Grilldog Presents: The Howler July 2009 #41

Filed under: Howler — Grilldog @ 6:41 pm

 

With Great Sadness we report the passing away of Chef Nancy Balaise, aka “Chefy”

 

This month we are dedicating our Howler to a great woman who, despite the struggles of battling Kidney Disease, always had time for her friends. I wish I had a salute better than a four paws and a tail, because Chefy deserves it, owns it, lived it and really knew what friendship was all about.  Many times Chefy would email me tips, advice or recipes while she was sick, in pain and going through dialysis.  I never knew that she was emailing me information and help while she was suffering til after the fact.  She was a great woman and I will always remember her and love her.  In her memory I’m collecting a number of recipes and advice that she has given me in these past 2 years that I’ve known her and produce a special show in her memory.  The world lost a great person.

I am working on this special episode in her memory.  We discussed many episodes and foods and recipes.  I’m going to compile what I have and make a show.  The best one is going to be homemade peanut butter cups. She was the sweetest and was like a 2nd Mom to me when my Mom passed away, almost exactly a year ago.

 

Chef Nancy Will Live on in our Hearts!

 Other less important News … What Grilldog is doing.

That’s July 12th.

Grilldog In Japan

I have been working on duplicating some of the recipes of food that I had while I was in Japan and filmed me making one.  Imagine that, me filming me, someone call Freud. It’s really tasty, you’ll really have to watch OMGzilla when it airs in your location or purchase the DVD, it’s going to be awesatious.  It’s called Okonomiyaki and is popular in Hiroshima and Osaka. I made the Tokyo Version.  My good Buddy Yoshio, voice over from Road Kill II, took me all over the place and I’m editing the footage now for my episode OMGzilla.

New Episodes for Sale

 Next DVD of Grilldog Presents. The next 4 pack episode of Grilldog Presents is now available for purchase.  The shows include, Tantalizing Tacos II part II, Getting Sauced, Recipe for Romance and Beer, Fondue and Fun.  Go to Grilldog.com and get a copy today! You’ll be glad you did.

 In Tantalizing Tacos II Part II, Grilldog and the Grill Gals from Pure Platinum Gentleman’s club and sports bar finish up the grill’n and chill’n from part one in Backyard Creations in Kearny Mesa, CA.  Plus we make a great new drink that we called a Sexican.  All I can say is that it has tequila in it!

 In Getting Sauced, we filmed at the Warm Hearth in La Mesa.  They supplied a ton of food and I made 6 sauces that can go on anything grilled and we had a great time.  Oh the sauce recipes just happened to be from my published recipe book, Grilldog’s Guide to Food, Fun and Friends.

  IN Recipe for Romance, Grilldog films on location in the Pure Platinum Club, with the Grill Gals.  We set the stage (literally, we were sitting on the stage) for a discussion and food feast of foods that are aphrodisiacs.  All of the ingredients in all of the recipes are considered aphrodisiacs… Is that Grilldog changing costumes In The Gals Locker Room?! OMG WARNING, you’ll never look at an oiled veggie the same way again.

   In Beer, Fondue and Fun we go to O’Connor’s Irish Pub in La Mesa and make up a bunch of Fondue with a variety of micro brews. Plus we have a new set of Grill Gals we introduced that we’re sure you’ll find Titillating!

 Teasers of upcoming shows…

New Sponsor Alert! HOUSE OF JERKY, you have to look these folks up!  http://www.houseofjerky.net/  First, NO we are NOT going to make Jerky, heck, anyone can do that, I do it in my sleep.  But CAN YOU use Jerky as an ingredient in a recipe for Soup? Salad? Snacks? Side Dish? Main Course, an Adult Libation!!! Not sure if YOU can But Grilldog is going to really whip up some great Jerk recipes all using the Jerky from House of Jerky!  I’m not Jerking you around either! I don’t have a name for the show yet. Oh, and my South African Friends, shhhhhhhhhhh will be tossing ping pongs not Bilbong LOL… OMG now everyone will know!

 Tailgating Party at Pure Platinum, we’re going to have games, prizes and have the gals make sausages! You won’t believe what I am cooking up! Coming Soon!

ROAD KILL III: BATTLE FOR SUPREMACY… details to follow, if that doesn’t grab your attention nothing will.

 We filmed Eggs II Cracked UP at Mr D’s in Chula Vista and the folks at Cox Cable are finally airing it.  Can you believe that I am one of the most distributed shows on Access TV in the World! And I can’t get frequent airing in my own home town, in which the Mayor uses public access to his own delight!

Watch on Cox Cable 7/2 @10:30 & again on 7/15 @ 7pm Eggs II, you’ll crack up!

Social Media Testing.

Grilldog is testing Social Media but  you have to go to his Twitter account.  Me and a few other twits are going to be posting and re posting special discounts offered by pubs or what not in and around San Diego.  The discounts will only be available for about a 2 hour time on a specific (not all at once) date.  We are going to try a different location each week.  To get the Special Discount you have to mention Grilldog and/or Twitter.  For Example, this week the special is at O’Connor’s Irish Pub in La Mesa, you get a free skewer of Grilled Shrimp with your purchase of a steak dinner.  However, you have to follow me on twitter to get more information than that.  No, I’m not Evil, just Devilish!

Party with Grilldog In Mazatlan Mexico, October 18th… Grilldog Turns 50!

What else are you doing? This is your chance to Par TTTTy with Grilldog!

That’s right gang, you all are invited to Pueblo Bonito Emerald Bay in Mazatlan Mexico, ok you have to fly there yourself, but for the first 4 folks that want to share a suite with Grilldog, Grillpup and Jr Dog, the cost for the accommodations will just be $200 per person for the WEEK!  Considering the smaller Junior Suites in the paradise complex are $130 bucks per night (not including tax), that’s a deal! I’m still working on trying to get discounts for other folks but if you have time sharing and are looking for an awesatious week, come to Mazatlan from October 16th - 23rd for one of the most awesatious events ever, GRILLDOG’s 50th Birthday!!! It doesn’t matter where you live in the world, this is your opportunity to vacation, have fun and party with Good ole Grilldog.  Be THE GRILLPACK OF FRIENDS. What else are you doing in October? Where else are you going for vacation?  This is a ONE Time Opportunity and when Opportunity Knocks, you GO!!!! It’s not about the TV Show, It’s not about anything other than having a Good time, with Good Friends, so be there or B-squared.  I’ll post more information each month but remember, the first 4 folks get the best deal… And I know some of you have time sharing… Dan, Kathy and others, so be there, I’ll even make special arrangements for my favorite stalkers! Oh yeah, I’ve blocked their IP addresses so they won’t know…. I can do that LOL I have more powers than you all know! ;-) Oh just a note, I was born on a Sunday, October 18th and October 18th 2009 is a Sunday… The Gods will be watching!

Jr Dog Update:

Jr Dog missed his papa dog while he was in Japan but thanks to Web Cam and Skype we got to talk to each other every day.  Every time I said something he would get a BIG Grin and smile just knowing that his daddy was there for him, if only in bits and bytes.  He’s growing mighty big and starting to hold his bottle all by himself.  He loves meeting people and looks forward to new adventures.  However, be forewarned that if he has that bottle up to his mouth and drinking away, you better not interrupt or you’ll have a fight on your hands… hmm, takes after his old man already LOL

Grillpup

Grillpup enjoyed her respite for a week with Grilldog away.  She watched many videos, none of which I would have cared to see.  Jr dog learned a lot watching the Game Show Network 24/7 and Grillpup says she’s Happy with our new landscaped lawn and we got eco friendly glass put in the house so it will be cooler.  That’s certainly making her tail wag a little more.  She’s also putting her Altima up for Sale so if you are looking for a used car let her know.  I have a 440cc scooter now so I don’t need no stink’n car LOL. I even took a skills test so I have all the skills and a card to prove it, so I’ll be on the highway soon, as soon as I get over my fear of dying!  Grillpup is very supportive since she found out how much life insurance I have!

Grilldog was sited all I over Japan (but not in McDonalds, Denny’s or KFC)

OMGzilla - Grilldog went to Japan.

I did take a lot of footage while I was in Japan and my next show is going to be based on my trip there.  It will sort of be like my London Trip except without doing a Pub Crawl.

 Four Paws and a Tail Salute award for this month goes to…

T&H Prime Meats and Sausages in San Marcus.  You just have to go there and you’ll fall in love with the Customer Service, the Great Food and Prices.  Tell em Grilldog sent ya.  They also sell my Recipe book there and a special DVD of episodes we filmed using their products.

my NEW Sponsor! House of Jerky! They have stores all over the US and you can order on the internet! I wonder if the folks from La Cook-a Rack-a know about my Jerky Taco Recipe! WOW!  You can wash it down with my recipe for an Adult Liquid Libation in which one of the ingredients is Jerky.  You’ll just have to either come and be part of our live audience when we film, watch the show on TV or buy the DVD that’s all the info I’m sharing! bwa ha ha ha

Grilldog’s Hindleg Salute goes too…

18J, let’s just leave it at that!

Little Twits (I won’t mention names) Big Twits (I really won’t mention names) and the United Airlines counter in the Express part of San Diego, Airport.  They ticked me off so much I had to mention it again this month!

_______________________

I put this down here because I didn’t think any of you would make it this far.  It’s been a wild month.  My buddy Chefy passed away but didn’t make the news although I think the lives she touched were far greater than Mr Ed Publisher’s Clearing House McMann, Farrah who let’s not even contemplate the causes of her Anal Cancer, and of course Mr Pop star himself, Ms. MJ give me a kid for a BJ.  I have a 7 mo old lil boy and all I can say is that there is one less Child molester in the world.  NO matter what good he did, it doesn’t justify for his TASTE for lil boys.  As far as I’m concerned all of his actions, behaviors and justifications were typical of a maladjusted malicious predator.  Feel free to honor him, idolize him and ignore his lust for lil boys, I won’t say another word.  However, let it be known that Grilldog does not respect anyone that does harm to children and I’ll never ever idolize someone that did, no matter how much good they did… Oh, making pop music is doing something good? Did he save lives? Did he create new medicines? No he built a children’s theme park in his back yard, talk about giving candy to babies..  I’ll stop now, but I think you get the point.  Maybe I’ll go have some “Jesus Juice” (that’s what he called the wine he gave his lil victims) The following web link should not be followed if you think MJ is a God. However, if you think he is the child molesting piece of crap that he was, you’ll get a chuckle.

Grilldog Presents: The Howler June 2009 #40

Filed under: Howler — Grilldog @ 4:43 pm

Welcome to the OMGzilla edition of Grilldog’s Howler…

This edition we are going to fill it with international intrigue, so let’s Play It Again Sam…

The next 4 episode set of Grilldog Presents is being processed for delivery World Wide

Soon it will be available for purchase on www.createspace.com or Amazon.com

 

But First, for everyone looking for 165 E Main for the Pig Roast on Saturday, May 30th, sorry, I got the address wrong, it was on North 2nd

For all of you that read the AD from Ferrell’s that said our show would be on Sat 5/31st and showed up on Sunday, Not my fault! LOL  What a Cock Up!

 

Now on with the International Intrigue!

1st, one of my fans sent me a recipe that they must think is the Cat’s Meow.  However, they did it in their native language and I don’t speak it.  Not sure why they didn’t send it in English.  However, I did a good job in translating it, well, it’s a start.  If you want a challenge, take a shot and help me out.  Didn’t think I’d put you to work this month did you! Bwa ha ha ha Oh, and he then didn’t return my emails so I did my best!

 Grilldog In Japan

There was so much going on in Japan I just couldn’t fit it in my Howler.  Therefore, I had to Blog it somewhere else.  So if you are interested in finding out what happened to Grilldog in Japan, you are going to have to wait till next month since I’m still editing it. bwa ha ha ha however, if you join my forum, or are a friend on Myspace, facebook or Twitter, you’ll know when and where it’s posted.  However, I can tell you this…

____

“Grilldog, we at United Airlines did not lose your luggage, you never checked any luggage.

I checked a large 32 pound black suitcase, where is it?

Grilldog you must be mistaken!

How could I not remember putting a 32 pound bag on a scale?

Grilldog you didn’t come here with any luggage.

But you checked me in.

I never saw you before.

Then how did I get this boarding pass?

You must have forgotten about checking in someplace else.”

 ____

“Guys, I’m in Japan, the culinary capital of the world and you think I’m going to eat at…”

___

The head Japanese chef after watching me cook this authentic Japanese dish, turned to the Japanese guests and said, Grilldog did it better then they did!

I’ll be demonstrating the American version of this dish on my next exciting video, Grilldog in Japan or some title like that.

Party with Grilldog In Mazatlan Mexico, October 18th… Grilldog Turns 50!

What else are you doing? This is your chance to Par TTTT with Grilldog!

