Notes from the Underground…
I was taking my son (19 mo) on a walk the other day. We ran into a neighbor who commented that my “Grandson” was rather cute. How surprised they were to find out that I’m his Dad. Well, I’m a bit surprised too. However, it caused me to ponder while we walked. Earlier that day my son and I were watching cartoons. Modern cartoons. You know the ones, that are supposed to be non violent and promote family happiness and fully politically correct. Certainly not the violent cartoons that we were raised on. So let’s look at that for a minute…
In my day we had Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Mickey Mouse, Winnie the Pooh, the Road Runner and a host of others. All of which, might I say, typically having stupid minded people chasing after the innocent. At the end of each episode, the innocent over comes and the villain vanquished. Besides cartoons we had sitcoms like Gilligan’s Island, The Brady Bunch, Partridge Family and late night with the Carol Burnette Show or even the Mary Taylor Moore show and the original Bob Newhart show. On all of these shows, no matter what happened, what crisis the “family” had to face, in the end, they wrapped it all up and everyone was warm and fuzzy. Now, today, in our more politically correct world, things are different.
I guess based on everyone’s politically correct mind, today’s sitcoms and cartoons are supposed to be morally and thus more healthy for family and kids. However, I differ. I don’t know if you watch any of the crap that’s on TV now a-days however, here is my synopsis. Today, parents are idiots and buffoons. If the show doesn’t make some absorbed mention of bodily fluids like snot, poo, pee or even puss it’s not considered good TV. I saw the other day a couple of pre-teens having a zit squirting battle. But we get to hear it too, in surround sound. Today, kids in cartoons pick their nose, their butts and even pick their pimples and squirt it on their peers. Thank God this is considered good TV. We really have progressed since the Coyote Chased the Road Runner. Not sure how many of you know that The Road Runner Show was banned in the good Ole US for a few years back in the 70’s because they believed it led to violent behavior in our youngsters. I assume that today’s shows, where children blatantly disobey their parents who appear stupid and aloft are more appropriate, or the fact that picking a zit and squirting it on a peer is joy and entertainment top notch and of course more healthy then our beloved Road Runner. Personally, I think NOT. I find the cartoons and sitcoms now-a-days, vulgar, lacking in any social moral values and tend to make the most stupid and disgusting beloved and admired. Let’s face it… Taking the most violent cartoon of my day, i.e. Road Runner, it actually has more value then today’s shows. Now let’s dissect the roadrunner show. The moral is that no matter how bad you are or at what lengths you go to conquer the sweet and innocent, you are going to loose. Seriously, look at all those shows in the 60’s, they pretty much promoted that good shall prevail. I would have been shocked if anyone in the partridge family contracted a social disease especially from someone of their own sex, however, today, it’s a common occurrence, a red badge of honor almost. Our sweet beloved Road Runner did nothing but run down the road all day having fun while the evil coyote became the victim of his own unscrupulous plots.
Well, that’s just my observation, you are welcome to your own. However, not until recent years have the number of children going to school on a killing rampage surfaced. I don’t think you can blame RR or the Coyote for that. However, I’ll leave it to your own opinion.
As of JUNE 1st we now airing on Channel Austin Channel 10 Every Tuesday Night at 6pm on Time Warner Cable. Catch the fun!
Plus they are streaming it on the net so everyone can enjoy the fun.

Being a Dad @ 50
My back hurts, my knees hurt, my shoulders hurt, I’m tired. I wish I had more energy. However, the docs say I have a sleeping disorder. Therefore, they hooked me up to this giant mask that covered my nose and mouth and squirted air up my nose all night long. This was suppose to make me more energetic. In the morning not only was I more tired then ever from the machines waking me up, psychotic nightmares disturbing my slumber but I also had a giant suction cup mark over my face like I was attacked by a giant squid. I’ll just go get a beer and call it a night, thanks doc.
Grilldog’s Progress Report for July.

Plus, they’ll be a pick or two of each show’s handwritten scripts! Originals by Grilldog, detailing his plans for the episode. Certainly a collector’s edition! Actually, I haven’t done crap with the book in about 9 months, but it’s on my to-do list, as well as looking for my to-do list.
GRILLDOG’S 2nd RECIPE BOOK “Grilldog’s 50th Celebration”
is delayed!!
I’m still working on my second book, Grilldog’s 50th Celebration. This book is not just a synopsis and story guide to my first 50 episodes, it also contains all the recipes from all of the 1st 50 episodes. I know everyone has been asking for this so it’s on the way. I was hoping to complete the book and publish it on my birthday 10/18 when I turn 50, however, between work and traveling I think I’ll only have the draft completed by then. I’ll still have to add the photos and edit the text and add the table of contents etc.

This month is Father’s Day. So we remember dear old Dad. In 2008, I was a father for the first time and we all went out to my favorite Brunch at the 94th Aerosquardon in San Diego for father’s day last year. My wife bought me a great hammock to lay out in the San Diego sun. It lasted almost a year but it was one of the many treasures that we had to sell in order to go to Austin, Tx. Hopefully, I’ll get a new one this year. It’s been a rough couple of years for my family. 5 years ago Dad suffered a stroke just months after my marriage (and NO my marriage didn’t give him the stroke). Then 2 years ago Mom passed away after struggling with leukemia for years. Her final days were horrific to say the least. Unfortunately, she passed away just a few days before we discovered that my wife was pregnant with my first and only child. An event Mom always prayed for but died without knowledge. Dad has been on the down side ever since the stroke. The dementia slowly getting worst till now his body doesn’t even remember to breath.
A Long Long Time ago, I remember when… for a couple years when I was only 4 or 5 I can remember quite a number of close relatives passing away, my Mothers Mom (Mom Mom), my uncle, my Aunt (God Mother) and several others. It seemed like they might go to the doctor for some pain and then a couple months later. Dead. No long term suffering or struggles, just up and died. Pretty much painlessly. Since then our modern science has developed many many ways to prolong life and in my mind the suffering too. Not just for the sick but for their families as well. Unless you get hit buy a bus, it seems that most of us are doomed to a lingering death. So much for, “I hope I die in my sleep”.
