The neighborhood is quiet this early Sunday morning. I snuck in while all of you were sleeping to get busy on another grazing table. The behind the scenes of one of these is at least 2 trips to Trader Joe's, Sam's, Whole Foods or a local farm stand for the groceries. Then two days before, collecting the equipment, stands, bowls, plates, service ware, etc. One day before, loading the van with equipment, then putting together the components that can be pre-made, smoking anything like turkey or meats that will hold well. Then, day of...hit the ground running. Pack the van, and spend the next 2.5 hours making an empty table look like a king's feast. Thanks for waking up with me...watch my tutorial on smoking fish and get your steelhead trout at Sam's!
