Carter Nguyen
I blend smoke-kissed weekends with set-and-forget weeknights, using clear temps and simple rubs.
About Me:
I’m here for big flavor and calm steps. On weekends I walk you through dry-rub ratios, wood choices (hickory, apple, cherry), and rest times for juicy slices. Weeknights I lean on the slow cooker or pressure cooker and finish under the broiler for char. I list USDA-style targets in °F, include make-ahead windows, and add “Serve It With” ideas like quick slaws or pickled onions for crunch.
I shop supermarket cuts and build straightforward spice blends to keep costs friendly. Leftover plans are baked in—tacos, sliders, or grain bowls—so nothing lingers in the fridge. I explain when to spritz, when to wrap, and how to push through a stall without panic. If you’ve got a patio smoker, great; if not, the stovetop and oven can still deliver. Let’s feed a crowd without overcomplicating it.