Back in the day, I was a Mental Health Professional, I worked with many people who attempted suicide and worked side by side with colleagues who eventually took their own lives to end what ever demons they were dealing with. Amazing that death is all around us and something that we all will end up but it seems the last thing we talk about. I guess because the grim ripper is just that, grim.
I’m typing this section on May 29th, 2010 just hours after receiving that phone call from my sister that Dad’s body is rapidly failing fast. About the only thing he mutters is that he doesn’t want anyone to leave his side. Dad, despite his faults, we all have faults don’t forget, he was a proud man who unfortunately has been in such a state of dementia I don’t know if he really ever comprehended that I finally had a son to pass his name along too. An event he prayed for. As I said, Dad was always a proud man, he bravely went off to fight the war (WWII) when the country cried for help. Dad was one of the many lucky sailors that lived through the battle of Normandy on D Day. He was stationed at Portsmouth, England (a place I was honored to visit and bring back modern photos for him). I visited the WWII museum there and shuddered at the horrors. Of course almost everyone saw that Tom Hanks movie and grimaced at the blood shed. However, I’m hear to tell you that it was worst then your worst nightmare. There is no way anyone but a sicko would go and enjoy a movie that actually delivered an honest blow by blow account of what those young men, most not even 20 years old had to deal with. I think we forget that most of them were teenagers fighting that bloody war. Dad’s nightmares from that event never went away and he struggled when them his entire life. After the war, in the mid 50’s Dad and Mom met and together they struggled to raise “typical” American family. Whether or not I agree with their parental teachings, I can’t deny that in their minds they did everything they could to raise us as healthy productive human beings.
My Dad may not be with us by the time you all read this. In fact, I know he won’t be here for Father’s day this year. I’m also sure that many of you that read this may have lost one or both of your parents and know the feelings of lost. It’s a sad time for all, especially when the deaths are so long and drawn out. The impact on the family is more then can be described in words. This year, instead of a fancy buffet for me for Father’s day, I think I’ll just walk down to the local pub and buy a round of Seagram’s 7 for everyone and toast my father, that was his favorite drink…
May 29th, Dad Passed away, he shall be missed…

Hi gang, welcome to another edition of the Howler. Although it’s hot and humid in Austin, that’s not stopping Good ole Grilldog. I’m here with another page of insights, salutes and news. So sit back with your favorite cold beverage and enjoy!

Grilldog TV!!!!
Special news Bulletin “Grilldog TV” is up and Running thanks to my friends up in San Francisco, the Injured Workers Group. Now every Friday Night from 8pm-9pm Pacific at http://injuredworkerstelevision.com/ You can watch another exciting episode or two of Grilldog presents.
NOTICE to all CAT/PAT stations!!!
Update, the server I use can’t handle the storage needed for my shows unless I pay a whopping upgrade so it’s going to be easier to mail them to you on DVD with 4 per episode as before. So if your station can’t afford Pegmedia any more, contact me and I’ll mail you the installments. Unfortunately, due to a family emergency I had to relocate out of San Diego to Austin TX and have been delayed getting out the next four pack. However, Great news! The DVD’s are going out this week! Hopefully!
Road Kill III: Battle for Supremacy update…
First, I’d like to say I’m sorry to the Traeger corporation, T&H Prime Meats and Sausages, NadaRed Vodka, Party Time Liquors, in El Cajon, Twin Oaks Winery, Jude Libermann and Lee Books, Bar Dog II, the gang at T&H Prime Meats and Sausages and Chef Billy “The Kid” for taking so long to edit and get the Road Kill III Battle for Supremacy edited and aired. However, It’s now completed. Yeah and ready to view, triple yeah!
Great News in Austin - The Weirdness is on the uprise exponentially.
Starting this month Channel Austin is not just going to be airing the entire series of Grilldog Presents on channel 10 but they are going to be streaming them too. Just one more opportunity for everyone to join in the Food, Fun and Friends of Grilldog Presents! Plus, we even have Austin Sponsors now, i.e. Pflugerville Propane, Black Dog Pub, The Meat House and Marisco’s Seafood Restaurant. But most impressively, BBQ’s Galore!
Being a Dad @ 50
1959 seems so far ago. My wife and I certainly are from different generations, that’s pretty evident when we play trivia pursuit at Wings n More. However, my son just being born in 2008 is certainly a new generation. I don’t even think we have a name for this one yet. I think the X Generation has been over for awhile. Maybe this will be the Obamatized generation! I certainly hope not. This point (generation gap, being a dad, etc) was asked of me a few days ago. A friend of mine was turning 50 and has never had children. However, recently, married or remarried, I don’t know, they want to have children, therefore, he was asking me what it was like being my age and having a toddler.
I think the problem with most parents is that they don’t tell other people what being a parent really is. It seems that @ 50, having studied sociology and psychology, to the point of getting a Masters Degree with a 3.96 GPA (out of 4), being a psychiatric social worker, a globe i.e. time traveler, etc that I would know pretty much everything there is…. NOT!
First of all, if I have a cold and snot comes out of my nose in a giant bubble, I’m calling the doctor. Poo only comes in one state, messy and stinky! However, I will leave all of that for now. Let’s refocus ourselves. I’m 50, have played competitive softball for 20 years, I even have been in international tournaments. I even have a gold medal however its a tad tarnished now. I’ve traveled the world and the last thing I’ve ever paid any mind to was my own health. Somewhere along the time lines of my childhood I decided I was invincible! Therefore, nothing like head dives into home plate or smashing my bike into a tree or jumping off the back of baseball stadiums (long stories). However, now I’m a Dad. I’m 50, I’ve a bad rotator cup, my knees feel like shredded glass when it gets cold and I don’t need a weather man to predict precipitation! Enough said. I now find myself, my body, my ailing psychically aged and tormented body, to be my 25lb toddlers favorite jungle gym, swing, climbing wall and of course, my favorite, a lazy boy recliner. Therefore, if you are considering having children, no matter at what age, besides the hours kids keep and everything else you’ve heard, be warned, be in shape. Now that’s some Good Grilldog Advice to Live By! Oh, for my next b-day, please send a Costco size bottle of muscle ointment, Thanks!!! Oh, and the worst part is he’s only 25lbs NOW, I’ve a lot of getting in shape to do!!! Cause he’s just going to keep growing and growing and growing and I’m getting older and older and older. Time for my nap!