That’s right gang, you all are invited to Pueblo Bonito Emerald Bay in Mazatlan Mexico, ok you have to fly there yourself, but for the first 4 folks that want to share a suite with Grilldog, Grillpup and Jr Dog, the cost for the accommodations will just be $200 per person for the WEEK!  Considering the smaller Junior Suites in the paradise complex are $130 bucks per night (not including tax), that’s a deal! I’m still working on trying to get discounts for other folks but if you have time sharing and are looking for an awesatious week, come to Mazatlan from October 16th - 23rd for one of the most awesatious events ever, GRILLDOG’s 50th Birthday!!! It doesn’t matter where you live in the world, this is your opportunity to vacation, have fun and party with Good ole Grilldog.  Be THE GRILLPACK OF FRIENDS. What else are you doing in October? Where else are you going for vacation?  This is a ONE Time Opportunity and when Opportunity Knocks, you GO!!!! It’s not about the TV Show, It’s not about anything other than having a Good time, with Good Friends, so be there or B-squared.  I’ll post more information each month but remember, the first 4 folks get the best deal… And I know some of you have time sharing… Dan, Kathy and others, so be there, I’ll even make special arrangements for my favorite stalkers! Oh yeah, I’ve blocked their IP addresses so they won’t know…. I can do that LOL I have more powers than you all know! ;-) Oh just a note, I was born on a Sunday, October 18th and October 18th 2009 is a Sunday… The Gods will be watching!

 Japan! OMGzilla! AND Arrigotto to my good friend and brother Yoshio

That’s right Gang, Last month, Grilldog and his Japanese Brother Yoshio filmed in Tokyo, Japan.  If you recall, Yoshio provided the voice over for Road Kill II.   We had a great time and here is some of the news from Japan!  The show is going to feature the Tokyo fish market, sushi, a variety of Japanese treats as well as some great scenes from the area. oh, and if you are not use to eating Sea Urchin in the Morning for Breakfast, Don’t!!! Just a friendly Grilldog Tip LOL.

Grilldog’s Japanese Hind Leg Salutes

 Actually, this hindleg salute is for you frigg’n Americans that go out in a group of people to eat, YOUR order comes to 4 times more than anyone else and then insist that the check be split evenly.  Oh, I give a BIG Saturday Night Drinking Binge Night out on the Town Hind Leg to YOU, ya cheap BASTARDs!

Ok, another hindleg salute to You American Dogs.  If you are in a group of people and you are the only one who smokes.  Don’t go light one up during dinner! Inconsiderate Bastards!

The Biggest Hind Leg Salute goes to United Airlines.  I’m still at a loss for words. You’ll have to read my blog on Japan later this month for the full details.

 

Grilldog’s Four Paws and a Tail Salutes

 The two Japanese gals that endured our friends drooling and were kind enough not just to point us in the direction of a good restaurant but to actually walk us over to it.

To United Airlines for hiring people suffering from the advanced stages of Alzheimer disease as Ticket Agents.

And Most of all the Four Paws and A Tail Salute of the year (and it’s only June) goes to my good buddy Yoshio who took me to many places around Tokyo that typical American tourists never get to see.  Yoshio will always be a brother to me.  Oh, sorry about snoring buddy. Oh, tell your neighbors I’m sorry about the snoring too, and the people across the street, I’m sorry the Prime Minister called to complain, I’m sure that was embarrassing!

 

Farrell’s Filming Fun

On May 30th, we filmed at Farrell’s Fireside n BBQ in El Cajon. We had a great time.  Although it was over cast, there were cars coming by constently making noise on the camera, the ad Ferrell’s ran said we’d be there on the 31st instead of the 30th and I advertised the address as Main St rather then 2nd Street.  However, we had a lot of people showed up, Ferrell’s sold a bunch of Grille’s, the Pig Donated by T&H Prime Meats and Sausages in San Marcus turned out GREAT!.  Imagine cooking a 30 pound stuffed hog in just 3 hours!  The Tomatilla stuffed Trout was my favorite. We made 3 flavored butters, Jalepeno/horseradish, roasted red bell pepper and blue cheese.  The Jalepeno Horseradish was a masterpiece.  Plus, we served it with a ton of grilled veggies, including grilled cabbage with a mango soysauce mix - it needed cayenne.  We may film there again, depending on how the  sould quality turns out.  It was a great time, I sold many of my cook books and we all got hog wild pigging out on grilled pig!  So if you are in the El Cajon area and are looking for a Grille, stop by Ferrell’s on North 2nd street (not Main St) and tell them Grilldog sent ya, you’ll be glad you did!

April Fools!

I had to laugh and now apologize for my April Fool’s joke last month.  Evidently, I caught a few people who didn’t read too closely and thought I was giving up my show and awesatious identity.  You would not even believe the kind and supportive emails I was receiving from you dear folks out there who didn’t want Grilldog to go off the air.  There were offers of support from all over the world, encouragements to continue, etc.  I felt really bad to tell them it was an April Fool’s joke!

for June 2009-

No Plans, I was busy, sorry. I’ve got another 4 set DVD to get out.  Returning from Japan, I haven’t had time to produce a new show but I can assure you, by the end of June, we’ll certainly have filmed another episode.  So Contact Grilldog if you want a personal update! I have also been asked to make some new promos with Jr Dog to Promote Public Access TV. We are planning a fishing show, grilldog and co-host go fishing with a group of kids, we catch fish and grill it up and make fish sandwhiches right there on the ship, now that’s going to be a great show! We will be filming that in July! In August we are planning a REAL Pig Roast, complete in a pit, more on that in June!  

 

 Please, if you run into Grillpup, give her a supportive hug, she still doesn’t understand how come my 6 month old son and I communicate so well, guess we are just on the same level!

And now on to my regular pompous parading and prancing propaganda! June here we come!

Jr Dog Update:

Jr Dog missed his papa dog while he was in Japan but thanks to Web Cam and Skype we got to talk to each other every day.  Every time I said something he would get a BIG Grin and smile just knowing that his daddy was there for him, if only in bits and bytes.  He’s growing mighty big and starting to hold his bottle all by himself.  He loves meeting people and looks forward to new adventures.  However, be forewarned that if he has that bottle up to his mouth and drinking away, you better not interrupt or you’ll have a fight on your hands… hmm, takes after his old man already LOL

Grillpup

Grillpup enjoyed her respite for a week with Grilldog away.  She watched many videos, none of which I would have cared to see.  Jr dog learned a lot watching the Game Show Network 24/7 and Grillpup says she’s Happy with our new landscaped lawn and we got eco friendly glass put in the house so the house will be cooler.  That’s certainly making her tail wag a little more.  She’s also putting her Altima up for Sale so if you are looking for a used car let her know.  I have a 440cc scooter now so I don’t need no stink’n car LOL. I’m going to be taking a skills test in June, so I’ll be on the highway soon.  Grillpup is very supportive since she found out how much life insurance I have!

Grilldog was sited all over Japan (but not in McDonalds, Denny’s or KFC)

OMGzilla - Grilldog went to Japan.

I did take a lot of footage while I was in Japan and my next show is going to be based on my trip there.  It will sort of be like my London Trip except without doing a Pub Crawl.

 Four Paws and a Tail Salute award for this month goes to…

Emily the bartender at Applebee’s at the Mall in El Cajon.

Grilldog’s Hindleg Salute goes too…

That guy in our complex that tore up our flower beds as he was trying to learn how to drive his new scooter!

Grilldog News Flash.

Grilldog has a New Scooter and is learning how to drive it!

Grilldog’s Traveling Tip #1 : When Traveling, don’t follow the advice of that Gal that tells you how to eat for 40 dollars a day, unless you want to have a meal that consists of 1 waffle and a cup of coffee.  If you want to eat on a budget, Grilldog says, just don’t eat at a restaurant for every danged meal.  There are grocery stores everywhere that you can go in and get a good meal that’s ready to eat.  In fact, some even have microwaves you can heat a meal up in, especially in convenience stores.   Grocery stores are much cheaper than the restaurants and you have a nice variety of choices! Now that’s a good Grilldog tip to live by!

Grilldog’s Traveling Tip #2 Always be sure to check that the United Airlines Ticket agent gives you a luggage receipt before you leave their stand or they might have just assigned Your Luggage to someone else! They hire Alzheimer’s patients as ticket agents you know!

Grilldog’s Traveling Tip #3 If you are with a group of people and you can’t afford all the food you want to eat, don’t try and force your friends to split the tab! You Cheap Bastards!

Grilldog’s Traveling Tip #4 If you traveled someplace and report to everyone you had a miserable time because nothing there was like your home, next time either get your head unstuck from your Ass or just stay home.

Grilldog’s Traveling Tip #5 If flying makes you nervous and you have a hard time relaxing and or sleeping on an airplane, Grilldog only has one word to say to say to you… Xanax!

Grilldog’s Traveling Tip #6  if you are in a group of people and you are the only one that smokes, I don’t care about your frigg’n rights, they are out weighed.  If you must smoke, leave.

Grilldog knows and will reveal all with 2 cheese sauces, 1 broth and a dessert recipe.  Plus I want to thank the Budweiser people who distribute Hefeweizen who gave me a cool shirt, hat and some other cool items for using their beer in the show.  The Bud people also gave me a huge banner.

 IT’S May, Mother May I have more Food, Fun and Friends?

I had to laugh and now apologize for my April Fool’s joke last month.  Evidently, I caught a few people who didn’t read too closely and thought I was giving up my show and awesatious identity.  You would not even believe the kind and supportive emails I was receiving from you dear folks out there who didn’t want Grilldog to go off the air.  There were offers of support from all over the world, encouragements to continue, etc.  I felt really bad to tell them it was an April Fool’s joke!

for May 2009-

Filming “Fire Magic”, May 3oth, Farrell’s Fireside, 1207 N. 2nd St, El Cajon CA 11am-3pm
With Food supplied by my good Buddies, T&H Prime Meats and Sausages in San Marcus!

 

 Please, if you run into Grillpup, give her a supportive hug, she lives with two males,
one 6 month old and one 49 year old, and they act exactly the same!

And now on to my regular pompous parading and prancing propaganda! May the News Roll On!!!

Jr Dog Update:

Jr Dog had an exciting April.  He got to hang out at O’Connor’s while we filmed the Beer Fondue.  Don’t worry he didn’t have any beer or Fondue, but the ladies loved him.  He’s a sex symbol at just 5 months old! His list of possible Prom Dates is so huge I needed to install a new server at home just to load the database in.  We also took him to the beach for the first time.  We went to Mission Beach.  He loved the warm sand and sun however, he didn’t think too much of the water since it was a bit cold.  He also didn’t like sitting in the mud although he loved to dig his toes into it.

He is just starting to teeth and is handling it very well.  He really is a calm and tranquil little boy, must take after his Dad! LOL…

Grillpup

Grillpup is doing well and is looking forward to when Grilldog will be in Tokyo for a week.  That way she’ll only have one child in the house to worry about and clean up after.

Grilldog was sited at Pure Platinum in Kearney Mesa AND O’Connors Irish Pub in La Mesa.

Pure Platinum/Recipes for Romance Our 50th Episode

After I started conversing with the great folks at Pure Platinum in Kearney Mesa about filming a show there, I was a bit hard pressed to come up with an award winning idea.  A cooking show at a strip club, hmmm.  However, putting on my Grilldog cap of Wisdom I remembered my idea, long over due for filming, Foods that are Aphrodisiacs! Therefore, keying in an appropriate title and theme “Recipe for Romance” was ignited.  Of course I had to come over to the Club many times in order to discuss the schematics of the shot as well as personally interview all of the gals, one on one, for the show.  Those one on one interviews are tough, so I thought I’d just do Group Interviews, however, I quickly came to the conclusion that everything is Much Harder in Groups! Of course, when all was said and done, my three favorite Grill Girls, Jackie, Danika and Sarah, co-hosted the show with me.  Plus, Lisa showed up towards the end to lend a hand.  We tipped her very well for her service, which made a really exciting scene!

You’ll have to go to the internet for a lot of the footage that CAN’T be aired on Public Access TV; however, I’m going to try! All I can say is imagine 2 hot gals and Grilldog extending their hands over a bowl while a 3rd hot gal pours Olive Oil over their hands, rubbing the oil all over as they massage the oil into a variety of Veggies to be Grilled.  I don’t think any of the Grillpack of Friends are going to look at Olive Oil and Veggies in the same way again!

The show is finished and I can’t wait for it to air.  However, the episode won’t be available for sale until I finish the 4th show on the DVD Beer Fondue.  That shouldn’t take too long to edit.

O’Connor’s Pub in La Mesa - Beer Fondue, April 4th from 11-3.  Intersection of La Mesa Blvd and Jackson street.

I was struggling long and hard to have an exciting 50th episode.  I was originally going to do homemade chocolate peanut butter cups.  I thought that would be great.  Then I started chatting with Pure Platinum and decided Recipes for Romance would be much better to celebrate for #50.  Therefore, I started looking for a venue to film the chocolate peanut butter cup episode, since I had already scripted it.  Previously on Getting Sauced filmed at the Warm Hearth in La Mesa I teamed up with the folks at O’Connor’s Irish Sports Bar and Grub.   They were Hot to film a show there, of course.  Therefore, I approached the owner about doing the Chocolate episode there and she looked disappointed! What? However, she quickly stated that she prefers Beer (now that’s my kind of women LOL).  Therefore, having a Beer Fondue show was formed.  Unfortunately, they have a ton of imports and micro brews at the location.  It is unfortunate because most beer fondues are made with Light Beer.  However, as we all know, nothing stops good ole Grilldog.  So after a day of experimenting I have some really great beer fondue recipes to demonstrate.

Also in April O’Connor’s started their Sunday Brunch and decided to let Good ole Grilldog develop the menu and be the guest chef for the day.

