Smoked Turkey Breast: Huntsville Restaurant Week, Part 3

August 12, 2015

From August 14-23, residents of and visitors to Huntsville, AL can take advantage of amazing fixed price lunch and dinner menus at over 60 of the city's eateries as part of the annual Hunstville Restaurant Week.

In advance of this year's festival of fine food, I was invited to try out a few of the featured restaurants including our first stop, LawLers Barbecue at 544 Hughes Road. In honor of my hospitable hostess at LawLers and The Year of Alabama BBQ, I am offering up my own recipe for smoked turkey -- a buttermilk marinated whole bone-in turkey breast smoked in the truly remarkable Pit Barrel Cooker.

Grilled Schwenkbraten: Huntsville Restaurant Week, Part 2

August 12, 2015

Yesterday I shared a bit about my recent visit to Huntsville, AL for a sneak peek of the annual Hunstville, AL Restaurant Week, a 10 day celebration of the area's eclectic mix of casual and fine dining offerings. Running from August 14-23, restaurant week features fixed priced lunch and dinner deals at 60 local eateries including Hildegard's BIergarten.

In my own homage to Hildegard's, I have developed the following recipe for another German classic, schwenkbraten. Marinated in a mixture of mustard, garlic, juniper berries, herbs and spices, these thin cuts of pork are cooked quickly over direct heat and served along with grilled, marinated onions.

Grilled Gazpacho Soup: Huntsville Restaurant Week, Part 1

Recently I was invited by the Huntsville/Madison County Convention & Visitors Bureau for a sneak peek at the annual Hunstville, AL Restaurant Week, a 10 day celebration of the area's eclectic mix of casual and fine dining offerings. Running from August 14-23, restaurant week features fixed priced lunch and dinner deals at 60 local eateries.

For non-Huntsville residents, it's worth planning a visit to Huntsville during next year's restaurant week but in the meantime I've put my own grilled twist on a gazpacho I tried at Grille 29 by fire roasting several of the ingredients.
