Smoke Daddy's BBQ has gone off the deep end

Tir_na_nOg Oct 16, 2010 02:10 AM

Some crazy @#$% going on in Lansdale Fri and Sat this weekend:

"So... For some reason I seem to have 30 something pounds of homemade bacon in the fridge. What's a poor barbecuist to do? HE, he, he, he, he...

Now, I recollect an episode of Man vs. Food where Adam went to this place that served Mexican hot dogs. They started with bacon wrapped hot dogs and piled on some Mexicany toppings, including a squirt of mayo.

Bacon wrapped hot dog?!?!? I could roll with that. Better be a steak roll...

Imagine a quarter pound, bacon wrapped, smoked hot dog topped with your choice of traditional toppings like onions, relish, mustard...


Same yummy hot dog squirted down with some barbecue sauce, topped with pulled pork, beans and cole slaw. Are you kidding me?


A quarter pound, bacon wrapped, smoked hot dog topped with Daddy's jan-u-wine, ho'made, Texas-style, bowl-o-red chili and some queso blanco?

That's it. I can't take it any more."

~Thought this special deserved it's own thread, since these dogs are here and gone Saturday, but here's the original Smoke Daddy thread (in case you've been living under a rock):

    My friend ran into Smoke Daddy again at Costco last night and asked him if he was gonna do those incredible hot dawgs again. Nay. But he is planning some bodacious burgers. Gonna grind up some meat and add cheddar and bacon to it. Can't wait to try them.

      Oooo. Thanks so much! So does the Eagles club accept female members? Legend has it that if you join the Eagles club you will be granted bbq all year long.

        As a life-long resident of Lansdale, I can neither confirm nor deny the bbq assurance of the Eagles Club, but I do know that you have to actually know someone who's a member and they will have to 'vouch' for you and I do believe they actually vote yea or nay on new members... Unlike the not so fancy cousin to the Eagles club - The Cannoneers Club who will accept membership from anyone that has $20 and can sign their name. I'm not judging! Hey, when I worked in the restaurant biz I was grateful for Cannoneers because you could drink there till the wee hours of the morning... but now they close pretty much around 2:00 so what's the point except cheaper drinks?

        Sorry for the hijack,

        Those pictures are solidifying the bbq taste off next weekend
        Uncle Gregg's vs Smoke Daddy's

          Or you could start your weekend early cgarner by hitting Uncle's on thursday! I had the pleasure of nabbing one of them doggies at the last possible minute on saturday right before they closed and I chose the chili cheese dog. It was amazing. Looked just like Tir's picture.
          Since I am pure evil I forwarded tir's post with pictures to my friend John who is away at college. I think he tried to eat his monitor. Turns out his dinner was a box of generic brand mac and cheese that he messed up badly when he cooked it. John is 28.