OMGzilla - Grilldog goes to Japan.

That’s right gang, once again good ole Grilldog is winging his way through the friendly skies to the land of Sushi.  While there I will be tracking down my good friend Yoshio who helped, with the assistance of his noble female friend, voiced the intro to Road Kill II The Massacre for me.   I am planning on filming a lot and eating a lot of Japanese food, so look forward to June when I’ll post some videos and the Howler will detail my exploits.

Yes, I have been to Japan before.  I have been to Kure, Yokohama and Yokuska.  It changed my life forever.  Of all of my travels I don’t think I have ever had adventures like I did in Japan just 5 years ago.  Hopefully, they don’t remember me LOL. In short I was kidnapped by a group of local Christians, Baptized in freezing water - we are not talking about sprinkle baptism we are talking full naked submersion, I thought I was going to die. How could they kidnap good ole Grilldog the world traveler? Well, those tricky bastages knew my weakness for crumpets and tarts.  They dangled that crumpet in front of my face all the way from Narita Airport to Herosima airport. You know good ole Grilldog couldn’t resist a nice crumpet and just had to sink his teeth into it, I forget her name though! LOL now is that a true story or not? Only Grilldog knows for sure, and I’m not telling.

Fire Magic.

On  May 30th good ole Grilldog will be filming another exciting episode of Grilldog Presents.  This will be another LIVE performance filmed in El Cajon at Farrell’s Fireside to introduce a brand new model Fire Magic Grill.  There will be a lot of Grilldog’s Black magic recipes that will lure you into his intrigue, don’t miss this one!

Six hosts in nine years - Hosts Reviewed

Filed under: News — Jude @ 2:28 pm

Since I’ve done a hack job on HostNine, I thought it only fair to let you all know my experience with all the other hosts I’ve been with over the years.  When I started my own web presence in 1997, it was with an AOL page.  In 2000 I ventured out on my own with Jude’s Place.  Who did I decide to go with?

Well, back then registrars charged WAY too much for domains. I was paying about $25 a year with the one I was with back then.  I did some research and found omnis.com.  They only charged $7.95 a year, so I transferred over.  Needing a new host as well, I noticed they had a rate of only $2.95 a month for their hosting.  I looked a bit and that was about the best rate I could find.  The space (only 5MB) and bandwidth was very low, but I had a small site and didn’t need much.  I don’t remember any downtime with them, and I was with them longer than any since, from 2000 - 2005. They did well until my site started growing, and I needed more space. Their next level was $6.95 a month, which was too high for me, so I decided to look elsewhere. Not finding any other registar with better rates, I left my domain with them, and have since registered ALL my future domains with them.  So obviously I trust this company!

In 2005 I saw a funny Super Bowl commercial for GoDaddy.  It stuck in my mind, so when I was thinking about finding a new host, I looked them up.  They were only a bit higher than omnis.com, around $3.29 a month if I purchased at least a year at a time.  They offered a huge amount of space and bandwidth, along with MySql databases.  I hosted with them until mid 2008 and never even got close to using all the space, bandwidth or databases offered with my plan.  The downtime was very minimal and was usually only with the database servers.  I did have a few minor issues with them about the max email storage, main ftp accounts and cron jobs, but none of that really interfered with my hosting experience.  I did leave their hosting to see if I could find better, but I discovered the hard way that there wasn’t.  The next 3 hosts made me decide to return to Godaddy about a week ago.

I found IX Webhosting in early April 2008, and it sounded perfect!  Their Expert plan was about the same rate as Godaddy with even more space, and I could host ALL my domains with just the one account. The more time you sign up for, the cheaper per month you paid. Not wanting to pay more than a year in advance, that made it $4.95 a month. Not bad. I moved Jude’s Place over with very high hopes. Luckily, I didn’t move anything else over at first, since I wanted to give them a shot first.  All I had was nightmares with this host.  I’ll copy and paste my cancelation request with them:

“I have been unhappy with your company since day one, but I gave it almost two months to see if you would get better.  Well, you’ve only gotten worse, and I’m tired of all the frustration. If it’s not downtime, it’s too many connections on my database so that my forum is down all the time.  Not to mention the pitifully slow email and lack of spam guards!  I made a mistake moving to you as a host and would like to be refunded at least my unused 10 months prorated from my initial payment!!!  Thank you.”

Once they canceled my account and refunded my unused months, I realized the amount was too low. I asked them about it, only to find out that the $30 “waived” setup fee had been deducted from my refund. I told them that I would dispute that $30 with  my credit card company.  I did, and I got that money back. I left them in late May 2008

I asked some people I knew online who they would recommend for a host.  Everyone raved about HostGator, so I thought I’d give them a try.  Their Hatchling plan looked to be pretty economical at $4.95 a month, but I was shocked to discover that you only get that rate if you pay for three years in advance. Not wanting to do that, and not wanting to pay $8.95 per month, I signed up for a year at $6.95 a month (which I still feel is too much to pay), but at that point I was willing to pay a bit more for a reliable host.  I thought I might have better luck with this host, since I couldn’t find a negative review on them.  I held my breath and hoped I would be lucky.  Everything seemed to go well at first but then I consistently couldn’t view my site.  HostGator has a live chat, so I used it quite frequently for a few days.  My site would come up for a few minutes but would then “go down” for hours at a time.  I complained to support, who told me that they could view my site just fine.  I tried to explain that I couldn’t and asked them what could be the problem.  They asked me to view the site through a prozy site, and I could then view it…but why not through my regular browser?  They did a check of my IP to see if it was banned, both at home and work, but neither were banned.  It didn’t matter which computer or connection I used, my site couldn’t be viewed for more than a few minutes at a time.  I finally got one of their support techs that admitted that their firewall was the problem.  He reset it, and my site came back up…for a few minutes.  I couldn’t continue to deal with this, so I asked if I canceled, what was their policy on refunds.  I was assured that I would get all my unused months back, and I did.  I left sometime in July.

So I searched for a new host. Not wanting to backup, download and upload to a new host, I found one that would do it for me.  HostNine seemed to be the answer to my dreams.  The transfer to them from HostGator was seamless. They even had my emails. Except for a few variations in my cpanel, I couldn’t even tell I was with a new host, except my site was up ALL the time!  I was ecstatic.  I was gun shy about paying for another year in advance, so their monthly billing of $3.95 was ideal for me.  I could try them out, and if I didn’t like them, I could easily tranfer back to GoDaddy. That was my initial plan, to switch back if I had 3 bad luck situations in a row with other hosts…but everything went well.  Except for one downtime of a few hours after about a month with HostNine, I never noticed any other problems. My forum ran fine, so I could finally breathe a sigh of relief…or so I thought.  Please read my other blog for more details on this unbelievably bad host.  It is my guess that they decided to increase their price to $6.95 a month to be paid a year in advance and wanted to weed out those of us only paying $3.95.  You would think they would just discontinue that lower rate and give their customers the chance to leave or upgrade to the new price.  I wasn’t given such an opportunity, but I would have left, since I’m not willing to pay that much.

So I moved back to Godaddy. I lost my lower rate and am now paying about $4.45 a month. I paid for 2 years in advance to get that rate, but I feel confident with my decision to return to my previous host. The best advice I can offer you is to do your research before choosing a host.  Take the negative reviews seriously!

 Personally, I prefer short stories LOL, with pop up pictures, scratch and sniff etc.  Well, Jude I’m sure we all hope the best for you and we do love your website.  Hopefully you can keep it up and running now! what’s a cpanel?

Jude’s response: very funny, G’dog! I did tell you only to post a link to my blog…didn’t I??? If even one of you is spared grief caused by HostNine, I’ll be happy! By the way, a cpanel is your control panel!

 Episode 51 BEER FONDUE AT O’CONNO’RS PUB .  located at 8758 La Mesa Blvd.  We had a great time.  I made 4 different types of beer fondue.  The first was a beef broth, then two cheesy sauces and ended up with a chocolate cheese dessert sauce.  Everyone had a great time.  I had three lovely co-hosts who were more then grateful to help and drink the beer.  We had so much fun we even shot a couple commercials for Taco Racks. They are posted on Youtube and MySpace.  Beer Fondue will finish up another set of four episodes so by the end of this month I should have another DVD ready to purchase.

———–

Although I wasn’t selected as a guest chef for Bobby Flay, I don’t hold any grudges.  I’m sure one look at my show scared those folks at the Food Network. They knew I could easily out do ole Bobby and the rest of the gang on the Food Network.  I’m holding out for Fox, MTV or Comedy Central (grillpup says the Cartoon Network is more like it).  However, although not selected I know the food network knows who I am, and I’m sure they have their eyes on me…  How do I know? well….

Yes, I was mentioned on the Food Network. I know, I know, no one believed me when I told them that earlier this year.  However, I now have proof!!!  Sunny Anderson, host of Cooking for Real, on the Food Network, gave me a shout out.  If you don’t believe it, check it out!

NEWS FLASHes - sort of like HOT Flashes, I guess they are GRILL Flashes!

Someone please come and get my fold out sofa bed! It’d be great for that unwanted house guest.  If you like you can rig it so that about 1am a spring pokes out and stabs your unwelcome guest in the back! Now that’s a great couch! Especially, if you put it in the basement (it has been abused by our cats). $10 and it’s yours, plus I’ll toss in a beer and help you load the danged thing in your truck.

We always need help during the shows, especially when we are on location.  Plus we now have the Pure Platinum gals showing up.  So if Free Food and Hot Chicks don’t float your boat, stay home and eat Cheetos I guess.

We are working on our next 4 Episode DVD.  This is going to be the most Awesatious 4 episode DVD to date.  Just check out these titles…

48 Tantalizing Tacos II part 2 Filmed at Backyard Creations with the Gals from Pure Platinum.  You’ll certainly want to know what a “Sexican” is and have one or two yourself!

49 Getting Sauced - A BBQ show at the Warm Hearth, Lots of Food, Fun and Friends plus 6 new sauce recipes.  Ok, they are not new they are all from my recipe book.  Which of course you can order on line at www.grilldog.com

50 Recipe for Romance at Pure Plantinum Gentleman’s Club and Sports Bar in La Mesa.  All I can say from the raw footage is that after watching this show you will never look at Olive Oil and Veggie’s in the same way again.   Here’s some Teaser’s… GG and G-Man made cameo’s, all the food and ingredients were aphrodisiacs. Jackie, Danika and Sarah from Tantilizing Tacos II co-hosted the show again, Grilldog in a strippers changing room and of course, the scene of all scenes, how to rub your veggies with olive oil… you’ll need a cold shower after that one.  We also have a special guest appearance by a 4th Grill Gal Lisa! I could start my own rock band!

51 Beer Fondue I’m thinking of calling it Grilldog Presents: To Fondue or Fondon’t LOL. I know there’s dozen’s of beer cheese recipes with domestic light beer and/or Guinness however what to do with Fat Tire, Arrogant Bastard, Honey Brown and Hefeweizen? Grilldog knows and will reveal all with 2 cheese sauces, 1 broth and a dessert recipe.  Plus I want to thank the Budweiser people who distribute Hefeweizen who gave me a cool shirt, hat and some other cool items for using their beer in the show.  The Bud people also gave me a huge banner.

NEWS Flash  Grilldog Stops Making any More Episodes!

That’s right gang.  Dissapointed about not making the Food Network, I decided to toss it all in.  I can’t take the stress any more.  No one is buy my books or DVD’s.  The economy is so bad I can’t afford all the supplies nor the time it takes to edit the show.  Therefore I’m turning in my pots and pans.  I want to thank everyone who has contributed to the show these past 4 years.  There’s too many to count.  But we did have a ton of fun.  I think I’m just going to settle down and raise Jr Dog, I know he needs me.  Just note that I’ve posted new pictures of Jr on My My Space account and on Face book.  Then you’ll see why I’m tossing it all in, changing my name from Grilldog Back to George and be a Dad.  Not to leave you all dissapointed, I have left an unedited clip of episode #50 Recipes for Romance posted on the internet.  In this clip, the gals from Pure Platinum and I Oil Veggies, Adult Warning on this Puppy, no one will ever look at veggies the same way again.  The clip is posted all over the internet but you can easily find it on myspace and youtube.  Oh btw, April Fool, I’m not quitting the show! How can I quit and disappoint all you fans? ha ha…

 IT’S April and it’s the Month of Fools! LOL

I want to thank everyone that viewed, voted and let comments on the Food Network Website regarding my audition spot.  Everyone was so supportive, tears flooded my eyes and the just total outpouring of Love has left me speechless, numb and humbled.  Thank you everyone!

I really appreciate all of your great and encouraging comments!  Thanks again Grilldog

for April 2009- Filming Beer Fondue, April 4th, O Connor’s Pub, La Mesa 11am-2pm

Gang, I’m feeling the pressures, the job, the show, family - you name it, I’m over extended (ok, no jokes about my belly ok!) However, I’m still going to be shooting shows, it’s just taking me a bit longer to edit them.  But I’m still here for you.  We’ve got an exciting new Howler for you with Tons of food fun and friends to live by.  Plus, I thought I’d add my favorite recipe from my crabbing episode, Seafood Chowder.  Now that’s worth reading this thing for!

To see the world through an infant’s eye.  Now that’s a Grilldog Tip to Live By.