Grilldog’s Progress Report for June.
Another new month of challenges for Good ole Grilldog. Don’t have any episodes scheduled to be filmed in June. I’ve a few surprises I’m working on but I’m waiting for feedback. I should have two more episodes ready by the end of the month and hopefully another four back by the end of July. Hopefully. So keep watching for the Howler each month, check out my website occasionally and don’t forget I’m on twitter, myspace and facebook, just for your convenience! Arn’t I a nice guy!
Jr Dog Update
Jr Dog loves the park and I take him there when ever I have the chance, at 18 months he loves the outdoors. He can’t get enough of the swings, sliding board and climbing all over his dad! Although we were in the shade he did get a sunburn. My fault, I’m not use to this Austin Sun, from now on I’m putting on him tons of sunscreen.
Available Mid June
Our latest 4 episode disc features:
#56 Bloody Sunday - Grilldog makes a variety of crazy Bloody Mary’s, actually it’s more of an around the world trip.
#57 Food of the Gods II: Truffles, this is a tribute to the Late Chef Nancy Belaise who passed away last year and was an inspiration to Grilldog and all that knew her. She is missed.
#58 Grilldog’s 50th Birthday Grilldog Grills up a batch of recipes, BBQ and BBQ accompaniments, a must see and tasty episode.
and
#59 Road Kill III: Battle for Supremacy - In Part 1 Grilldog and Billy start the prep on all 9 of their meats, i.e. Ostrich Fillets, Buffalo Tri Tips, Elk Steaks, Antelope Flank Steaks, Wild Boar Butt, Alligator Sirloin, Rocky Mt Oysters, Rabbit and Big Horn Sheep. In this episode Grilldog demonstrates and completes the Wild Boar Butt, Antelope Flank Steaks, Alligator Sirloin and Big Horn Sheep. In Part 2, Grilldog will demonstrate the remaining recipes as well as will find out the winner of the competition. Honestly, two cooks making 9 recipes each in a cook off, is a lot of hard work, but it was a lot of fun too.
Available towards the end of June or July
Episode 60 Road Kill III part 2
Episode 61 Grilled Stuffed Swordfish
Episode 62 Veritably Vodka

Grilldog Sightings: Grilldog has been seen at Chuck E Cheese’s, Marisco’s on 6th street, all over Channel Austin, Wings n More, Pflugerville Park, Black Dog Pub, riding his cycle in the rain on Interstate 35, tagging behind Grillpup at WalMart(s), Pflugerville Propane and the Pflugerville Animal Hospital on Pecan street, BBQ Galores in Bat Cave and generally all over Austin.
A Good Grilldog Tip To Live By for June:
Just remember that when you point your finger, 4 fingers point back at yourself. Don’t be quick to judge. Always ask yourself if what you are doing is really worthwhile. Remember, not making a decision IS a decision. Also, Mushrooms grow best in poop and in dark places, people don’t. Just remember, Not enough sun is just as bad as Not enough sun!
Four Paws and a Tail Salute award for this month goes to…
BBQ’s Galore in Austin and Bat Cave for their great service and dedication!
The Meat House in Bat Cave
Black Dog Pub for great customer service
and Pflugerville Propane.
Grilldog’s Hindleg Salute goes too…
The Austin Flea Market. # 8 in the country my ass. If you are ever in Austin and here the news about what a great flea market they have here, pass it up. Go to WalMart instead! It’s your basic flea market, the prices are a bit jacked up so I guess you have to barter with them. However, I can get just as good if not better merchandise at WalMart and a lot cheaper too. Plus, if it’s not what I wanted I can take it back. I can’t say that the flea market is a bad one. The reason I’m giving it a hind leg salute is because how pompous they are in comparing themselves with other flea markets around the country. My wife, Toddler and I cruised through the entire market in about 20 minutes, including a pee break.
note: yes they whined to me that there was a fire a couple years ago and they never really recovered and what is there now is about 1/3 of what it use to be. Sounds like a fire sale to me. I guess no one has decided to take the time to post anything new on their site only about how great it is still being viewed. Anyway, it’s a waste of time, don’t go there.
GRILLDOG’S RECIPE BOOK “GRILLDOG’S GUIDE TO FOOD, FUN AND FRIENDS”

Grilldog’s 2nd Recipe book Grilldog Turns 50 celebrates the first 50 episodes of Grilldog Presents. We are a bit behind but it’s going great. It’s not just going to feature ALL the recipes and tips of the 1st 50 episodes, it’s also going to have behind the scenes gossip of each show as well as new pictures. Plus, they’ll be a pick or two of each show’s handwritten scripts! Originals by Grilldog, detailing his plans for the episode. Certainly a collector’s edition! Actually, I haven’t done crap with the book in about 9 months, but it’s on my to-do list, as well as looking for my to-do list.
GRILLDOG’S 2nd RECIPE BOOK “Grilldog’s 50th Celebration”
is delayed!!
I’m still working on my second book, Grilldog’s 50th Celebration. This book is not just a synopsis and story guide to my first 50 episodes, it also contains all the recipes from all of the 1st 50 episodes. I know everyone has been asking for this so it’s on the way. I was hoping to complete the book and publish it on my birthday 10/18 when I turn 50, however, between work and traveling I think I’ll only have the draft completed by then. I’ll still have to add the photos and edit the text and add the table of contents etc.
Merchant ReSale Program.
If you are a merchant and would like to carry my book or DVD’s contact me for information. grilldog@grilldog.com and join in on the Grillpack of Fun, it’s a Howl!

The Howler Staff this issue:
Executive Editor, “Grilldog” with help from: Jr Dog, G-Man, G.G. and George, The Grillpack Review committee, the Grilldog Fan Club, various folks from the Grillpack of friends.
Special thanks to the folks at Lee Books and Jude Liebermann, who without, the show wouldn’t be the same.
And remember folks:
If you are not about Food, Fun and Friends, you are doing IT Wrong.
The World is neither Black and White nor Shades of Grey, when you open your eyes, you can see it’s really MILLIONS OF COLORS!
