*UPDATE 2*
Team OIF well on the way to helping make another successful Hallett grub. We'll get there Thursday evening so we can chat everybody up about Saturday dinner. Brisket needs to go on around noon on Friday. Current Saturday night plan is brisket, chicken, and sausage. Midnight Ribs(tm) planned to be 12 racks - I'm sure we can make it work. There may be a need for some "other" heating/oven facilities if you are so inclined to offer. I expect we're making a Sam's/Costco run Thursday night rather than haul up drinks, and probably an ice run sometime Friday.
If you have any questions or comments, just speak up and we'll all make this thing extra awesome.
*UPDATE 1*
Current plan. Sean talked to Adrian and we'll give it a go for Saturday dinner crawl. We appreciate all the compliments - we cook what we like, glad you guys like it, and have a blast doing it.
Yes, we'll have 3 smokers and right now the issue may be Friday night dinner but with 3 I think we can swing it. Yes it will be busy but we'll make it work. We think NASA has the meat and some incidentals covered.
We should have in the neighborhood of 45lbs of brisket. Current plan is to have them done and resting around lunch so we could actually have ribs at dinner too to keep the barbarians at bay. Or sausage. Or roast chicken.
I figure we'll carve up brisket for us and set up some on a front table for The Wanderers.
Saturday Dinner/Crawl
OIF - 2 smokers / Rub 2.0(tm) / pellets / half-trays / foil / table(s) ...
Mosty - 1 smoker / Mosty-ffalo Chcken Dip
Wooten - 3 briskets - check.
Patterson - has offered some ribs to pay TTW with (don't buy yet)
Randy - famous AI/CMC Texas beans
Red Shift - margaritas, duh.
CaseySS - potato salad / bread / Tool Breaker 50 State Brownies(tm) / grilled veggies
Boudreaux - bring that gal-darn margarita machine
Leinart - green chili cream corn / nanner pudding
Martin(s) - Oh Yeah Cheesy Potatoes / bowls / plates / etc.
???? - cream corn / green beans / bread / cake
???? - plates / bowls / paper towels / plastic ware
???? - drinks / water / tea / lemonade / pitchers
Midnight Ribs(tm)
The legend returns. At this point we'll be able to do 12 racks with 3 or so already spoken for as ransom payment... If you have a preference let us know. We did the "usual" and some sweeter ones at TWS. Last year we did some in a dry style with a beer moisturizer.
More to come. WOO HOO! It's Hallett!
*Original Note*
Alright the time is upon us and with a twist.
THE Wooten has offered some brisket(s) which, of course, we are glad to cook.
Will has asked if we would be a stop on the NASA food tour. Sean and I have kicked it around and are cool as long as the group is. Here are some thoughts.
Friday - many will come in for Friday practice or arrive midday. We have talked about roasting some chickens for dinner, maybe come up with something for a side or two.
Saturday - we think the plan is two briskets for dinner, done a little before noon and resting quietly. Then perhaps some ribs, and maybe some sausages. Midnight Ribs(tm) will make the return as along as we think we have hungry folks to feed. If we cook up 36-40ish lbs of brisket we should have enough to go around, especially with some ribs and/or sausage and/or chicken.
At this point we'd have both smokers cooking full time so would need some additional oven support perhaps for sides. And some Mosty better bring that buffalo chicken dip thing...
What do you guys think? Don't mind helping out overall as long as we continue our fine traditions of too much Saturday night.