And now on to my regular pompous parading and prancing propaganda!  So let’s just March along!

HEADLINE GNUEs… so you can’t Lose!

 _____

Jr Dog is here:

One of the things you are not told when you are planning on having a child is how the conversation changes around the home.  Now instead of things like, what’s for dinner? Can you change the channel? Don’t forget to replace the toilet paper roll? and other conversation topics, the topic turns to Poo, Barf and Piss.  Gentle loving remarks are… Get the F off the sofa and change that diaper! You want my foot of your A$$ just keep sitting there! LOL, just joking! Maybe.  I love my new txt msg too.  OMG dear, Jr just had a whopper of a Poo.

Actually, I sort of envy the little dude.  His main concerns are eating and pooing and playing.  Now that’s life! To be so innocent that you are not worried about the economy, the president creating low paid employment that’s going to be filed by illegal aliens while middle class jobs are flying out the window.   Just to sit back with a bottle in your mouth, burp, fart, poo and make a variety of gargled noises.  Hmmm come to think of it, I still do that! ahhhhh he IS MY Son! I’ve taught him well.

Grillpup

I’m back in the Dog House again on a daily basis, some days hourly, so that’s a strong indication that Grillpup is back to her old self again! Just joking.  She’s recovered nicely.  I watch Jr Dog one night or more a week at least so Grillpup can run out on the town and unwind.  So if you are one of Grillpup’s Grilly friends, feel free to give her a call and hang out for a night on the town.. I’ll take care of Jr Dog (we’ll be watching Dr Who and Red Dwarf! Now that’s a Grilldog tip for you other Dad’s out there!

Grilldog was sited at Pure Platinum in Kearney Mesa AND O’Connors Irish Pub in La Mesa.

Pure Platinum/Recipes for Romance Our 50th Episode

After I started conversing with the great folks at Pure Platinum in Kearney Mesa about filming a show there, I was a bit Hard pressed to come up with an award winning idea.  A cooking show at a strip club, hmmm.  However, putting on my Grilldog cap of Wisdom I remember my idea, long over due for filming, Foods that are Aphrodisiacs! Therefore, keying in an appropriate title and theme “Recipe for Romance” was ignited.  Of course I had to come over to the Club many times in order to discuss the schematics of the shot as well as personally interview all of the gals for the show.  Those one on one interviews are tough, so I thought I’d just do Group Interviews, however, I quickly came to the conclusion that everything is Much Harder in Groups! Of course, when all was said and done, my three favorite Grill Girls, Jackie, Dannika and Sarah co-hosted the show with me. I did post the Gals rugginb Phallic shaped veggies with oil on the internet, you’ll never look at a veggie in the same way again!

You’ll have to go to the internet for a lot of the footage that CAN’T be aired on Public Access TV however, I’m going to try! All I can say is imagine 2 hot gals and Grilldog extending their hands over a bowl while a 3rd hot gal pours Olive Oil over their hands, rubbing the oil all over they message the oil into a variety of Veggies to be Grilled.  I don’t think any of the Grillpack of Friends are going to look at Olive Oil and Veggies in the same way again!

O’Connor’s Pub in La Mesa - Beer Fondue, April 4th from 11-3.  Intersection of La Mesa Blvd and Jackson street.

I was struggling long and hard to have an exciting 50th episode.  I was originally going to do homemade chocolate peanut butter cups.  I thought that would be great.  Then I started chatting with Pure Platinum and decided Recipes for Romance would be much better to celebrate for #50.  Therefore, I started looking for a venue to film the chocolate peanut butter cup episode, since I had already scripted it.  Previously on Getting Sauced filmed at the Warm Hearth in La Mesa I teamed up with the folks at O’Connor’s Irish Sports Bar and Grub.   They were Hot to film a show there, of course.  Therefore, I approached the owner about doing the Chocolate episode there and she looked dissapointed! What? However, she quickly stated that she prefers Beer (now that’s my kind of women LOL).  Therefore, having a Beer Fondue show was formed.  Unfortunatly, they have a ton of imports and micro brews at the location.  It is unfortunate because most beer fondues are made with Light Beer.  However, as we all know, nothing stops good ole Grilldog.  So after a day of experimenting I have some really great beer fondue recipes to demonstrate.  Plus I hear there’s going to be games, prizes and even the Coors Light Gals are going to be there.  So everyone come on out!

 Episode 51 BEER FONDUE AT O’CONNO’RS PUB ON APRIL 4TH so set your calendars and come on out.  I’m not letting out the details but O’ Connor’s is a food/beer/wine establishment located at 8758 La Mesa Blvd and we are going to be doing a HOT Beer Fondue Episode.  Not just a Beer “Cheese” show but a Beer Fondue show, we’ll just be a bit cheesy, as always, about it.  O’Connor’s has a lot of great beers on tap, wine and Food.  They have food specials including a 2 dollar Tri Tip special on Tuesdays and Friday nights is Grilled Steak Night!!!

OH don’t Worry, I’ll do Food of the God II after that, maybe LOL

New Technologies.

We are still having troubles with our Microphones.  I’m going back to just using the built in camera, what I need is a good boom mic.  The wireless Microphone you have to sit still and it doesn’t take too well to having food thrown at it.  The gun microphone has a short and doesn’t always work.  Maybe I’ll just make a show for the deaf and be done with it.  There ya go, a cooking show in sign language, I know I already have a hand gesture to refer to my microphones.

———–

Yes, I was mentioned on the Food Network. I know, I know, no one believed me when I told them that earlier this year.  However, I now have proof!!!  Sunny Anderson, host of Cooking for Real, on the Food Network, gave me a shout out.  If you don’t believe it, check it out!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZJGDlRUB7Y

Grilldog’s DVD’s are now ready for Purchase

Plus we made some special DVD’s.  We have one with just our Road Trip adventures, one where we focus on all the foods donated by T&H Prime Meats and Sausages and one where we make Tacos and feature Taco Racks from La Cook a Rack a LTD.  Each DVD has 4 episodes from our series.

50 Recipe for Romance at Pure Plantinum Gentleman’s Club and Sports Bar in La Mesa.  All I can say from the raw footage is that after watching this show you will never look at Olive Oil and Veggie’s in the same way again.   Here’s some Teaser’s… GG and G-Man made cameo’s, all the food and ingrediants were aphrodisiacs. Jackie, Dannika and Sarah from Tantilizing Tacos II co-hosted the show again, Grilldog in a strippers changing room and of course, the scene of all scenes, how to rub your veggies with olive oil… you’ll need a cold shower after that one.

51 Beer Fondue I’m thinking of calling it Grilldog Presents: To Fondue or Fondon’t LOL. I know there’s dozen’s of beer cheese recipes with domestic light beer and/or Guinness however what to do with Fat Tire, Arrogant Bastard, Honey Brown and Heffiweiszen? Grilldog knows and will reveal all with 2 cheese sauces, 1 broth and a dessert recipe.

I want to thank everyone that has navigated over to the Food Network and watched my 4 minutes audition for the Bobby Flay Show.  There’s still time if you haven’t seen it!  The more views I get the better my chances are. Just go to www.grilldog.com and click on the link to the Food Network.  All you have to do is just watch the video, it would be especially appreciated if you left a positive comment and a 5 star rating… I don’t ask for much! :-)  Grilldog loves ya!

I really appreciate all of your great and encouraging comments!  Thanks again Grilldog

for March 2009

I’ve always liked March, that is as a month.  Of course there is March 17th, St Patrick’s day with all of it’s fun and debauchery and March 15th, my Father’s Birthday - always good causes for a Celebration.  It wasn’t so hot for good ole Julius Caesar who got murdered by his best friend Brutus and a bunch of other goonies from his senate.  Of course March 18th also marks 1 year since my mother passed away.  It’s been a rough year since then however, God seemed so smile down upon me and bless me with a son. So I can’t be sad when I’m surrounded by such a beautiful miracle!  All I can say is that if you feel there’s a patch that needs mending in your family Do It Now. Because you may never get another chance… Love does Concur all.  Now that’s a Grilldog Tip to Live By.

And now on to my regular pompous parading and prancing propaganda!  So let’s just March along!

Grilldog and Dannicus

That Great Pirate Band and I will be teaming up once again. First, you’ll need to go to the huged St Pat’s bash at the VFW in El Cajon on Saturdy March 14th for the BIG St P celebration.  I’ll be there selling my books, dvd’s and taco racks! It’ll be a great party, go to http://www.ts.com/portal/event/8992 for more information.

Plus, it looks like they’ll be hooking up with me for a future show, wink wink!

 

 Jr Dog is here:

Jr dog is doing great and growing BIG.  I sure he’s going to be bigger then his pa dog.  He’s sleeping longer and that kid can shoot a poo, I’ll tell you that.  That’s one healthy kid.  I don’t think Sadam’s Mustard gas was that bad! I actually got a call from the California sizematology station regarding the tremor they recorded at my house!  All I can say if someone is sleeping on the first floor and you are sleeping on the second floor and have hearing lost and you are awaking by a loud noise, I mean a VERY LOUD Noise, it’s time for concern! I’ve got Hazmat on speed dial!

Grillpup

I’m back in the Dog House again on a daily basis, some days hourly, so that’s a strong indication that Grillpup is back to her old self again! Just joking.  She’s recovered nicely.  I watch Jr Dog one night or more a week at least so Grillpup can run out on the town and unwind.  So if you are one of Grillpup’s Grilly friends, feel free to give her a call and hang out for a night on the town.. I’ll take care of Jr Dog (we’ll be watching Dr Who and Red Dwarf! Now that’s a Grilldog tip for you other Dad’s out there!

Grilldog was sited in Julian on Valentines Day.

 That’s right the entire family went up to Julian, CA to relive “Julian Julienned!”.  Grillpup and Jr Dog had  great time and all of the folks and friends up in Julian just loved meeting good ole Jr Dog.  We had the most fun with our dear friends at the Witch Creek Winery Tasting room on Main Street.  Now I know many of you head on up to Julian now and then and even have told me that you enjoy the Witch Creek Winery Tasting room there.  Well, next time, tell them you know me! LOL…  Plus they also helped sponsor our last show, Getting Sauced!

 

 GRILLDOG’S RECIPE BOOK “GRILLDOG’S GUIDE TO FOOD, FUN AND FRIENDS”

It’s a Steal for just $16.95 Plus Shipping and Handling!!!

Yes, it’s out there for you to purchase.  If you come by while we are filming, I sell the books for 17.95.  They will be selling for 19.95 in the stores.  When you figure in shipping and tax, it’s cheaper to buy in the stores or come out to a show!

https://www.createspace.com/3360164

The book and my new set of DVD’s are selling great and they are even on Amazon.com now.  If I ever get my butt together I can also be on iMdb.  However, they ask too many questions so I need to wait till I have time.  I’ve already been approved.  You can purchase a copy of my book at any of these fine San Diego establishments.

T&H Prime Meats and Sausages in San Marcus.  A great place for all kinds of meats. Besides regular butcher shop meats they carry a variety of specialty items such as Rabbit and my favorite Fois Gras! Plus they have a variety of German specialty foods and a wide range of homemade sausages.  If you are a hunter and looking for a butcher to dress your kill, T&H is where you should be. tandhsausage.com/

Farrells Fireside Shop in El Cajon. Right on 2nd street, north of the 8 is Farrells.  They have all kinds of fire places, stoves and grills.  So if you are in El Cajon, check them out and pick up a copy of Grilldog’s recipe book! www.farrellsfiresideshop.com

Joe’s Pizza on Clairmont Mesa Blvd where we filmed Pizza UnRevealed is also selling the books joespizzasd.com/

So go to …

https://www.createspace.com/3360164

and order yours now for a St Patrick’s Day Present, Birthday or just as a fun present or addition to your own arsenal of recipes. I’m sure it’s someone’s birthday! Wait! Buy one or more for yourself!

If you have any additional questions regarding the book, please feel free to email me!  Thanks…

To order go to https://www.createspace.com/3360164 will be the best way to order, since they can easily calculate your international shipping charges. They also carry all of my DVD’s just shop for Grilldog and you’ll be glad you did.

Merchant ReSale Program. 

We are planning on doing shows and selling books at the following places in San Diego. Although actual dates have not been set at this time. If you are interested in attending any of these events or shows, just drop me an email and I’ll provide all the details.  We are hoping to sell a lot at these shows and that the merchants decide to start selling the book at their location too. I am in preliminary negotiations with the following folks for shows etc.
We will be selling the books at the events for $17.95 afterwards, they’ll be $19.95 in the stores.  I won’t be selling them any more so that will be the cheapest you’ll be able to get the books for and signed.  On the Internet they’ll be selling for $16.95 plus shipping and handling!  That makes the price, unfortunately around 21- 25 dollars.  Therefore, purchasing directly from the stores or coming to one of the events will be the best opportunity for you to save some money.  Why? Because Grilldog loves you!

The books make great gifts.  They are 8 x 11, 172 pages, 150+ recipes, stories and pictures.  I’ve gotten very positive reviews from them. Everyone is surprised that it’s more of a “real” book than a recipe book.  Certainly something for the coffee table.  The colorful front page makes it a great decorative and eye catching enhancement to any room.

