

Family style is done. This place is too small for it. I will break it out occasionally for whole pig night or private events.

I have one day of wood left from 2 cords delivered about 3 weeks ago. Ouch.

Got my permanent occupational license from the city yesterday....the appeal by my neighbors to have my biz shut down is over as far as the city is concerned.

Introduced barbecue jambalaya as a side to replace my potato salad....it wasn't winning any friends. I'll introduce a new one soon...maybe even lyonnaise style pots (fried ovals with onions). Maybe bacon & blue cheese potato salad possibly.

Honestly the things that go on here. People get concerned with crime (and actually I don't know if you knew the lady who used to own the muffin shop at that location a while back...) and yet they have opposition to businesses, usually bars and music and food related, which would generate positive attraction to the neighborhood and increase property values and improve foot traffic and everything like that. We need busineses like yours on almost every corner, it would help. I'm glad you've persevered through all the hassle, it's good for you but also for the city.

 
Ray/Super: full ecommerce shopping cart based site will be online in next few business days. First ~75 orders will get two small pouches of tipsys rub in with the shirt order. Ill post the link prominently as soon as its live.

Potato salad wasnt working? WTH is wrong with people in NO? Potato salad is a must with BBQ, IMO...Not sure if bacon/bleu would go over well, but german style with bacon probably would...What are fried ovals?

Good news. Obviously too soon to think about, but if August/September are really, really slow, any thoughts to closing down for a bit? Since you just opened, you should be busy enough this year. I grew up in CT and my favorite pizza place (in the world, been all over North America and a little abroad in Paris, Milan and Johannesburg) is Sally's in New Haven. It is still a "family" run place (original owner's wife just passed away months ago) and they take off for a few weeks every year. I can't recall when since I don't go there much anymore, might be in May when Yale is done and younger kids are still in school. Anyway, they are always busy, so I am sure it was a pretty big grind year round and they chose a slow period to just close and give everyone a big break.

We will probably close weekdays at certain times of summer and a full week between Christmas & New Years....probably Memphis in May week too.

Summer shorter hours...maybe only open thursdays thru sunday.

We don't close at all until cash flow can take it however. I'll probably go to full 7 days a week lunch & dinner starting in October....maybe not

I had the potato salad. I thought it was good, but I can see why others didn't like it. Almost every potato salad I've seen in this town is a mayo based potato salad. Tipsy's was very different, which is fine, but sometimes people get stuck in their ways and honestly, I'd trade smoked jambalaya for potato salad of any kind any day.

Can't wait to go back and try the jambalaya...

rounds....they are flat round/oval cuts of the potato pan fried with thick cut onions...possibly some parm & herbs on top. think hash browns but for dinner. you see them a lot in lieu of fries at the higher end joints in town.....

:thumbup:

Anyway i can PP ahead of time? I kinda want that rub. BBQ season is almost over, here in Buffalo.

 
the potato salad I had is meant to be served warm....and with eggs.....neither one hold up well in a kitchen like this so I tried it cold and it just isn't as flavorful.

i was very opposed to a mayo based potsalad....but i'm starting to lean to it being a part of it. most people consider potato salad a must but always accept the stuff out of tubs swimming in mayo....i just cannot do that. but...i also don't want to alienate my guests with a really pretentious one either.

i typically avoid potato salad with tons of mayo as im lactose intolerant. so no(or less) mayo is definitely a plus to some.

:goodposting: I thought there'd be a FBG code to get the rub. I'd hate to get shut out because I didn't see the link to order quick enough.
 
I grew up with German style potato salad so that is my preference. Have you thought of having a couple different kinds of coleslaw? Maybe a vinegar based and a blue cheese slaw?

Kinda like what we used to call home fries up north. :thumbup:

you could always do one that's mayo based but uses a lot less of it. I've had some fantastic red potato salads that had very little mayo kinda like this.
