Musings on John Daly, barbeque, golf, & such

One of the keys to successful grilling lies within the third commandment of grilling: thou shalt marinade thy meat.

Okay, there’s no such official commandment, but if you want a tastier, tenderized cut of meat, you should marinade.

Of course, a multitude of meat specific marinades exist. Let’s say you’re grilling beef, pork, and seafood. Chances are you’ll end up buying three expensive and different types of marinade.

With that in mind, Dan Christy developed a marinade recipe which works well on any type of meat. This means you can marinade chicken, beef, pork, or seafood with John Daly Marinade and ditch the other brands. While the marinade tenderizes, the spices impart a lightly sweet spice taste to your meat.

John Daly Marinade will be available July 27 at www.johndalybbq.com

Dan Christy called me yesterday and mentioned he’s been getting questions about the coleslaw pictured on John Daly pulled pork sandwiches. This is a good news/bad news type of situation.

Dan loves cole slaw on his pulled pork.  He always eats his BBQ photography sessions hence the coleslaw. Of course, Dan does a lot of photography sessions. He’s been known to say a couple times a day, “I’m kinda hungry, I think I’ll take some pictures.”

Of course, Dan can whip up a batch of cole slaw on demand. I’m still trying to figure out where he stows the cabbage. Unfortunately, Dan hasn’t figured out how to freeze and ship coleslaw. It can’t be done.

So, I informed Dan he should do the honorable thing: give up the coleslaw recipe. With minimal teeth gnashing and hand wringing, Dan gave me the recipe for your use.

By the way, this is the same recipe they use at John’s restaurant.

John Daly Cole Slaw

1 pound chopped cabbage
1/4 cup shredded carrots (optional)
1 t lime juice
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup Miracle Whip
1/4 t seasoned salt
1/8 cup sugar
1/4 T mustard

Mix all ingredients. Add milk as needed to make milky.