If you are a merchant and/or operate an e-Store and would like to participate in Grilldog’s Merchant Resale program for my recipe book and/or DVD’s, just contact me at grilldog@grilldog.com  Here’s a way you can make money and promote Food, Fun and Friends Too!

Dannicus on Saturday, March 14th, in El Cajon, the Great Paddy Bash…

I know many of you many only know of Dannicus from my Road Kill I episode and my Reflections episode.  They are a great band, we are expecting 700 + people at the VFW in El Cajon for a super party.  I’ll be there (off on the side, not singing a note (for those of you who have heard me sing and have concerns, yes, I can scare cats at 100 yards)).  So go here now for all the information… You’ll be glad you did….

http://bbor.dnsalias.org:8888/

Really, to be honest, you all have heard my voice.  Do you actually think that someone who talks like I do can actually sing? OMG, at best I’m surprised the Cartoon Network hasn’t contacted me to be a regular voice for a show!

New Shows, New Ideas, New Technologies, same ole Grilldog!

In episode #48, as you recall from last month, we had so much great footage of the Tantalizing Taco episode filmed at Backyard Creations that I split the show into two parts.  I feel the second part is much better then the first, however, I needed the first part to be an episode by itself because there was so much information that had to be told. Of course those sexy gals from Pure Platinum, Jackie, Sarah and Danika were there to lend a paw or two.  In this episode we created a new drink that the gals called a “Sexican”! We also made a nutty topping for a brie wheel and smoked that up.  Plus we finally ate those tacos we made the stuffing’s for in the first part of the show.

Episode 49, Getting Sauced! I remember my first “hit” party.  I wanted to do something different and prove I was the all time world renowned King of the Grill.  Therefore, I challenged my party guests to bring something to grill.  I told some to bring meat or fish and the others vegetables but not tell me what they were going to bring.  I then made about 6-8 different types of sauces that I felt could go great on anything grilled.  We had a blast passing the sauces around to each other and sampling all the cuisines and noticing how the different sauces really made a difference.  Therefore, we recreated this.  The folks at the Warm Hearth in La Mesa provided 3 grilles and the meat and veggies and I showed up with 6 sauces. We had a great time, the weather was perfect and even some long lost friends showed up!

Episode #50.  What to do for my 50th episode! It’s certainly a milestone and NO we’re not doing another retro show.  We’re going to do one of Grillpup’s favorite shows, Food of the Gods 2.  That’s chocolate, if you didn’t know it.  We are going to make homemade peanut butter and flavor it a couple different ways and then make chocolate peanut butter cups.  I actually owe the idea for this show to Billdog and the recipe for the peanut butter cups from my great friend Chef Nancy Baliase.  However, the combination of flavored peanut butter is all Good ole Grildog’s idea.

Episode #50 Or we are going to do “Recipe for Romance” Scheduled for March at Pure Platinum, it’ll just depend on which show I do first, still don’t know!

NOTE: Late minute update… We are going to do Recipe for Romance as Episode 50 and then 51 is going to be…

 Episode 51 BEER FONDUE AT O’CONNO’RS PUB ON APRIL 4TH so set your calendars and come on out.  I’m not letting out the details but O’ Connor’s is a food/beer/wine establishment located at 8758 La Mesa Blvd and we are going to be doing a hot Beer Fondue Episode.  Not just a Beer “Cheese” show but a Beer Fondue show, we’ll just be a bit cheesy, as always, about it.  O’Connor’s has a lot of great beers on tap, wine and Food.  They have food specials including a 2 dollar Tri Tip special on Tuesdays and Friday nights is Grilled Steak Night!!!

OH don’t Worry, I’ll do Food of the God II after that, maybe LOL

———–

Yes, I was mentioned on the Food Network. I know, I know, no one believed me when I told them that earlier this year.  However, I now have proof!!!  Sunny Anderson, host of Cooking for Real, on the Food Network, gave me a shout out.  If you don’t believe it, check it out!

Grilldog’s DVD’s are now ready for Purchase

Plus we made some special DVD’s.  We have one with just our Road Trip adventures, one where we focus on all the foods donated by T&H Prime Meats and Sausages and one where we make Tacos and feature Taco Racks from La Cook a Rack a LTD.  Each DVD has 4 episodes from our series.

Grilldog Sighting last month:

I swear I saw Grilldog at Pure Platinum on Kearny Mesa last month several times!  I’m sure he was just drinking diet coke and talking to the manager about doing a show, however, he did look a bit distracted!

Joe’s Pizza has free Wi Fi too…

Kristies on Midway in Point Loma has wi fi too

Applebee’s - if you stop at the bar at Applebees on Jamacha Road in Granite Hills, ask for Kristy or Ryan, and tell them Grilldog sent ya

Of course in La Mesa, Eating and Grill’n and just Chill’n at the Warm Hearth, O’ Connor’s Pub and the Back Comfort Store.

Grilldog’s Four Paws and a Tail Salutes! This month’s Four Paws and a Tail Salute goes to…

Crissie and Ryan, You’ll find them in the bar area at Applebee’s on Jamacha Rd in Granite Hills.  They do their best to provide outstanding service.

Anyone who has purchased one of my books. Actually, my book is more of a medical book of medicinal cures.  For example, if you make and consume any of my recipes it will temporarly releave you of hunger pains!

Grilldog’s Hind Leg Salutes!

The cooks at Applebee’s on Jamacha Road in Granite Hills.  I’ve come to realize that the cooks at Applebee’s must be lactose intolerant for their total disregard of Applebee’s standardized recipes.  The Applebee’s Nacho’s, for example, are supposed to be served with 1.5 cups of grated cheese, melted.  However, the last two times I purchased them I had to send them back because there was only a measly .25 cups of cheese that wasn’t even melted!

There’s barely a drop of sauce on any of their burgers, it’s ridiculous.  I’ve had to come to order their queso dip and chips with beef added to get my nacho fix and I always order extra sauce when ordering a burger. Now there’s a Grilldog Tip for ya.

However, after they heard about how barking mad I’ve been about this they have went back and started making Real Nachos again. I just had to give them a Hind Leg Salute anyway.

Grilldog Presents: The Howler Feburary 2009 Edition #32

Filed under: Howler — Grilldog @ 8:36 am

 

2009 is underway and here’s what Grilldog has to Say

for February 2009


 

I can honestly say that at 49 years old I’ve had 48 New Years that started out better than this one.  Although the show is doing great, the recipe book is out and we are getting great new sponsors, tragedy befell the Grilldog Dog House of Fun.  On December 31st, Grillpup fell very ill and stayed in bed most of the day.  She tried to come downstairs for the traditional New Year’s Toast but was too ill and went back to bed.  The next day, New Years Day, Jan 1st, saw me rushing her to Urgent Care who then put her in an ambulance to the Emergency Center on the other side of town.  Jr Dog and I kept vigil from about noon till 10 pm when the doctor told us she had appendicitis and they needed to perform surgery, but the surgeon wasn’t there.  Not preparing for such a long vigil, I had to take Jr Dog back home for more food and diapers.

To make a long story short her appendix burst and infection spewed out like a geyser, and the doctors worked feverishly to clean it all out.  Because it was such a mess the doctors kept her there for several days.  Jr Dog and I survived, I changed Diapers, sang songs, fed him and we drove back and forth to the hospital to visit Momma.  Although struggling with the pain and exhaustion as her body healed, the doctor discharged her where she remained practically bedridden for another week. Lucky for us, Friends and Family arrived to help out around the house and Jr Dog.  Eventually, our normally abnormal home settled once again to its normal abnormal self, Grillpup is fine, Jr Dog, despite the chaos of being jostled around town for a few days, is still cooing and gurgling…  I’ve had too much excitement this year and want a year off!

 

And now on to my regular pompous parading and prancing propaganda!  Happy 2009!

 

 IN THIS MONTHS HOWLER!!!

HEADLINE GNUEs… so you can’t Lose!

 _____

Yes, Gang, as the song says, Grilldog’s coming to the world, believe it or not - Grilldog was aired on the Pentagon Channel.

A few months ago there was a contest where the Grillsergeants at the pentagon Channel, http://www.pentagonchannel.mil/ were looking for the BEST 3 recipes for a “special” show.  These shows air all over the world to our US Military troops, and of course Grilldog had to provide a Four Paws and Tail Salute of a recipe to support our heroes at home and abroad.  Out of the thousand recipe entries, only three were chosen, a nice summer salad, a grilled chicken and a pasta dish called Pasta de Diablo by none other than your fearless Hero, Good ole Grilldog.  Therefore, for the first time ever, on International TV and Internet, Grilldog’s number ONE infamous la Pasta de Diablo is revealed.  These guys did a great job making the recipe, of course there’s a secret or two that was left out (snicker, can’t reveal all of my arsenal) LOL… maybe on my show I’ll show the entire thing as a tribute! LOL… (I also use habinero peppers, and crushed garlic as well as some cumin).  They did an awesatious job, they certainly showed they loved good ole Grilldog so go to www.pentagonchannel.mil and click on the grillsergeant show, we’re season 2 episode #10. Oh yeah, btw, the recipe is on page 44 of my recipe book.

Because if you are not about Food, Fun and Friends, You are Doing IT Wrong.
And that’s a Grilldog Tip you can live by!

______________

 Jr Dog is here:

Junior is now over two months old and growing up nicely.  He seems to fancy rough play like his ole Pa.  You can bet he’s going to be a champion.  The ladies all love him already, I can see a heart breaker in the making.  He’s so cute in his little Jr Dog costume with his little blue shorts, red cape and blue hat! Certainly a needed addition to my show.  I was hoping to put him in all of my shows but I may have to give him a day off now and then, child labor laws you know! He’s cooing, gurgling and just down right a joy to behold! He’s about 11 pounds and his head has grown an inch after just 8 weeks.  Of course if he’s like his father, his head is going to grow a lot bigger!

 

 GRILLDOG’S RECIPE BOOK “GRILLDOG’S GUIDE TO FOOD, FUN AND FRIENDS”

It’s a Steal for just $16.95 Plus Shipping and Handling!!!

It is on sale online, get your paperback edition  and get some for your friends too! This is not a recipe book, per se, it’s a book about Food, Fun and Friends… You’ll laugh and eat your way through 170+ pages of Food, Fun and Friends! Just don’t eat or drink while reading this! You might choke!

I was hoping to get the book into the stores by Christmas however, due to delays, Grillpup’s Appendicitis and other problems we finally started getting them into stores in the San Diego Area mid-January.  So if you are in a hurry and don’t want to pay shipping and handling there’s a number of places you can get the book, as well as, check out the products in the companies that are selling them like:

Plus they have a variety of German specialty foods and a wide range of homemade sausages.  If you are a hunter and looking for a butcher to dress your kill, T&H is where you should be. tandhsausage.com/

Farrells Fireside Shop in El Cajon. Right on 2nd street, north of the 8 is Farrells.  They have all kinds of fire places, stoves and grills.  So if you are in El Cajon, check them out and pick up a copy of Grilldog’s recipe book! www.farrellsfiresideshop.com

Joe’s Pizza on Clairmont Mesa Blvd where we filmed Pizza UnRevealed is also selling the books joespizzasd.com/

We also sell it during our shows for $17.95, that saves you about 5 dollars in shipping and handling, plus I’ll sign the book, too!

We are proud to announce that FINALLY, after all kinds of delays, “Grilldog’s Guide to Food, Fun and Friends”, the ultimate cookbook and more is available for purchase for just $16.95 plus S&H. At least 150 recipes, wild stories of Grilldog’s “life in this world” as well as pictures and much much more, you will find.  You won’t want to put this in your cook book rack.  You’ll want this on your coffee table or nightstand!  So check out https://www.createspace.com/3360164 and order yours NOW! Sorry if you delayed last month when I notified you because we were selling it for $14.95 online.

Merchant ReSale Program. 

We are planning on doing shows and selling books at the following places in San Diego. Although actual dates have not been set at this time. If you are interested in attending any of these events or shows, just drop me an email and I’ll provide all the details.  We are hoping to sell a lot at these shows and that the merchants decide to start selling the book at their location too. I am in preliminary negotiations with the following folks for shows etc.

Iowa Meat Farms, 6041 Mission Gorge Rd., San Diego, where I’m hoping to demonstrate how to skin, carve and debone a chicken and then grille it up with some flavorful sauces and spices from my recipe book.

The Warm Hearth, 8748 La Mesa Blvd., La Mesa, this is going to be a BBQ and Hot Tub Party, those sexy babes from Pure Platinum will be soaking in the tub with some bubbly and good ole grilldog will be grilling up some pork bbq and have a variety of sauces to go with them and maybe a side dish or two!  We are teaming up with several of the local vendors there for a huge block party so set your PDA’s for February 21st from 10am-3pm!

And Pure Platinum 4000 Kearny Mesa Rd., San Diego, yes, don’t roll your eyes, we’re going to be filming at Pure Platinum.  The show is entitled “Recipe for Romance”, this episode I’ve been planning for 4 years now but until now, I never had a venue that I thought was worthy enough for it.  However, with 10 of their hottest babes in skimpy swim suits, I think I’ve found a location.  I’ll be taking you through a planned evening of romantic foods, that will leave you excited, stimulated and full of energy.  The recipes are going to be simple, easy to make ahead of time so you are not tired and sluggish afterwards! So keep your heads up for this one!