So Keep Grill’n and Chill’n and tell them, Grilldog Sent ya! You’ll be Glad You Did!
First of all, I’m sorry everyone for Last Month’s FU’s and WTF’s etc
I had rabies, the doctors gave me a bunch of distemper shots and I’m feeling better but not quite back to my megalomaniac self, yet! Which is why the Howler is late again, but not as late!
Personally, I think we live in a drug induced society, why do you need to buy illicit drugs when most doctors will zombie you out for free, or perhaps at least a 20$ co-pay, But I digress. I also want to say I’m sorry for all of those great people I know in San Diego that I didn’t have an opportunity to mention, especially, Grill Cat & Grill Pickle. I must say that after arriving here in Texas everyone’s favorite episode seems to be the Road Kill Episodes. They were all hoping that Grill Cat was still around for future episodes!
Grilldog TV!!!!
Special news Bulletin “Grilldog TV” is up and Running thanks to my friends up in San Francisco, the Injured Workers Group. Now every Friday Night from 8pm-9pm Pacific at http://injuredworkerstelevision.com/ You can watch another exciting episode or two of Grilldog presents.
NOTICE to all CAT/PAT stations!!!
Plus Great news for you all at the Public Access Stations. I know that Peg Media can be a problem to download from and they also started to charge you a fee for downloading shows. Therefore, I’m starting to put all of my episodes in .mov format on my FTP site. Therefore, if you want to download any of my episodes for free, just let me know and I’ll send you the log in information and password so that you can down load each episode at your convenience.
Road Kill III: Battle for Supremacy update…
First, I’d like to say I’m sorry to the Traeger corporation, T&H Prime Meats and Sausages, NadaRed Vodka, Party Time Liquors, in El Cajon, Twin Oaks Winery and Chef Billy “The Kid” for taking so long to edit and get the Road Kill III Battle for Supremacy edited and aired. I promise I’m going to be more on top of things from now on. The distemper shots are working. Maybe…. LOL. The behind the scenes episode just didn’t come out well at all and did nothing for my show. My back up drive died and I lost a lot of special effects and I had to have my computer tuned up and Jr Dog kept wanting to go to Chuck E Cheese. Therefore, I canned the entire idea and I’m now working on the real show (Chuck E Cheese has free Wi Fi LOL). It’s shaping up nicely. I’m hoping that will be ready around Mid May.
Great News in Austin - The Weirdness is on the uprise exponentially.
Starting in June Channel Austin is not just going to be airing the entire series of Grilldog Presents on 3 stations but they are going to be streaming them too. Just one more opportunity for everyone to join in the Food, Fun and Friends of Grilldog Presents! Plus, we even have Austin Sponsors now, i.e. Pflugerville Propane, Black Dog Pub and Marisco’s Seafood Restaurant. But most impressively, BBQ’s Galore!

Thoughts and Wishes for the Summer
I think everyone has their favorite time of year. I think mine must be the summer. I love the sun and perhaps it even goes back to my youth when the summer meant visiting relatives, playing on the Jersey Shore and not having any worries at all. Summer is also typically the time for vacation. I remember for the longest time my job had me traveling all over the world. I looked forward to my summer vacation when I would take a week or two off and just stay home (the one place in the world that I seemed to never be). Just sitting back in my hammock or pool with a cool adult liquid libation, my iTunes on or the 61 inch HD Surround Sound TV and just relaxing. Now it seems that when I go on vacation (somewhere other then my own backyard) I have to schedule it from Friday to Friday as my week (and a day) off, just so that I had two days to recover before going back to work. I don’t think I can say what the best vacation is for anyone. Nor can I provide profound Grilldog Wisdom for you. Basically, I believe a vacation should be the time when you do what you need to do in order to shrug off the responsibilities of the world and dig down into that lost child in your soul and do what ever it is you need to do for yourself. I think, often times, we think of ourselves last. I think even those people who are selfish and self centered even think of themselves last. Let’s face it, if you are cranky, think the world owes you and just sit in a corner waiting to snap and snarl at someone just to get your own way, you are not taking care of yourself. Therefore, this summer, take a moment with Grilldog and the Grillpack of friends and do something for yourself and relax.
Life @ 50
I was playing trivia with Grillpup at Wings n More off of Howard one Friday Night in Austin when one of the questions was, who made the rubber duckie song famous, Oscar the Grouch, Burt, Ernie, Big Bird or Kermit. Well, everyone knows it was Ernie who use to sing the rubber duckie song in the tub, or so I thought everyone knew that. Not only did Grillpup give me the “eye” for knowing the answer so easily, she actually cringed when I started to sing the song. Well, I’m over 50 and in some places I can actually get discounts for being over 50 (I’m still not sure about my feelings on that one!). But I digress. After that interlude I began to reflect on back where I was during those adolescent years when I learned the rubber duckie song (also remember, I remember a time when there was no Children’s Television Network or Sesame Street which spawned CTN). I remembered being in classes and discussing what the world would be like in the year 2000. Would we be living in the sky like George Jetson? Flying around in space cars (who would have thought we’d be riding around in “Smart Cars” Cars the size of match box cars, aren’t smart, they are just small). However, I remember thinking and pondering what I would be like in the year 2000. OMG I’d be 40 years old, surely dead, in a wheel chair, staggering around with a cane or at least in a nursing home with bad nurses that stole all my stuff while I drooled away in a dark corner with tubes stuck in me in God Only knows places (of which I didn’t want to think about). After all, at that time (back in the mid 60’s) everyone I knew that was 40, really looked old. They were balding, dead, in a wheel chair, staggering around with a cane pissing myself or at least in a nursing home with bad nurses stealing all my stuff while I drooled away in a dark corner with tubes stuck in me in God Only knows places and wishing that either a relative would make that rare stop and say howdie and/or that God would just get it over and done with pronto. However, with modern medicine we all now (for the most part) still have our own teeth, can get new hair, laser corrected eyesight and even mechanical limbs. Thanks to modern medicine we can get it sucked out and sucked in, again and again. Now a-days, for the most part, most of us around 50 only sit in a corner, drool and piss on ourselves when we’ve had too much to drink, we may stagger with a cane but that’s typically the bar stool, and the only ones that steal from us while we lay helpless are politicians like in California.
