I despise the texture of porridge and congee. I think it's because my mom used to make congee every time I was sick growing up. So I just got back from my trip to Asia and I guess congee is super popular in Hong Kong. I avoided it the entire trip but on my flight back, they had a seafood congee option for breakfast. Someone asked me to give it a shot so I did and it was great. Although, the way they made it, there was no rice grain texture at all to it and it was almost a complete soup so that might have not been the perfect example/attempt lol.


That doesn't look bad, every hotel we stayed at in SEA and our last 2 cruises on HA had congee available for breakfast and it looked nothing like that lol

Let see. Texas = s....l.....o....w cook smoke BBQ/rib (no sauce); I think Tex-Mex is overrated.
Louisiana = crawfishes/po-boys/gumbo, personally, I do like their blacken alligator meat. My friends from the North love them too.
Arkansas = Waffle House? I think there is one WH at every other exit on I-30.
Not sure about Oklahoma and Mississippi.

Waffle House is Georgia institution. It started in Georgia like Chick-fil-A and still headquartered here.

Austin's the closest city to me. Hopefully doing a day trip there soon.

Meh, its nothing special. Beer can chicken does not impart any succulent flavor to the meat. You're better off marinating it or putting a good rub on it rather than placing a chicken over a can of beer.

yep. beer can chicken is waste of good beer. The beer can does nothing other than look cool. Spatchcok chicken is much better way to cook a chicken on a grill. Or hang it on a hook if you have UDS cooker.

Grits, BBQ, fried chicken, chicken fried steak, cornbread, hushpuppies, potato salsa, fried okra, biscuits & gravy, pecan pie, sweet potato pie, peach cobbler, pralines and banana pudding.

And sweet tea so sweet it will rot your teeth out almost instantly.

I'm going to guess you live in Alabama...

Virginia is known for hams but I think its a big marketing scheme.
The ham here is nothing special at all.

Baking a Beer Can Chicken is something I've been wanting to do, and your post is making me re-think whether I should go to Bone Daddy's.

In fact, I may be trying this recipe in the next couple of weeks: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/guy-fieri/big-buds-beer-can-chicken-recipe-1949608