I’ll need a lot of help with these shows so if any of you “Grillpack” of friends can help out, just let me know! It’ll be from 9-4 on a Sunday in February or early March. The club will be closed and it’ll be by invitation only. Yes, our own private party you might say.

We will be selling the books at the events for $17.95 afterwards, they’ll be $19.95 in the stores.  I won’t be selling them any more so that will be the cheapest you’ll be able to get the books for and signed.  On the Internet they’ll be selling for $16.95 plus shipping and handling!  That makes the price, unfortunately around 21- 25 dollars.  Therefore, purchasing directly from the stores or coming to one of the events will be the best opportunity for you to save some money.  Why? Because Grilldog loves you!

The books make great gifts.  They are 8 x 11, 172 pages, 150+ recipes, stories and pictures.  I’ve gotten very positive reviews from them. Everyone is surprised that it’s more of a “real” book than a recipe book.  Certainly something for the coffee table.  The colorful front page makes it a great decorative and eye catching enhancement to any room.

If you are a merchant and/or operate an e-Store and would like to participate in Grilldog’s Merchant Resale program for my recipe book and/or DVD’s, just contact me at grilldog@grilldog.com  Here’s a way you can make money and promote Food, Fun and Friends Too!

New Shows, New Ideas, New Technologies, same ole Grilldog!

We have a lot of new shows planned and plenty of excitement.  In Episode #45 not only did we introduce Jr Dog we also added Lights to the set! I know, about time! However, we filmed at night and they turned everything red, I’m working on editing the red out! LOL…  In the next episode, #46, we introduced more lighting and even added a wireless microphone.  However, for some strange reason, electronics and my show don’t always mix well.  Since the episode was for the Lactating Mom, every time I said Lactating I got drenched in Milk and so did the Microphone! Needless to say, the sound was better, except there’s a bit of a whaling in the intro and end scenes.  I’m trying to work on that… Like I said, Same Ole Grilldog!

In episode #47 & #48 we stayed with our normal abnormal format and filmed another Taco Episode.  In this show we filmed at Backyard Creations on Clairmont Mesa Blvd in San Diego.  We made Tri Tip and Skirt Steak tacos and our recipes included a tangy cole slaw made from Carolina style BBQ sauce and a smoked brie wheel with a nutty top.  Both recipes are in Grilldog’s Guidebook to Food, Fun and Friends.  We sold a lot of books and even took orders for MORE! They are that awesatious.  Plus, the gals from Pure Platinum showed up to lend a hand and add their ah em, certain attributes to the show! I can say my shows are certainly going to be hotter this year! The folks at La Cook-a Rack-a sent me more taco racks and T&H Prime Meats and Sausages sent me a ton of skirt steak. Yes, episodes #47 and #48, we had so much good footage that I’m making this into a 2 part episode.  Part 1 ends with the girls just about ready to pull out the meat!

We had a blast and thanks to the gals, Jackie, Sarah and Dannica who came over from Pure Platinum, everyone was entertained.  The Skirt Steak and Tri Tip came out great and we made cole slaw from a Carolina BBQ Sauce base (one of several in Grilldog’s book).  We topped our grilled tacos with that and some of Grilldog’s Spanish rice.  Nick from La Cook-a Rack-a ltd in New York sent us a bunch of New large racks for the grille and they toasted up the tacos really great! Plus we made the now infamous “Sexican!” you’ll have to watch the show to find out about that one.

Plus we had a lot of folks from the Grill pack of friends show up to eat the food and have a great four paws and a tail salute of a time… So thanks everyone!

———–

Yes, I was mentioned on the Food Network. I know, I know, no one believed me when I told them that earlier this year.  However, I now have proof!!!  Sunny Anderson, host of Cooking for Real, on the Food Network, gave me a shout out.  If you don’t believe it, check it out!

Grilldog’s DVD’s are now ready for Purchase
https://www.createspace.com/Customer/VideoShopHome.jsp

Just do a search for Grilldog and all available DVD’s will appear!

I know I’ve always had them available on Grilldog.com however, the end product was not as nice.  Now for just $14.95 plus shipping and handling you can get a 4 episode DVD that’s about 120 minutes of Good ole Food, Fun and Friends kind of Entertainment.  All DVD’s are available at the Createspace Link above.  Each comes in a DVD box with a High Quality label and the actual DVD label has been High Quality printed on the DVD itself.  You can’t beat that deal.  Also, just an added note, all the design layout and art work was professionally designed and produced by good ole Grilldog himself.

Plus we are making some special DVD’s.  We have one with just our Road Trip adventures, one where we focus on all the foods donated by T&H Prime Meats and Sausages and one where we make Tacos and feature Taco Racks from La Cook a Rack a LTD.  Each DVD has 4 episodes from our series. They’ll be ready by March.

 As I write this, New Years has already passed on the east coast of the United States, where my family has lived for, only God knows, how many years.  It’s not quite 2009 here in San Diego, CA so I reflect.  Most of my E-News, of course, is going to be prancing around and being joyous about the publication of my new book and all the new sponsors.  However, as I really sit here and reflect on the past year, I don’t want to distract from the lost that my family and I have had.  Perhaps, you have had a deep lost as well.   In March of 2008 my mother passed away after a long and painful battle with leukemia.  As I sit here, just minutes before the New Year, I miss her and I think of things that I wish I had spoken to her about. Most of all, I am sad that she passed away just 4 days before knowing that Grillpup and I were going to have a baby.  A event that she prayed for all of her life, me having a son.  I know some day, I will personally resolve all of this, time does heal, so the saying goes.  As each of us contemplates this past year and our lives, I have this bit of advice, you can never say Thank You enough! Don’t take Random acts of kindness for granted! When you are sick or ill or are in need and someone goes out of their way to lend a hand, a thank you is better then telling them how they could have done it better.  We are all in this world together.  I see people every day doing what they feel is what they are about doing.  True, from a birds eye view, they could be doing things better.  However, I was a Therapist and I know, you can’t just sit there critique everyone and tell them how they could do it better from your throne of omnipotence. Someone who is trying to do good, really doesn’t expect a thank you, but a critique of how they could have done it better is like shoving your spiked shoe of their ass!

I don’t know what kind of Dad I am going to be. I am sure my son will need a good Therapist some day, I make mistakes.  I know I may not put his diaper on right all the time and I may not know what one goo or one scream may mean… But I do swear, that I am going to give him all my love and do the best that I can, because the best, is all “I” or anyone else can do.  So this year, remember to Thank the folks who help you, even if they didn’t do it as good as you could have, they tried.  Reflect on your loved ones and tell them all the joy they have given you.  Learn how to forgive and except mistakes. I always say that the worlds most precious gem is a diamond, everyone loves them, however, every one of them as a flaw.  That doesn’t make us love them any less.   Our selves and our own sense of self esteem will always have holes in it.  As much as we would like to think that some day we are going to be a fortified solid block of stoic fortitude, the truth is, we are going to be more like a block of swiss cheese, with holes in our Armour, then that solid block.  It’s ok to make mistakes, learn from them, grow from them.  If you make a mistake, rather then hide it or pretend it didn’t happen, apologized, except responsibility.  Then, move on.  Everyone makes mistakes, no one but God, is a God, therefore, I’m sure in 2009 I’m going to screw up again and again. I just hope that my accomplishments far out way my screw ups and that our families and friends can appreciate that you and I are really diamonds…

As for 2008, well, it’s over and I really am hoping that 2009 does NOT impact me as much as 2008… Now that’s Grilldog’s New Years tip for ya! Oh, and don’t be an ass and Drink and Drive or I’ll have to give you the ole Hind Leg salute!

 

And now on to my regular pompous parading and prancing propaganda!  Happy 2009

HEADLINE GNUEs… so you can’t Loose!

 _____

 Jr Dog is here:

Junior Dog is doing great, he’s just over 8 pounds now and is already co-hosting my show.  He looks show cute in his Junior Dog outfit! It even has a cape for when we go out and thwart the inaccuracies of those other cooking shows! He’s sleeping pretty well and we are getting him into a routine.  I’m not sure who all says it’s such an exciting time, it’s a lot of hard work! However, he’s healthy, had a hearing check up and can hear, that’s more then I can say for myself! In fact he’s now about 11 pounds, what a boy!

For Episode #45 we made home made, Pennsylvania Dutch Chicken Pot Pie and Open Faced Sandwiches.  As we take a look back at my childhood favorite comfort foods my mother made for me.   Unfortunately, we think that some unscrupulous scandalous relative absconded with Mom’s Recipe book!Big Ole Hind Leg Salute to the Bastiens!

However, with the help of Chef Nancy Belise I attempted to recreate Mom’s great recipe!  Jr Dog was there to add his input! It’s really a cute show.  We also filmed Mommacita’s Dinner! We know that the breastfeeding Mom has a hard job and needs a night off.  So Grilldog recommends that friends or family members come up to the plate and make her dinner! We made it simple and create a meal that’s healthy and appropriate to replenish all those nutrients lost via Breastfeeding.  It’s an exciting episode.  We made  rice and a homemade hoisin sauce.  We also grilled up some fish and chicken and added a side of homemade Mango Chutney.

Thanks to Alien Technology, Jr Dog actually talks in the episodes.  It’s hilarious! In Fact Jr Dog said his first words the other day, he said gurgle gurgle goo, which I’m sure means “If you are Not about Food, Fun and Friends, change my diapers!”

If you are in the San Diego area and you know me and I can just hand you a copy of the book, without any traveling or other expense, you can purchase the book directly from me for just $10.00 cash.  I’ll even sign the danged thing! You won’t be able to read what I write, for some reason my elementary teachers felt that by taking a sledge hammer to my fingers when my penmanship wasn’t good enough would some how, mysteriously, improve my penmanship.  Anyway, I have a shipment in and while supplies last I can get you a copy, that is if you can get to me because at that price I’m not delivering int anywhere.  This offer is only going to last till the end of January!  So be my friend today!

If you live in the United States and want to order from Grilldog.com the total cost is $14.95.  That includes all shipping and handling charges and will be regular mail.  Just click on the Pay Pal icon and you’re on your way to Food, Fun and Friends. However, you are going to have to take your chances that I have supplies in.  I’ve been marketing the book to stores to sell and the first that pays received what supplies I have and I can’t reorder till I have enough sales to warrant it.  This offer also is only going to last till the end of January.

To order from Grilldog… You can order on my home page at www.grilldog.com and click the link at the top of the page. That will take you to the ordering page for the book. I’m doing my best to pass savings on to you. However, since I won’t even have any supplies of the book till mid January, I can’t promise delivery until late January.

If you live outside of the United States, https://www.createspace.com/3360164 will be the best way to order, since they can easily calculate your international shipping charges.

Merchant ReSale Program. 

Currently, as of the writing of this email, the book is only available at Farrell’s in El Cajon. Farrell’s Fireside at 1207 N. 2nd St., Ste. 101, El Cajon, CA 92021 is proud to sell the book.  They sell and build all kinds of fire places and stoves.  They also have a wide range of Grill’n equipment so stop on by today!

The Book will be sold soon at T&H Prime Meats and Sausages in San Marcus, California!

We are also planning on doing shows and selling books at the following places in San Diego. Although actual dates have not been set at this time. If you are interested in attending any of these events or shows, just drop me an email and I’ll provide all the details.  We are hoping to sell a lot at these shows and that the merchants decide to start selling the book at their location too.

I am in preliminary negotiations with the following folks for shows etc.

Iowa Meat Farms, 6041 Mission Gorge Rd., San Diego

The Warm Hearth, 8748 La Mesa Blvd., La Mesa

Back Yard Creations 7475 Clairemont Mesa Blvd, San Diego

And Pure Platinum 4000 Kearny Mesa Rd., San Diego

I’ll need a lot of help with these shows so if any of you “Grillpack” of friends can help out, just let me know!

We will be selling the books at the events for 17.95 afterwards, they’ll be 19.95 in the stores.  I won’t be selling them any more so that will be the cheapest you’ll be able to get the books for and signed.  On the Internet they’ll be selling for 14.96 plus shipping and handling till the end of January when they’ll go up to 16.95 plus shipping and handling.  That makes the price, unfortunately around 21 dollars.  Therefore, purchasing directly from the stores or coming to one of the events will be the best opportunity for you to save some money.  Why? Because Grilldog loves you!

The books make great gifts.  They are 8 x 11, 172 pages, 150+ recipes, stories and pictures.  I’ve gotten very positive reviews from them. Everyone is surprised that it’s more of a “real” book then a recipe book.  Certainly something for the coffee table.  The colorful front page makes it a great decorative and eye catching enhancement to any room.

If you are a merchant and/or operate an e-Store and would like to participate in Grilldog’s Merchant Resale program for my recipe book and/or DVD’s, just contact me at grilldog@grilldog.com  Here’s a way you can make money and promote Food, Fun and Friends Too!

New Shows, New Ideas, New Technologies, same ole Grilldog!

We have a lot of new shows planned and plenty of excitement.  In Episode 45 not only did we introduce Jr Dog we also added Lights to the set! I know, about time! However, we filmed at night and they turned everything red, I’m working on editing the red out! LOL…  In the next episode, #46, we introduced more lighting and even added a wireless microphone.  However, for some strange reason, electronics and my show doesn’t always mix well.  Since the episode was for the Lactating Mom, every time I said Lactating I got drenched in Milk and so did the Microphone! Needless to say, the sound was better, except there’s a bit of a whaling in the intro and end scenes.  I’m trying to work on that… Like I said, Same Ole Grilldog!