Therefore, being 50 isn’t what I thought it would be, in some ways it’s better. I never thought I’d have a 17th month old boy to cherish, nor have traveled as much as I have or many of a number of things too long to list. Most of all, I didn’t think I’d be internationally known, nor have my name (or stage name at least) mentioned on national TV. Of course on the down side of all of that, I have High Blood Pressure, High Cholesterol, Heart Disease, Hypertension, the onset of Diabetes, hair loss, sleep apneia and a few other ailments thrown in the batch for good measure. However, I’m working on all of these, as well as hydrating my cat every three days (that’s sticking a needle in her and pumping in saline for about 5 minutes). At least I’m not in a wheelchair, still have most of my hair, all of my teeth, even one wisdom tooth left, I don’t need any physical support, although I have been known to drool from time to time and about the only one that steals from me when I’m not looking is my toddler who must think that if Good ole Dad is eating or drinking something, it should be his too! I will continue my snippets of views @ 50 in future Howlers, so keep an eye or ear open!
Grilldog’s Progress Report for May.
Not sure how May is going to play out here. People are gearing up for Cinco de Mayo but it’s not as big here as it is in Southern California. I’ve hooked up with BBQ Galore for a show and I’m going to be part of their big Grand Opening of a new store on May 22nd. Basically, I get to sit around under a big banner and hope people by my recipe book and/or DVD’s LOL… After all I am on “As Seen on TV”, LOL. The kind folks at NadaRed are shipping me some Vodka so on May 8th we are going to be shooting an episode at BBQ Galore in which we use vodka in all of the recipes and there might even be a Martini episode in the near future as well. However, because of all of my above mentioned ailments the doc wants me to lose about 20 pounds. However, considering all that is wrong with me I’m sure he’s only trying to make the deal a bit lighter for the pallbearers! Taking the Docs advice I’m working on losing weight, even completely cut out liquor from my diet, not even a light beer goes past my lips. In fact I haven’t had a drink since 4-11 now that’s information for you! No, I’m not sitting in an AA meeting, nor am I on antabuse, I’m just sitting here, actually walking all over the place and doing what I can to live just a tad longer. Just think of all those ailments I don’t have yet that could possibly come! I don’t want to die now and miss out on all of that fun. In short, for May, I’ve a show on the 8th and an appearance on the 22nd. On the 8th I’ll be at the BBQ Galore on Brodie Street in Austin and I’ll have to post the location of the new store on the 22nd as soon as I have it. Otherwise, I’m just trying to send out another 4 pack of episodes to the stations around the world that broadcast the Food, Fun and Friends of Grilldog to all of their communities.
Jr Dog Update
Jr Dog is growing up nicely. He is wearing shoes now, I think they are actually Crocs, sort of shoes with holes in them. Not much good in the rain. Jr Dog seems to like it here in Austin. We live next to a playground with lots of things he can play on, we take him to Chuck E Cheese and he loves the little Carousel (that’s a Merry-Go-Round LOL). He also is becoming quite the picky eater. He seems to prefer his Dad’s cooking to anything else. It’s like if he sees me make it and eat it then he wants it too. I made ice cream once and now he won’t eat any other ice cream except the stuff I make (well mine is much better LOL). I post a lot of pictures of him on my facebook account. He’s just too cute to miss out on so feel free to take a peek and leave an adorable comment!
Latest shows Update
I finally, almost finished Road Kill III part one so I can put out my next 4 pack of episodes. Therefore, be on the look out for those in May. Plus, by the end of May I’ll have part II completed so you can see who won the ultimate Iron Chef Competition, Head Chef Billy “The Kid” from the Traeger Corporation or Good ole Grilldog. I do have to thank all the folks that donated supplies to that show in order to make it all happen, i.e. Traeger Wood Pellet Grills, T&H Prime Meats and Sausages in San Marcus, Party Time Liqueur in El Cajon, Joe’s Pizza in Clairmont Mesa, the World Market, Twin Oaks Winery, and Jude Libermann and Lee Books. Plus special thanks to my Key Grip Mike, whose help is invaluable.
Our first show filmed in Austin at the Black Dog Pub won’t be edited and ready for viewing till some time in June. Grilldog makes stuffed Swordfish and creamy Midori/kiwi sorbet.
future filming
May 8th, BBQ Galore, on Brodie in Austin
in the Editing Room
Black Dog Pub, Grilled Stuffed Swordfish and Midori/Kiwi Sorbet
Now Available
Nothing new is going to be available till the end of May. I will have a new 4 episode disc which shall feature:
#56 Bloody Sunday - Grilldog makes a variety of crazy Bloody Mary’s, actually it’s more of an around the world trip.
#57 Food of the Gods II: Truffles, this is a tribute to the Late Chef Nancy Belaise who passed away last year and was an inspiration to Grilldog and all that knew her. She is missed.
#58 Grilldog’s 50th Birthday Grilldog Grills up a batch of recipes, BBQ and BBQ accompaniments, a must see and tasty episode.
and
#59 Road Kill III: Battle for Supremacy - In Part 1 Grilldog and Billy start the prep on all 9 of their meats, i.e. Ostrich Fillets, Buffalo Tri Tips, Elk Steaks, Antelope Flank Steaks, Wild Boar Butt, Alligator Sirloin, Rocky Mt Oysters, Rabbit and Big Horn Sheep. In this episode Grilldog demonstrates and completes the Wild Boar Butt, Antelope Flank Steaks, Alligator Sirloin and Big Horn Sheep. In Part 2, Grilldog will demonstrate the remaining recipes as well as will find out the winner of the competition. Honestly, two cooks making 9 recipes each in a cook off, is a lot of hard work, but it was a lot of fun too.

A Good Grilldog Tip To Live By for May:
Just remember that when you point your finger, 4 fingers point back at yourself. Don’t be quick to judge. Always ask yourself if what you are doing is really worthwhile. Remember, not making a decision IS a decision. Also, Mushrooms grow best in poop and in dark places, people don’t.
Four Paws and a Tail Salute award for this month goes to…
BBQ’s Galore in Austin for their great service and dedication!
