I’m just a guy that likes to eat. I wage a constant battle between eating food I really like and keeping relatively healthy.

 

Why the name?  A few reasons really. A fatty, for folks in the know, is is a large roll of meat cooked over slow smoke. Most often, it consists of a pound or two of ground sausage, flattened and wrapped around any number of artery-clogging filling. I like scrambled eggs, bacon and cream cheese myself!

 

Smokin’ Fatties was also my bbq team name for a couple local competitions. And at one point, I fit the namesake myself. I’ve since dropped a few pounds and manage to offset my love of food with a little exercise.

 

I love to bbq. I’ve been doing it for awhile and like to think I’m pretty good at it. I’ve competed in a few competitions, and actually got to walk in one. But mostly, I just enjoy cooking, eating, and talking with folks about food.

Here you will find a few of the things I enjoy enough to write about. I hope you dig them as much as I do!
