What's for Dinner?

Today is Bourdain Day - I will be supporting some local Ma & Pa type restaurant as best I can and drinking a cold one in his honour.
 
I wanted a burrito with a side of chips and queso, but instead I was good and made Salmon, collard greens and a sweet potato. I’m not a huge fan of collard greens but I made them with Asian flavors this time and they were really good!

I wish Collard Greens were more available up here. I love it with some pork belly/salt pork!
 
Taco salad tonight!
 
Just put an 8lb pork butt in the smoker. Slathered it in a garlic aioli mustard then a home made dry rub of brown sugar, fresh cracked black pepper, kosher salt, garlic powder, minced onion, paprika, and cayenne. I have a pan of apple juice in the smoker right below it and using applewood chips. Also have a bottle with apple juice, apple cider vinegar, and a little bourbon mixed up to spritz it with. Going to let her go all day long. Should be good!
 
Finished product:

didn’t get a pic but prime filets on the kamado. 2 mins per side over a wide open fire, 8 minutes total, then on indirect for a few minutes before pulling at just over 100* for a quick rest. made my grandmothers mexican rice recipe, and a basic caesar salad. washing it down with a young but tasty napa cab. nice way to forget a crappy day on the golf course.

Made some fried chicken, paired it with some creamed corn with bacon and cheesy hash browns last night. My wife had chicken out and I was going to make chicken salad then all of a sudden this started happening.
 
The wife is making her world famous chicken chili and hominy.
Tomorrow will be Chili-Mac....my favorite !