Black Dog Pub for great customer service
Grilldog’s Hindleg Salute goes too…
The Original Pancake house in Austin, there were only 4 tables being served and it took forever to get our order. Plus, I ordered their specialty home made hash and I was sick for days afterward. It also had no taste what so ever. I would have rather had Spam and Eggs and I hate Spam.

Grilldog’s 2nd Recipe book Grilldog Turns 50 celebrates the first 50 episodes of Grilldog Presents. We are a bit behind but it’s going great. It’s not just going to feature ALL the recipes and tips of the 1st 50 episodes, it’s also going to have behind the scenes gossip of each show as well as new pictures. Plus, they’ll be a pick or two of each show’s handwritten scripts! Originals by Grilldog, detailing his plans for the episode. Certainly a collector’s edition! Actually, I haven’t done crap with the book in about 9 months, but it’s on my to-do list, as well as looking for my to-do list.
GRILLDOG’S 2nd RECIPE BOOK “Grilldog’s 50th Celebration”
is delayed!!
I’m still working on my second book, Grilldog’s 50th Celebration. This book is not just a synopsis and story guide to my first 50 episodes, it also contains all the recipes from all of the 1st 50 episodes. I know everyone has been asking for this so it’s on the way. I was hoping to complete the book and publish it on my birthday 10/18 when I turn 50, however, between work and traveling I think I’ll only have the draft completed by then. I’ll still have to add the photos and edit the text and add the table of contents etc.
Merchant ReSale Program.

Pegmedia.org
Public Access Stations can now download a complete episode, I don’t have to spend all of my time burning and mailing DVD’s any more! Unfortunately, they are not charging 75 cents for stations to down load my show. Please down load them, it’s worth 75 cents, isn’t it?
That’s right the great folks at Pegmedia.org maintains a website for producers and public access stations alike. It’s free. All I have to do now is upload a Mpeg file to their sites and any of my shows can be downloaded from there. So if you can’t get Grilldog Presents on your local Public Access TV. Call them up now and complain! I’m only 1 click (maybe two) away from appearing on your TV!
However, if you don’t want to go to PegMedia, you can down load the .mov files from my file sharing space on the net for free. Just let me know you want to do that and I’ll send you the URL, user name and password. Currently, only the first 4 episodes and Road Kill III part one are available.
Items include, but not limited to, Caps, Mouse Pads, Mugs, T-Shirts, Clocks and even a THONG! The Thong was featured in the Pimp and Ho “Coo Coo Dog” Show!
(A THONG??? don’t ask, but it is exotically comfortable, I have one on now and I’m eating Cheetos!!!) Oh, if you do buy the thong, please, don’t send me pictures, I have a weak heart!

The Howler Staff this issue:
Executive Editor, “Grilldog” with help from: Jr Dog, G-Man, G.G. and George, The Grillpack Review committee, the Grilldog Fan Club, various folks from the Grillpack of friends.
Special thanks to the folks at Lee Books and Jude Liebermann, who without, the show wouldn’t be the same.
And remember folks:
If you are not about Food, Fun and Friends, you are doing IT Wrong.
The World is neither Black and White nor Shades of Grey, when you open your eyes, you can see it’s really MILLIONS OF COLORS!
So Keep Grill’n and Chill’n and tell them, Grilldog Sent ya! You’ll be Glad You Did!
1st I’d like to apologize for being silent for so long, that’s just not like Good ole Grilldog! So I’ll make it up to YOU!!!
1st a fun Game. Since this is April Fools Day, (Maybe a few days Late) which of the following is an April Fools Joke and which is not! LOL
Upon reading the Howler, you’ll find out the truth!
1. Grilldog is now in Austin, TX
2. Grilldog doesn’t air in San Diego
3. Grilldog has an on line store!
4. Grilldog and Grillpup are celebrating their 5th wedding anniversary today, April 1st.
5. Jr dog is a walking and talking machine!
6. our cats are scared!
But first, a WARNING, you all better be sitting down while reading THIS Howler Edition!!! The News Could be Shocking!!!
But before I get into my typical pompous prancing around I’d like to make the comment that I’m looking forward to 2010 and the future, I’m married to a wonderful woman, and I have a great child that I love more than life itself. So I can boldly say that at 50, I am blessed. With that being said, let’s move forward…After all, that’s what Grilldog’s do best!
Due to “Family” reasons, The Grilldog Pound of FUN has currently Left California, Land of the Sun Tax, Car Tax, Income Tax IOU’s, Income Tax Rebate Tax and my new favorite, taking money out of my paycheck as a loan tax! But Where in the World can Grilldog BE?
Gulp! says Scooby Doo
But before we get the Mystery Van rolling, first, let’s do a tad of catching up!
_________________________
I know I’m late for New Year’s wishes and thoughts but here goes…
Plus to make it up to you for my tardiness here’s one of my favorite commercials, it’s about a store similar to Costco but on the boarder of Germany and Denmark. Because it’s so expensive in Denmark to purchase the products the store is in Germany on the boarder and advertises to the Denmark folks to come across the boarder to buy, which is legal. Anyway here is there commercial for your enjoyment… may not be suited for immature audiences (but I watched it anyway).
LAST YEAR, (i.e. 2009) my family had a bad experience with a social group we belonged to i.e. the El Cajon VFW. What we thought was a friendly open community turned into a cliquish group where a few spoil sports would ruin the fun for others. You know ME, I was planning on writing a huge expose’, full of hind leg salutes, growling, barking and snarling. However, as I sit here and watch my 16 month old son running around the house terrorizing our cats (it’s his motivation) with no fears or worries I felt a warmth of joy and peace over come me. I instantly deleted the negative article and instead changed gears, like the Grinch whose heart grew on Christmas Morning, I chose to be positive, something I think ALL of us should try to do. Everyone knows that I’ve traveled a lot in my life. I’ve visited many communities, cultures and so forth. As always, I can safely say, there is more good out there than bad. Therefore, let’s all start the new year with warmth and joy in our hearts. I don’t know how many of you all out there have children, but if you can remember when they were infants and sleeping so soundly, either in your arms or in their cribs, their look of total peace and joy, knowing that you are there to protect them and love them. That is my Grilldog wish for the world this year. Let’s put away our pettiness, our self serving over estimation of our own self worth and realize, that we are all together, here on a small spaceship called Earth, hurtling through space. No one really knows where we started or where we’ll end. Plus, of course, none of us was there at the beginning and I certainly hope I’m not there at the end! It’s all really overwhelming when you think of it. Sort of makes me look at myself and realize that there’s a lot more important things out there in the world than just me, computer games, tv shows, what some internut’s opinion of me is or the latest gossip blog . SO… Happy New Year Everyone, (just a tad late) and God Bless us one and all, even the Scrooges, Grinch’s and the rest ( you all know who you are), in the world. Hopefully, like Scrooge and the Grinch, your hearts will grow and keep the spirit of Christmas in your hearts every day of the year. I know I do.
