BBQ Cook-Offs and Black Iguana: A Dream Team

25 10 2008

It’s Fall and there’s BBQ smoke in the air.

Each year the Rodeo grounds are filled with hundreds of competing BBQ cook-off teams.

Using secret spices, the pitmasters season the meats and start the slow process of smoking over their chosen wood. Many cooks stay up through the night, basting or “mopping” the meat with marinade to keep it from drying.

BBQ cook-offs and Black Iguana Frozen Ritas are the perfect combo! And that’s no secret.

Just ask some of the Conroe and the Pasadena Livestock Show & Rodeo BBQ cook-off teams!

Ice Houses Do Not Exist in Dallas?

16 02 2008

According to a Texan Bubba who became a New Yorker Bubba but is now back in my home town of Houston with Mrs. Bubba and Bubba Junior,” there are no ice houses to be found in Dallas! Unlike Dallas, ice houses abound in Houston! So, Black Iguana fans – we leave it up to you to decide the merits of living in Dallas vs Houston.

Black Iguana Frozen Ritas were part of the ice house scene with the Sausage Slingers BBQ crew at the Park Grocery Ice House in Houston.  BBQ and Black Iguana – Bubba’s dream match!
