Alligator Chili and PB Cup Cakes: A Whirlwind of Outdoor Cooking Adventures

Dolores and I found ourselves face-to-face with a culinary conundrum: how to turn the last pound of alligator meat sitting in our freezer into a dish to remember. The result? A mouthwatering alligator chili that boasted a melange of spices and a hearty texture, alongside stories of our slightly overdone but sinfully sweet Reese's peanut butter cup cake adventure, cooked to (near) perfection on the pit boss. As we share laughs and the behind-the-scenes of these kitchen escapades, we also tease the taste buds with what might come next—gumbo, shrimp boil, or an alligator layer dip, perhaps? Our festive spirits are as high as our oven temperatures as we approach St. Patrick's Day, with plans to bake a chocolate Guinness cake that's generously kissed with Bailey's Irish Cream. In this episode, not only do we spill the beans on our collaboration with "Just Cook the Damn Food" and other fellow culinary adventurers, but we also take a moment to reflect on the eyebrow-raising peanut butter and jelly BLT that divided the room. Stick with us for our Thursday and Sunday releases, and let Dolores and I whisk you away on a flavorful journey filled with unexpected turns, plenty of laughs, and maybe even inspire your next daring dish.OKIE SMOKIN LINKSOkie Smokin Newsletter - Weekly email of our latest podcast episodes, YouTube videos, and more surrounding the BBQ community.Twitter (X) - We share our latest podcast episodes and talk to the community!