Grilldog Plays Santa
What could be a greater joy than playing Santa to tons of bright eyed boys and girls? Especially, if one of those kiddies is your own son? Of all of the employees in the Department of Defense Contract Company that I work for, they picked ME good ole Grilldog to don the Jolly Mon’s red and white suit, the beard, boots and the whole kit n kaboodle. I was honored! Each year the company selects a family in need to focus on and throws a pot luck Holiday Party, complete with ole St Nick himself. Each family member that attends brings a gift for their child and we put it in Santa’s pack. Santa then comes out and picks the gifts until all the children get one. Plus they get to have their pictures taken with Santa too. A heck of a much better deal than going to the mall.
Plus, what made this a special year, I got to play Santa. So my son’s first picture with Santa, Santa was his dad. Now how cool is that?
New Year’s @ 50
What’s it like starting a new year just after turning 50? If you look back in time, in the past 50 years, a lot of significant history has taken place, both good and bad. I remember watching the Vietnam war on TV and crying myself to sleep over the horror. I remember also seeing the assassination of JFK and Martin Luther King. It was bad whether or not there was a man on the grassy knoll, the one armed man or even Darth Vadar himself! There were lots of good stuff too. I remember watching the 1st Moon Launch, that historic first step! Of course I remember when dialing the phone actually meant dialing, we even had a party line (youngsters you’ll need to Google that one). Turning the tv channel required actually turning a knob. We actually rolled up the car windows and didn’t push a button. I was watching a rerun of Gilligan’s Island the other day and commented that I remember when it was a series on TV and how we couldn’t wait till the next season with new episodes, when someone stated, “Gilligan’s Island was a real show?!?” I even remember when the only diet soda you could get was Tab or Freshca and they tasted so nasty we dared our friends to drink one. In fact, I remember so much and have been involved in so many things that perhaps they’ll make a movie about it, however, it’d be so close to Forrest Gump, everyone would think it’s a rip off. Grillpup says, closer to Forrest Gump than you can imagine! (I guess she’s referring to the fact I can or at least use to, run very fast, but I doubt that was what she was referring to).
I’ve traveled to many places, including, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Washington DC, Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Kentucky, Florida, Oklahoma, Michigan, Arizona, California, Washington, Alaska, Hawaii, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Utah, Colorado, Indiana, Montana, Illinois, Kansas, Oregon, Missouri and West Virginia. As far as countries, I’ve been to Canada. Mexico, Japan, Portugal (I was even in the Azures - look it up), Germany, Spain, England, Italy and France. Needless to say, I’m well traveled. However, what does all of this mean? What am I trying to say? After all, communication IS the ability to say and listen and understand what the other person is trying to say. So don’t read anything into this. All I’m saying is that the world is bigger than you or me. So if you think you are so all important, maybe, just perhaps, you should take a step back or two and realize that we are all in this together. Rather than thinking how everyone OWES YOU something, perhaps you should consider, what can YOU do. It’s easy to Bitch and Moan and Complain, but don’t do that to ME, and my Grillpack of friends unless you have a real plan to make things better… otherwise I have better and more important things to do than to listen to someone who hates everything but doesn’t want to get involved other than bitchin! I’m old, I have a one year old son and I have more important things to do in my life than to listen to someone complaining and complaining and complaining, PEOPLE should get OVER themselves! Now THAT’S a good Grilldog tip to live by.
I guess the biggest thing in my life right now and I know is the most important thing in my life (and I don’t need my background in psychiatry to know this) is my 16 month old son. I’m not sure how much time I have left. None of us really know. For the most part about all the warning we even get when we die is, “Watch out for That BUS”! “What Bus” SPLAT! I hear all kinds of horror stories in the news about horrible murders and deaths of many people much younger than me. I hear stories of horrendous abuse against people and even young children. Even to the extent of Parents against their own children, torturing and killing them. I have the image of my young son in my mind and his innocent eyes and can not imagine the type of monster that could commit such a crime. They make those Hollywood monsters look almost preferable. Come on Count Dracula, no one would even notice you from the people I hear about in the news or see on the tele. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to pull over on the side of the road because the news about these atrocities to children and babies brings me to tears, and I would like all of those people who are pushing for stopping the death penalty to tell me what punishment they think a person who does these atrocities should have? Personally, I think our death penalty is way too lenient. If I were in charge, I’d just tie the bastard naked to the ground, give the victim’s relatives and the community members some of the most heinous rusted torturing devices that ever existed (the more rusty the better) and let them go at it. If we did that, I think there would be less people committing those crimes. Of Course since I’m living in Pflugerville,TX now I can own a gun and shoot any bastard coming after my son and I won’t aim for the heart either (if you get my drift. Oh, it’s going to be a BIG Gun too!
Anyway, after all of my travels and education, that’s what I’ve come to think after 50 years. Plus, I do have to end this essay with a statement that I’ve also come to experience and know this is true, there is a heck of a lot more good people in the world than bad. Either way, I’m going to take my Xanax and go to bed.
