Charlie, watching you in a cooking segment is like watching an amateur cleaning a loaded pistol. One wants to jump in to help, but is paralyzed to do so because one feels that something special is going to happen.

I’m with you on this. I watched one of my bros trying to light his grill to what he felt was the proper flame level once. I think he finally ended up using over half the bottle of charcoal lighter fluid. After a while he glanced up and noticed I was filming. He asked what I was doing and I said I wanted to be able to show the paramedics exactly what happened. Amazingly nothing actually happened that time.

The contest should be held in a Fleet Farm or Kwik Trip parking lot. Probably Fleet Farm, there's more room, and if you forget any equipment you can just run inside.

It’s always the Cool Whip containers 🫙

I will definitely do that next time we have Brats! I discovered Southern Comfort in teriyaki sauce kind of the same way. YUM!

Definitely making those this weekend!

That smells good !!

How this ended up in my recommended list, I do not know. Do I love it? Yes. Yes I do.

I make my fresh cranberry sauce with brandy, angostura, orange zest and cherries. It’s delicious!

I've worked for a master chef and many chef who have worked and studied all over America and I will say this actually sounds like it works very well. Think I will be making some homemade ol fashion brats this summer as a test run .. cherry citrus and brandy infused brats sounds like I am going to leave put the bitters though quinine is great for drinks but I dont know about eating it .. maybe a nice mustard glazed with it would work .. I am pumped this sounds good

~thank you~ for using charcoal also that was the proper reaction to a brat casing bursting. griller has the right to cuss about it, all backseat grillers are allowed one good through-the-teeth inhale or an "ah geez" under their breaths as they take a sympathy pull on their beers/cigarettes.

I actually found if you drop the raw brats in a pot of liquid on the grill and let that come to a strong simmer, and then finish them on the grill, gets you perfectly cooked brats every time. I also found after pre-cooking a few dozen that way, the liquid becomes flammable from the brat juices.

Blown out brat casing AND brandy in an old fashioned? Finally, I can be proud to be a Bears fan.

another classic!!

Can't wait to try em

Hm. Interesting. I don't have any brats, or liquor, but do have a package of knackwurst, some lemons & a 4 year old bottle of cherry cough syrup... 🤔

That sounds and look amazing

This might be sacrilege, but there's a technique for spiralling brats to give them more surface area for grilling and increase tastiness. It would probably allow more penetration of marinade as well. Chef John at Food Wishes just demonstrated this on a YT segment recently. You basically insert a wooden skewer through the length and cut around in a spiral. The skewer prevents too deep cutting.
