An Interesting Brisket Technique

I'VE BEEN PUBLISHED

Ardie A. Davis aka Remus Powers has written 2 new cookbooks, 25 Essentials: Techniques for Smoking and 25 Essentials: Techniques for Grilling. These books should be added to any backyard warriors/ professional chefs bookcase.

Since I am originally form Washington, DC, Ardie asked me last year if I had a recipe for Mumbo Sauce. This is a sauce found in almost every nieghborhood carry out in Washington, DC. It is used on grilled, fried, or roasted chicken wings and french fries too. A restaraunt named "Wings' N' Things" had some of the best chicken wings in the city. Thier chicken wings were grilled over live hickory (hickory logs used as fuel) and then slathered in that mystery orange hughed red sauce. Mmmm mmm, TASTY! I didn't have a recipe. So I called my mother first and then my dad. No such luck. To the kitchen Batman!

After 3 sugary- sweet- tangy tries, WALLAH! A recipe was born! I submitted the recipe to Ardie along with my notes about my recipe changes. I also suggestioned various ingredients that I thought would help to create the flavor profile he was looking for. One year later my recipe is featured on page 30 of 25 Essentials: Techniques for Grilling . The picture of the recipe is featured on the front cover! God is good!
