We really just have one goal - to make your food life better. Ok that, and be entertained at the same time. And have you learn a few things along the way. So let’s make it 3 goals then.
If you only want the steps to make something, like those vids shot from above with no people, no conversation no nuthin - then we are absolutely not for you. But if you wanna a little fun while you learn, then this is the place.
Cooking doesn’t have to be hard, it just has to be delicious.

THANK YOU ❗️

Well you will probably struggle with the branding iron but the rest of it is pretty readily available. We have great bacon (streaky in this case... cos loin cut is more prevalent), maple syrup you can buy at a supermarket but CostCo does a great deal. Sausage meat just go to a decent butcher although bigger supermarkets are probably stocking it for Christmas now... go do it Paul. Ohh Buttermilk. Frustrating for me . Waitrose, I can never find it. Tesco has it.

"One more ingredient...it's bourbon." Pours in Jack Daniel's, lol

[@bruceabbott6491]

Jack Daniels is a Bourbon. Yes, it is also a Tennessee Whiskey, but that doesn't mean that it's not a Bourbon. Just like Remy Martin is a Cognac and also a brandy. One is a sub-category of the other. In Jack Daniels case, it is a Whiskey, more specifically a Bourbon, and even more specifically a Tennessee whiskey.

[@RYTF5]

Technically JD is a bourbon. They just don't call it that for marketing purposes. Even the Master Distiller claims it is. Check out Fred Minnick's podcast with him where he admits it.
