Assignment: Get professional photos taken.
Challenge: What to do with all the food?
Solution: Have a party!

Tonight's guest will be eating a hodge-podge of foods. Not sure everything will be up to s***f, as do a day-long photo shoot doesn't exactly lead to best end reults. But, I'm hoping most will be happy!

Today's cook includes:
• Pulled Pork (BBQ Rub Spicy)
• Brisket (First Strike & SPG)
• Smoked Chopped Chicken (First Strike and Chicken Dust)
• Jamaican Jerk Marinated Mixed Grill (lamb, chicken, country pork ribs, wings-marinade from my website)
• Ribs (St Louis and Baby Back - BBQ Rub Spicy)
• Burgers (First Strike and Steak & Burger)
• Steaks (Ribeyes of course!)
• Wings (Jack's Blend Spicy BBQ Rub)
• Grilled Chicken (First Strike and Chicken Dust)

…plus enough sides to require their own ZIP code.

Meanwhile, the photographer is following me around trying to capture “the perfect shot” while I’m running between smokers, grills, coolers, and questioning every life decision that led to cooking enough food for a small village.

If the photos turn out blurry, it’s because I haven’t stood still since Tuesday.

Big thanks to my son Riley Groot for documenting the madness. Stay tuned for the finished shots—and if you smell smoke drifting across the county, don’t worry. That’s just dinner.

Things I love:

1. 3:30AM coffee at the smoker...pork butt seasoned and on the fire.

2. Bringing a sampling of my smoked Jack's Wicked Beans to my new neighbor (gotta keep 'em happy) and get a text 5 minutes later that says (and I quote), "Those have to be the best beans I have ever had!"

3. Hearing from the bride's mom and dad, "The food was fabulous and our guests are giving us a ton of compliments!"

4. One of the guests, a sweet 20-something girl from Alabama (we are in Michigan) says, "This food is "BBQ approved". Your Alabama White sauce is amazing and all your food is excellent."

5. And then the coup de gras...the DJ at the wedding chased me down to say "I do a lot of weddings and eat a lot of catered food, but yours is tops! Best I've had at a wedding."

Those comments make a guy feel good. I love serving others great food and it is satisfying when the hard work and dedication to stick burning and quality food is acknowledged.

A rub isn’t just seasoning. It’s the foundation. It’s where bark starts. It’s where balance either happens… or doesn’t.

I finally sat down and put it all into one place... waht I've learned about how BBQ rubs actually work, what matters, what doesn’t, and how to build flavor on purpose instead of guessing.

If you’ve ever wondered why some cooks hit and others miss… this is it. https://www.jacksblend.com/how-bbq-rubs-work/

Officially KCBS CBJ and JCUP certified.

I’ve spent years building flavors with Jack’s Blend—this is just another way to sharpen that edge and see what really separates top-tier BBQ.

Plenty more to learn, but that’s the fun part.
