My Favorite Accessories! Hello Friends, It's that time of year, we're breaking out the griddle again and maybe we need some new toys. Or maybe you just got your first griddle and you want to know what is actually necessary and what is not. Well I have a quick review below of my favorite things to use after 4.5 years of owning a residential griddle. FYI all the links are affiliate so I do receive a small commision if you choose to buy. I just like to be upfront about that, but it does not...

Bacon Onion Smothered Chicken! Hello Friends, I hope you're having an awesome week! Today, I’ve got 10 recipes that I’ve added to my e-book this year. Most of these have been shared in previous videos, but I thought it’d be cool to combine them all in one place. The only new one to you is the Cheesy Hash Browns. I really enjoyed these! I use Simply Potatoes’ shredded hash browns (you’ll find them in the cooler section, not the freezer). Then I add cheese, eggs, and green onions. Full recipe...

Bacon Onion Smothered Chicken! Hello Friends, It’s 70 degrees in Ohio this week, and I am pumped! It’s so nice out, I was almost out there griddling in my swim trunks… just kidding. My wife would leave me if I embarrassed her like that. But seriously, I hope the weather’s warming up wherever you are. This week’s recipe is Bacon Cheese Onion Chicken, and wow—this turned out even better than I expected. It’s so simple, just five ingredients, and it’s absolutely delicious. Here’s the breakdown:...

Smash Burgers! Hello Friends, I just picked up a new Blackstone at Walmart for only $299, and I’m putting it through its paces by cooking the most popular griddle meals on it. So far, it’s been solid—heats evenly, no issues, and putting out some great food. First up: Smash Burgers with caramelized onions and bacon. These turned out really well other than I could have gotten my griddle hotter. I had it around 460 but should have waited for it to get closser to 500. One trick I learned in this...

Reviewing The Basics! Hello Friends, Now that spring is almost here I'm getting a lot fo new griddle owners on the email list. Also I figured it's a good time to review the basics for those experienced griddle owners out there. When I got my first griddle, all I saw were recipe videos and the occasional seasoning and cleaning. No one was going over the fundamentals that I had learned as a short order cook at Bob Evans. Things like temperature control, cooking order and oil usage. So I decided...

Step Up Your Steak Game! Hello Friends, Want to take your steak to the next level? These three toppings will do just that—whether you want something tangy, herby, or rich and buttery. 1️⃣ Quick Pickled Red Onions These are crazy easy to make and add the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. Just thinly slice a red onion, toss it in a jar with a clove of crushed garlic, and pour over a hot mix of apple cider vinegar, water, honey, and salt. Let it sit for a couple of hours (or overnight for max...

Regional Burgers! Hello Friends, I just dropped a new video featuring three incredible regional burgers on the griddle. Here’s the breakdown: Juicy Lucy (Minnesota Classic): A cheese-stuffed burger that’s fun to make but can get messy. The caramelized onions were the highlight, but overall, I’d rather just do a smash burger and pile them on top. Hawaiian Burger (Winner! 🌺): Marinated in Japanese barbecue sauce, topped with grilled pineapple, provolone cheese, and a killer homemade sauce. This...

Jucy Tender Chicken Breast! Hello Friends, The first time I cooked chicken breast on a griddle, I thought, “This will be easy—just throw it down and flip it a few times.” Well… it turned out dry, tough, and about as enjoyable as chewing on a leather shoe. That’s when I realized cooking chicken on a griddle takes a little technique to get it right. And it's not the same as a grill because there's not indirect heat. After years of trial and error, I’ve found four simple tips that guarantee...

Taco Saturday! Hello Friends, I got three new recipes for tacos on the griddle that all are fantastic. They all are going into an updated copy of my Griddle 101 ebook. Not only are these deilicious but I think they really utilize the space of the griddle and are perfect griddle meals. Instead of downloadable pdf's, I have links to the recipes on my website. You can still print the recipes from the website, but let me know if you have any problems. 3 Tacos Tacos Dorados – These crispy, cheesy...
