Interesting choice. Why not fresh? What's the special ingredient? Pio's special sauce?

The most special ingredient is that Cook Shack smoker

The shallots were what I had in the pantry.

So overall, how would you rate your first attempt?

An easy 8.5 out of 10. Smoke = next to perfect. Doneness = next to perfect. Rub = a little tweaking left.

Where did you find scotch eggs in GA?

Relatively new place called The Firkin and Crown. Went with an British friend of mine and he said the food was really authentic. All I can say is that it tasted phenomenal.

Last night: Heirloom tomato salad and housemade falafel at Healdsburg Bar & Grill
Tonight: Dinner in the hotel room with my parents. Cyrus Baguette and Walnut/Raisin bread (the perks of working for free) with Capriole Wabash Cannonball Goat Cheese (ChicagoRon can attest to the awesomeness of Capriole Farms), 12 month Manchego, and some brie. Topping that off with some grapes and a great bottle of Carignane.
Life is good.

Went out for Vietnamese last night:

Egg drop soup. Before I realized that I had the camera, we had Goi Cuon(spring rolls), hence the mess in the background

"Caramelized Shrimp"

Short Ribs

Banh Xeo

Made a very nice carbonara with all top-notch ingredients, tasty and indulgent.

Track- any resto that has sriracha at it's tables = legit in my book.
