BBQ Beautiful “Black Gold” Cured and Smoked Pastrami
Our BBQ Beautiful “Black Gold” Cured and Smoked Pastrami starts with a classic brisket cut, deeply infused with a cure that balances dark spices, cracked coriander, smoked paprika, and a subtle kiss of brown sugar. After a slow, cold cure and a long, low smoke, what emerges is nothing short of majestic—tender slices with a bark so black and glistening, it’s earned the name Black Gold.
Smoked Chicken with Cold-infused Herb and Whiskey Butter Veins
This isn’t your average smoked chicken. Instead of seasoning just the skin, we lace the meat itself with ribbons of cold, herb-packed, whiskey-kissed butter. As the bird smokes low and slow, those hidden pockets melt, basting every bite from the inside out. The result? Juicy, aromatic chicken with subtle waves of sage, thyme, and smoky scotch in every slice — no sauce, no gimmicks, just flavor woven right into the muscle.
Low and Slow Cooking: Mastering the Art of Tender, Flavorful Meats