———–

Yes, I was mentioned on the Food Network. I know, I know, no one believed me when I told them that earlier this year.  However, I now have proof!!!  Sunny Anderson, host of Cooking for Real, on the Food Network, gave me a shout out.  If you don’t believe it, check it out!

Grilldog’s DVD’s are now ready for Purchase
https://www.createspace.com/Customer/VideoShopHome.jsp

Just do a search for Grilldog and all available DVD’s will appear!

I know I’ve always had them available on Grilldog.com however, the end product was not as nice.  Now for just 14.95 plus shipping and handling you can get a 4 episode DVD That’s about 120 minutes of Good ole Food, Fun and Friends kind of Entertainment.  Currently 7 of the 11 DVD’s are available at the Createspace Link above.  Each comes in a DVD box with a High Quality label and the actual DVD lable has been High Quality printed on the DVD itself.  You can’t beat that deal.  We had a couple production problems with 4 of the proofs so the rest of the DVD’s will be available towards the end of January as we sort out the technical difficulties!

We are using wireless microphones now, lights and upgrading our technology! Although I broke the mic in the first episode we used it, I was able to exchange it, now I have a new one to break.  Who would have thought that if you drenched a microphone in milk it’d stop working! Go Figure!

I started airbrushing my logo to save costs! Took awhile to work it all out but Grilldog is a genius!

NEWS From “EAST County”

East County is the place to be: It’s where Jr Dog Lives!

Ok I have to put a hind leg salute out there for El Cajon this month since Kip’s restaurant, a favorite sushi bar in El Cajon for YEARS, had to shut down because their rent went too high and they couldn’t afford to produce the same quality food at a reasonable cost.  You have to love California sometimes. Tax and Spend, Tax and spend… remember that when you cast your vote, or when you don’t cast your vote, Grilldog Glares!!!

Also, although I like the folks at the Blarney Stone in El Cajon, it’s over run by cockroaches.  No, I don’t mean people who are degenerates but real cockroaches.  Just sit at the bar for about 5 minutes and you are pretty much garunteed to see one… eck

Of course, El Cajon is the first place you can buy my book, “Grilldog’s Guide to Food, Fun and Friends so visit Varrell’s Fireside today! Gas, Wood & Pellet Stoves, BBW parts adn service, chinmey and Duct vent cleaning 619-441-2755

HEADLINE GNUEs…

 _____

 Jr Dog is here:

It was rough going.  JD wasn’t due until the 26th of November; however, Grillpup’s high blood pressure got in the way and the docs said that if she didn’t deliver by Nov 23rd they were going to induce her, and they scheduled an appointment for that Sunday Night at 7:30 pm.  Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on how you look at it, Grillpup had a doc appointment for Friday the 14th.  The doc decided that her BP was way too high and sent her to the hospital.

 I left work and ran home to get her, and we flew off to Mary Birch Hospital in San Diego.  Everyone was friendly and helpful there (a four paws and a tail salute on that service).  After a lengthy evaluation her doc said that they couldn’t wait any longer so they admitted her around 7pm.   If you are not familiar with inducing labor it can be a long and drawn out process, especially if you are trying to keep the BP down so that the mother and baby doesn’t have a heart attack, stroke or any of a number of physical “spiking” that ends in death, the key word there is death! Between IV medication and other medication the doctors hoped to relax all the muscles therefore providing a quick escape Hatch for little JD.

The night was rough.  The father is given a lounge chair to rest/sleep in during the long night’s vigil.  Not that I wasn’t appreciative however the hospital and I have different opinions on the word lounge. It was more like something out of a torture chamber, I’ve had better sleep on a twin engine propeller driven puddle jumper during the heat of the day!  Plus, there was so much commotion Grillpup really couldn’t sleep because they were constantly waking her up for meds, physical checking, consults, Movies of what to expect, etc.  By morning, about 7am, we still didn’t have any sleep, she was in pain, not even dilated yet and I was hungry.

About 9am they examined her and declared that she hadn’t even dilated any and increased her medication.  Shortly thereafter she passed out. My guess is that she passed out from lack of sleep, being scared, frustrated and down right exhausted from dealing with all of her pain… someone explain to me how all of this is glorious?  You have to have your head examined, I personally don’t want to see her go through this again, I don’t care how wonderful JD is (and he is), it’s been 9 months of problems, pain and frustration.  Anyway, he was finally born at 3:11 PM on 11/15/08 and was 7 pounds 5 ounces, 19 inches long.

He is certainly cute and you can see pictures at http://www.myspace.com/grilldog_presents where I’ll post most of the photos.  I’m going to eventually have pictures on my .com however I’d recommend just checking out the pictures on myspace because you can leave a comment there (as long as you’re a member).

 

 GRILLDOG’S RECIPE BOOK “GRILLDOG’S GUIDE TO FOOD, FUN AND FRIENDS”

It’s going to be a Steal for just $14.95 Plus Shipping and Handling!!!

Is on sale, on line, get your paperback edition  and get some for your friends too will be available for sale Soon. We’ve had Delays by the Publisher


This book has been a long time coming.  The recipes are mostly all from my early days of Grilling in Virginia and Indianapolis, Indiana. Around 1998 I first posted all of these recipes on line to share with the world. I never thought I’d be hosting a popular Public Access TV show.  Since Public Access is Free and I can’t charge anything or accept any money, I needed to find a way to fund the shows.  True, Great Companies like Traeger, T&H Prime Meats and Sausages and others have donated food for the show; however, I need updated software and equipment and other funds to keep the show running.  Therefore, all the proceeds from the sale of the book and my DVD’s will go directly back into the show, which of course is a non profit organization!

I actually took my recipes off line about 5 years ago and have been working on the final copy ever since.  I had a couple contests on my forum for folks to sample the recipes and post comments. I’ve had about 4 other people review the book with comments and edits and now the final copy is ready for you to purchase in time for the holidays!

The book is 8×10 and is 172 pages of Food, Fun and Friends.  It’s not a recipe book although there are over 150 recipes.  It is a Guidebook.  There are stories, observations and lots of pictures from Grilldog’s experiences.  Many of them have absolutely nothing to do with cooking, however they do have something to do with Food, Fun and Friends.  All the artwork and recipes are by Grilldog.  The stories are by Grilldog too however, we needed to edit them by the professional writer Jude Liebermann and her staff at Lee Books, because I went to public school in Southern New Jersey!

 Also, now that I’m a father if I don’t sell any books I have to get a part time job! Perhaps I could go back and bartend again.  I was always good at that, after all, I have been a student of bars for a long, long, time!

 Also, soon on sale are all of my DVD’s.  This is on line publishing.  Basically, there’s no inventory.  You just go to the website, make a purchase and they create the DVD as ordered. I supply them with all the artwork and the DVD masters and they make the final product.  All 43 episodes can be purchased in 120 minute sets.  All 11 DVD’s contain 4 original, as aired 28.5 minutes episodes, except for one.  The Holiday Special is an hour long so there are only 3 episodes on that DVD. Each DVD is $14.95 and the artwork and set up is awesatious, well, I did design it! As soon as the company notifies me they are ready I will let youall know.

Mountain Home Public Access Channel 8

NOT ANY MORE!!!! I’m barking MAD!!!

Due to a lack of funding by the City of Mountain Home, Camera 8 has closed it’s doors after serving the City of Mountain Home and the County of Elmore after 25 years.  It is a sad turn of events when the 1st Amendment rights of a community are silenced by the powers that be.  It has been the pleasure of Camera 8 to provide our community with quality programming produced by the people.

Grilldog Presents: Day of the Dog.

On a quiet Saturday morning, our hero, Good ole Grilldog, woke up, looked at the clock and went back to sleep.  Why? Because it was Saturday, he didn’t have a show to do, and he declared the day Grilldog’s Day of relaxation.  however, Grillpup had other plans and when it came to meal times, they had not been shopping, so Grilldog had to scramble around and try to make 3 yummy meals…. So Join Grilldog as he tries to relax.  Although he doesn’t get to relax, you get to learn some really yummy recipes for breakfast, lunch and dinner! This show took 2 months to edit, the most industrious show since our 1 hr holiday special! I’ll never do it again!

Soon The Jiggy Jaguar Show is once again starting up their e-News, and Grilldog will have a regular article or two.  More on that and a link next month!

It’s run by the Elks lodge 1812 of which Good ole Grilldog and Grillectable are members of.  It’s a great old fashioned parade with street vendors, floats, horses, bands, clowns, etc.  Bring the kids.  Then meet me for a game of pool and a beer, unless Grillpup is in labor (Junior Dog’s induction is scheduled for the 23rd), then I won’t be able to make it.

Grilldog’s Four Paws and a Tail Salutes! This month’s Four Paws and a Tail Salute goes to…

Patience…  Who is Patience? Well, no one really.  However, rumor has it that Patience is a virtue and it’s golden too.  I guess that means it’s something cool to have.  I know I travel a lot and run into many people with diversified points of views, talents, strengths and weaknesses.  However, when all is said and done, for the most part, we are all the same, just a diamond in the rough.  We’re just people trying to do the best we can to understand the world, get by and support our families, hopefully healthy growth.  I know I’m changing my typical, putting a person or company on a pedestal Four Paws and a Tail salute; however, I felt, fundamentally in my heart that I just wanted to reach out and give my monthly award to Patience.

I have to give a special four paws and a tail salute to Mountain Home, Idaho because they are now streaming all of my episodes every Saturday Night.  Now that’s kewl.

Grilldog’s Hind Leg Salutes!

Grillpup would like to add her own hind leg salute. She recently noticed her car was running a bit hot and took it in to the Pep Boys in Santee.  They immediately noticed her radiator had run dry and was leaking, so it would need to be replaced.  No big deal, but they tested the head gasket and told her that it might be blown.  One of the guys that works there recommended a “cheap” engine shop to take the car to.  So we drove it over to the Run Rite Engine shop in El Cajon.   Most of you know that we plan on moving in a few months and will be selling this second car before we go.  Grillpup has already found out the value for this 10 year old car is about $3,000 and didn’t want to put anymore money into it.  Well, the guy at Run Rite said the starting price to even look at the head gasket was $750 in labor and the worst case scenario would be about $1,250 if the head had to be repaired.  Not wanting to part with that much, we asked if we could just get the radiator replaced and let the car limp along.  The mechanic assured us that the car would be dead in a matter of days.  Of course Grillpup didn’t believe him, but as a joint decision we decided to get the car fixed, hoping that it would cost less than $1,000. It took a week to hear back from the guy about the car.  The conversation started badly when the mechanic asked Grillpup if he should talk to her about HER car or talk to her husband. This set the mood of the entire conversation, to say the least.  Well, in addition to saying that not only was the gasket blown but that it required $600 in parts from their engine department to fix (parts? What parts? They’ll be grinding, sanding and filling), along with several hundred in additional costs.  He then proceeded to spout off a laundry list of items that needed to be fixed as well.  Grillpup could just see all this increasing the cost of the repair to the value of the car, which she refused to let happen, so she cut him off and told him to just fix what she brought the car in for.  Going by what the guy told her on the phone, it would now cost $1,600 to get the head and radiator fixed.  Quite a bit more than the worst case scenario of $1,250, huh? To top that off they had the car for an additional week (two weeks total) and came up with another fix that HAD to be repaired to make the car safe and driveable, which put the final bill over $2,100.  So something that we expected to pay no more than $1,000 more than doubled! Now Grillpup is quite sure that the guy at Pep Boys must be getting some financial kick back from Run Rite for suggesting their shop.  Of course, neither of us will ever be returning to either shop anytime in the future!  Especially after discovering upon leaving Run Rite that someone who works there not only went through her glove compartment and threw away receipts (that he had no right to do), they also stole the money she had in there!  Luckily it was only about $20.  Guess that $2,100 just wasn’t enough, huh?  Major hind leg salute from Grillpup!!!

Thank you Grillpup, now that’s a Grillpup Tip to live by.

… Now from Grilldog.  Since I stated that Patience was my Four Paws and a Tail Salute for November, my hind leg salute for November is going to be to Anger.  Anger, well, it’s not that good.  I know it protects us and gives us strength; however, as Star Wars would note, it comes from the dark side.  When we get angry, we say things and do things that we really don’t mean. We hurt the people closest to us.  Our loved ones and friends are really all on our side and we are all doing the best we can to get by.  If something goes wrong, or doesn’t go the way we want it to, or think it should, rather than getting angry, we should try and deal with the situation.  Now, don’t get me wrong, things happen and we get angry, it’s a part of who we all are… However, when we let the anger consume us, there is no way we can effectively deal with any situation.  Therefore, for this month, my Hind Leg Salute goes to anger…

Did you all know that in most states the wait staff in restaurants get paid far less than minimum wage (it’s around $2.25 an hour, but each state has its own)?  They make it up by tips. Which is an old acronym for To Insure Prosperity.  This way the restaurant owner didn’t have to pay the full minimum wage (thereby able to keep their costs low), and upon good customer service, the patrons would leave a small monetary payment, above the cost of the bill for the server.  Now here in California, where socialism rules, the restaurants are required to pay the servers minimum wage (why else do you think the food costs so much more?).  Plus, the servers all expect the same 15 to 20% tips that other servers in other states receive (something I refuse to do. They get 10 to 15% depending on how good they are).  Let me break that down for you….

Let’s just say in New Jersey, the servers get 3.75 an hour plus their 15 to 20% tips… So if they have 4 tables at an average of 15$ per table for an hour the total bill is 100$.  If everyone tips 20% (which I sincerely doubt), for that hour the server has made, 3.75 plus 12$ for a whopping 15.75 per hour.  Now let’s go visit our good friends in California…

In California the servers are paid 8$ per hour, now given the same tables and cost, 4 tables, 20$ dollars each (since everything is more expensive in California - we have to cover the expenses of the illegal aliens some way!) with an added 20% tip…

8+20 = 28.00 per hour (almost double what the other states’ servers are making)… needless to say I’m in the wrong occupation. I want to be a server in California and sit around and do absolutely nothing and serve crappy food like they do at the Brick Alley in Point Loma.

GRILLDOG is doing Station Adds!!!

 That’s right gang, with the ever growing popularity of Grilldog, the stations around the world that air his show have requested that he start doing 15-30 second promos for their stations, you know the bit… Grilldog walks out and says Hi, I’m Grilldog and you are watching Public Access TV station… in … etc and then promote the station and Public Access TV! Now how cool is that?

 

Grilldog Presents: Out of Gas.

I finally finished editing our Out of Gas episode and sent if off to the folks at the International Foundation for Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders who provided me with the information that we used in the show.  It won’t air for a few weeks yet on Time Warner in San Diego, and it will be quite awhile for you all in other locations.  I do have a few snippets on my forum, and of course you can purchase the DVD on my website.  With all of that aside, here is the first review of the show from the folks at the Foundation…

Dear Grilldog: Thanks for sending the “Out of Gas” segment.  I had a chance to watch it this weekend, and I thought you did a nice job with the information.  You had fun with the subject, but you also presented some good information.  Many people want to know about this but are afraid to ask!  I appreciated the recipes, too! Please don’t hesitate to contact us in the future if there are any other ways we can help.  Best, Peggy

Grilldog Presents: Coo Coo Dogs.

Coo Coo Dogs will premier in the Time Warner, San Diego viewing area sometime in November.  However, if anyone wants a sneak preview of it, we will be showing it at the Coo Coo Club in

Lakeside on their Big Screen TV on Saturday, October 11th at Noon. Come on out and enjoy the fun.  Snippets of the show have been placed on the Internet, www.grilldog.com/forum as well as myspace, google video, youtube, etc.  Note, we also posted an outtake that will not be in the final show, it was too disgusting to air, however, you can view it on the internet.  It’s really sick and a must see.

Restaurant Review!!!

Good ole Grilldog always has a nose for new restaurants.  Recently I was informed of a new restaurant on Midway in Point Loma/San Diego, California.  The restaurant’s name is Brick Alley Bar and Grille.  Now there are several things that Grilldog likes to note in restaurants.  The first is the decor and atmosphere upon walking into the door, and then upon seating, the cleanliness and comfortableness of the seats and table.  Of course, there’s the service, menu item selections, prices etc.  All of these come into play when I try and rate a restaurant.  I understand this establishment was only about 3 weeks old so I was expecting lots of service trying to lure eager eaters to come back.

First, I have to say that the decor of the Brick Alley was very nice and appealing, the bartender greeted us with a big friendly smile and welcome.  We decided to sit in a booth (Grillpup is 8 months pregnant you know) and enjoy a leisurely meal.  Unfortunately, the only leisureliness we experienced was that of the wait staff.  Considering the place was practically empty and were a good twice as many employees as customers, the length of time it took our waitress to refill a simple soda was unbelievable, plus when we asked another server to ask our waitress (who was busy chatting at the hostess stand) if she could get us more soda, the waitress GRUNTED, yes grunted, there was a bit of a snort, too. Obviously annoyed, she refilled our soda, and we continued to wait for our waitress to come take our order.   Now, since I’m not pregnant, I just look that way from too much drinking, I ordered a beer.  When our waitress finally came to take our order, I reminded her of my beer, she blamed it on the slow bartender and took our order.  A few minutes later she returned with my beer and the head had obviously dissipated.  Now for you non experienced beer drinkers, that means the beer was poured and had been sitting a long time for the head to settle an inch below the top of the rim.  It was certainly not the bartender’s delay.

The menu was quite extensive, burgers, pizza, pasta dishes, appetizers and all sorts of goodies, something for the bland tastes of Americans and the exotic tastes of us adventurers.  We ordered the Garlic Pesto Pizza.   We waited a reasonable about of time for the pizza and upon delivery we had to request our waitress to refill Grillpup’s soda that was obviously empty, we had to ask for plates, and if there was any Parmesan or hot pepper shakers we could use.  With the abruptness of contemptuousness, our waitress swiveled around and returned with our requests, except for the soda that she had to go back for once we reminded her.

The pizza did not look like a pesto pizza, pesto pizzas are green.   Plus the chicken on the pizza was gray, chicken is not supposed to be gray on a pizza, you don’t put drum or thigh meat on a pizza.   It wasn’t even chicken slices, it’s that cheap diced chicken that they sell in bulk to cheap restaurant owners, trust me when I say, you’ll know it, when you eat it.  The only thing actually GREEN on the Pesto pizza was chopped up parsley leaves on the top of the pizza… hmmm folks, pesto is made with basil, it’s an emulsion with olive oil, pine nuts and other flavorings.  This was crap, I mean calling it crap is being nice.  After two slices we actually started to taste something, and we realized that we knew what the insides of a garbage disposal must taste like.  We couldn’t even drink the taste away.  Being hungry and some what of a pig, I tried to finish as much of the pizza as I could.  I certainly could not fathom taking it home, there wasn’t anyone I hated enough to serve it to.

We finally received our bill.  The beer was a bit pricey at $6.oo for a 23oz miller lite, we were in Point Loma, on Midway, not a great section of town!  However, the price of a glass of soda was $4.50 OMG! $4.50 for a soda.  Now, for you folks overseas, that’s twice the amount of soda in any other bar or restaurant.

I have to admit that this restaurant is getting a big ole Hind leg salute and you can bet, neither Grillpup nor myself are ever going to return to that establishment.  In all fairness I did hear from a friend that wandered in the first week, and they commented that the place had potential (nice decor, a diversified menu) however, the service was slow and the food bland.  Now we chalked that up to just new people trying to learn but after 3 weeks, bad service, outrageous prices and food that should go straight from the kitchen to the garbage disposal, signals a big ole Hind Leg Salute from Good ole Grilldog, and a promise to never return.

Note: there’s a hole in the wall pub called Kristy’s just down the road… If you are on Midway, don’t stop at the Brick Alley. If you want a bar and grille, go to Kristy’s.  I’ve found their service a bit slow too; however, they have great food and great prices and their wait staff actually apologizes if they forget something or have been held up.

NEWS From “EAST County”

East County is the place to be:Where did all of this heat and humidity come from this year? We finally put away our swimming pool and misters thinking that with fall would come cool weather, but perhaps we were premature! 

Of course we have our Octoberfest in La Mesa, if you’ve never been there it’s worth, at least, taking the trolley out there.  Maybe I’ll make it this year.

Then in November we have the awesatious Mother Goose Parade in El Cajon that is broadcast Nation Wide on Network TV! It’s run by the Elks lodge 1812 of which Good ole Grilldog and Grillectable are members of.  It’s a great old fashioned parade with street vendors, floats, horses, bands, clowns, etc.  Bring the kids.  Then meet me for a game of pool and a beer, unless Grillpup is in labor (Junior Dog is due on Thanksgiving Day) then I won’t be able to make it.

News on New sponsors!!!

No new sponsors this month.  I’ve been too busy.  Of course we had the Coo Coo Club in Lakeside for the Coo Coo Dogs episode and Kevin Ross, one of the finalist from Nathan’s 2008 Hot dog eating contest in Coney Island.  The Folks from IFFDG have been anxiously anticipating my out of gas episode since last December when I first approached them with the idea.  If you have problems like that, don’t be embarrassed to check out their website, ask questions, be comfortable.  Your loved ones will appreciate it, just ask Grillpup.  However, Guinness, our Cat still has gas… stop looking at me that way, Guinness!!!

With the baby coming, the holidays and cleaning up the house, I haven’t had much time to plan new shows unless a sponsor comes along and makes me an offer I can’t refuse.  We have cleaned the yard so I’m looking forward to another splat filled episode, and if we have a sponsor to go on the road, that could work as well.  Keep watching www.grilldog.com for updates, if you can’t find them, they are in the forum section.

HAUNTEDPROPS.com: With Halloween approaching, you want that great costume but are tired of all the Halloween Stores and the hassles? Or need that extra special scary prop for your spooky party?  Then Go to www.hauntedprops.com, they are a proud sponsor of Grilldog Presents and have great products.  We used them on the Road Kill II episode and the Coo Coo Dog/Pimp and Ho show.  Just tell them Grilldog Sent Ya!

TV Schedule: Check your local Cable Access Guide…Time Warner Channel 19 Every Friday Night at 8:30 in San Diego - Cox Cable Channels 23 and 18

Next Airing on COX, Tortang Taloong,WTF??? well, my Filipino Friends aren’t saying WTF, they are saying Yum.  When I first started penning my episodes about 5 years ago, during one long boring DoD meeting, I wanted to do an Eggplant episode.  I love Eggplant, especially Grilled.  Unfortunately, of all the countries in the world, the US is the only one that doesn’t take advantage of this versatile food.  You can do so much with it.  As always, I got over stimulated, we had about 20 guests show up for the show and I ended up making two episodes out of it. The first is episode 18 Tortang Talong and the second, which will be the preceding show, Mala Insana.  In the first, Billdog comes along and shows us how to grow an Egg plant and Grilldog makes a grilled Tortang Talong.  For those who are not familiar with a Tortang Talong, it’s a grilled eggplant, whole, that has been skinned, dipped into egg batter and fried, filled with your favorite omelet stuffings.  Grilldog makes a yummy veggie one and one for us carnivorous beasts.  Did you know that of all diets, folks who are vegan fart the most!? 

___________________________

Filming in October!

 Someone give me an idea, I’ve a ton of shows but I’m so busy I need help! Ahhhh, Of course after Junior Dog is born we are going to do Grilldog’s Blues, that will be foods that are blue.  I hear Chef Nancy is going to help Grilldog with some recipes that won’t have you singing the blues!!! They’re not Booing, they are yelling Blue!!!

Future Events!

In fall, look for Tex Mex-2 Step on re-runs when Sunny Anderson of the Cooking for Real show on Food Network mentions Grilldog’s Grilled Tacos! Did I mention she mentioned me as a shout out on that episode on the Food Network?  Eat my Dust Sam! LOL

Grilldog Sighting last month:
Grilldog has been seen lurking around with his laptop at Kristy’s Sports Pub in Point Loma during lunch working on his laptop.  Looked like he was adding pictures to his recipe book.  Keep watching Grilldog.com or .net or .org for updates.  Get your copy for the holidays.  

At the Coo Coo Club in Lakeside for the premier airing of Coo Coo Dogs. Thanks to the folks at Hauntedprops.com for their contribution!

Grilldog’s Four Paws and a Tail Salutes! This month’s Four Paws and a Tail Salute goes to…

HauntedProps.com and IFFGD two great sponsors who have went far beyond the norm to support Grilldog’s efforts.  Thanks guys for the support and the great Customer service!

Grilldog’s Hind Leg Salutes!

Typically, I don’t get political here but I’m giving the entire state of California Legislature a big ole hind leg salute for their policy of Tax and Spend.  If you Don’t know it Arnold just tried to raise our already high Sales Tax.  Thanks to petitioners, it got shot down.  However, in about a month, they are going to start pushing it again.

Now I don’t want to get you Union people mad at me, but if you are in the Teacher’s Union, Fireman’s Union, Police Union etc. or are just concerned about their pay, did you know… These Unions spend billions of dollars on advertising to convince YOU the voter to vote for more reforms to pay these people more money and benefits?  I was wondering, if these Union Reps who spend Billions of Dollars on commercials would give the money back to the Union Employees, maybe the Union Employees would have bigger paychecks?  Or perhaps, instead of spending billions of dollars on providing comfort and aide to Illegal Aliens, we spend it on the people here who are legal and contribute to our society rather then taking from it.  Perhaps then California would have more money to spend on teachers’ salaries etc.

Recipe for the Month

With Football season in high gear here is an ideal snack that will have your favorite fan cheering for you instead of the game.  The snack is, Macho Nachos.

 

Actually, it’s an idea for a fix your own Nacho snack.  On your snack table put out a number of your favorite Nacho toppings and some bowls, everyone can just go over and toss together whatever their favorite is.  Have plenty of warm chips on hand or French fries or tater skins.  Any of these would go great with any type of Nacho Toppings.  Keep a Crockpot full of your favorite cheese sauce for hot gooey goodness.  Some toppings might include chicken, shrimp, beef, peppers, red onions, scallions, veggies, taco seasonings, lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, and black olives, etc.

 

Now sit back and enjoy the game or just enjoy the food.