Why Aliens don’t visit Earth
Weather you are an X-Files fan or not, the odds are, there IS life outside of our little planet. The question is, why don’t we see them? Are they hidden among us like in the movie “Men in Black”? Are they A Government Secret like in Aliens vs Monsters or was that Monsters vs Aliens, I always forget, must be the meds! I believe “I” have the answer. It’s because Earth has HUMANS! I’m sure in the intergalactic Fodor’s Guide to the Universe, Earth has a huge red circle with a slash through it, Do Not Visit! Not because we are killers and have weapons of mass destruction or even the hiney flu (H1N1). It’s pretty much because we are idiots that have our heads up our ass 24/7 (which explains peoples shitty views of life). For all of our technology and knowledge, we’re pretty much a bunch of dumb bastards that seem to find reasons to hate each other. Not all of us, but enough of us to scare the scales off our intergalactic neighbors. Just look at this war we are in. A very small handful of educated people are living in caves (I’m talking dirt, cold, bugs, rocks, moss, a frigg’n cave, think about it! Where do they poo?) and controlling a ton of people with no eduction and telling them to go out and blow themselves up and kill innocent people. They are not attacking our military that has huge weapons to blow their silly idiotic selves to hell and back but they kill Moms, Pops and babies that have no more ammunition than a dirty diaper (and although I know for a fact a baby’s dirty diaper can be more deadly than any of those Insurgent’s Mustard gas, it’s not a reason to blow them up!) By doing so, these bastards are promised they are going to go to heaven and have a ton of virgin’s as their reward! Knock, Knock, get a clue McFly! If they are really sure that their goals are supported by THEIR GOD why don’t they just go out and fight our military rather than blowing up innocent Moms, Dads, and their little Kiddies. I can only think that these assailants are heartless monsters or just stupid assholes. No magnificent God in my imagination could ever support such heartless slaying of innocent lives. But I digress.
If that is true, that there are Aliens out there in the universe that are told to avoid us, why then do we see UFO’s? I think It’s sort of like at the zoo, or a hazardous zone, you see signs that say do not enter. They typically don’t tell you why you shouldn’t enter but most people just don’t enter because of the sign or the fact there’s a huge lion in the cage with huge big teeth. However, there are always a few idiots that just have to see for themselves, which is why we have UFO sightings, etc. It’s those extraterrestrial pot heads/stoners that just have to see for themselves. I’m not sure why they prefer anal probing, or bovine molestation (Alien refer must me potent) but after just one close encounter, the Aliens run back to space with their Tails and/or antennae between their legs. Which is why I’m not afraid of an Alien invasion. Aliens are too smart to bother with us idiots.
Grilldog’s Progress Report for 2010.
I appreciate everyone’s emails and concerns considering I’ve been out of touch for awhile. Everyone knows I have heart disease, high blood pressure, hyper tension, high cholesterol and basically falling apart at the seams. Plus, I’m getting very confused in my old age, for example. My Doctors ordered me to rest and then told me to walk 5 miles a day. Wait, walking 5 miles a day and resting, do they really go together? I have to admit that after walking five miles I do REST very well, but the walking is not resting! Duh. Next they started giving me a lot of great drugs! Here, Grilldog, take these, you’ll feel tons better. Then they told me the drugs are addictive and not to take them! OK, you prescribe me a drug to help me then tell me not to take it? Duh. Anyway, in short. I hope to be back in full swing soon. Of course giving hind leg salutes to protect public access tv against those political bastards taking kickbacks from the cable company in order to squash our freedom of speech. Please, do what you can to support your community TV. It’s your voice, your right and if you don’t use it, You WILL Lose it!
Years ago…
YEARS AGO when I was in college from 78-82 I joined a number of groups, committees and clubs. I went to a small religiously oriented college, Bridgewater College, in Bridgewater, VA, not Massachusetts. The school was run by the Church of the Brethren. The first organization I joined was the College’s Student Counselor Program. Of course I joined it because a girl (Kathy) I was interested in was joining and she asked me to join too (but that’s another story that never happened because now I’m married and nothing existed before then LOL). The Professor that ran this organization was Dr Brian Hildebran. He was a great guy and very supportive of the students and our personal growth and development. (Unlike other people I’ve met in my 50 years that are too numerous to mention and I have better things to do with my time to give them credit for having their heads stuck up their cheeks they don’t eat with). If memory serves me right, he would end each and every meeting with his favorite Poem. For many people, it was annoying and unappreciated. However, I tend to believe that the reason they felt it was annoying and unappreciated was because they were so caught up in their own self worth or low self esteem that they could not grasp the hidden message, actually, I don’t think the message was hidden at all. Anyway, Its message that I’ve tried to live by ever since 1978 when Brian first quoted it…
Isn’t it strange, that princes and kings,
and clowns that caper in sawdust rings,
and common-folk like you and me,
are builders for eternity?
To each is given a bag of tools,
a shapeless mass and a Book of Rules;
and each must make ‘ere time has flown,
a stumbling block or a stepping stone.
R.L. Sharpe, “A bag of tools,” circa 1809
At 50+ years of age, having my first child, a son, just over 1 year, I think about this and try the best I can to provide him with the good tools of knowledge and wisdom, with appropriate rules that are not too restrictive to provide him with the desire to explore and experience. It’s a tough call, and I’ll fail often, but I hope in the end my successes, Love and Support, provide him what he needs to build great stepping stones. Of course they’ll be stumbling blocks along the way but hopefully, with any failed attempt, knowledge gained and growth inspired. That is my wish, my hope and my dream for my son.

Goodbye, Farewell and Hello!
If you haven’t guessed by now, my lil Grill family isn’t in California, the land of Tax and Spend. Raising a family at any age is a combination of joy and grief. As any Dad I want the best for my son. Some people would say what could be better than growing up in Southern California, land of great weather, beaches and sun. Well, Great weather, beaches and sun aren’t really the number 1 priorities for raising a family. Not only are we being taxed out of existence, the state is now taking loans out of my salary. Not only that, if I actually do get a tax refund at the end of the year, they tax that! WTF?!?!?! The school systems here are a joke. No longer is English the number 1 language and there’s more illegal aliens in our schools than there are good ole USA kiddies. Plus, did you know an illegal alien in CA can go to a California college and only has to pay instate tuition while our bonafide USA out of state students have to pay a whooping out of state tuition? Now I certainly don’t want any pot smoking socialists out there getting upset with me, however, your illegal alien friends don’t pay any taxes. Therefore, me and the rest of the hard working Californian’s are taxed and taxed and taxed so these illegal aliens can get free medical care and education. The illegal aliens do absolutely nothing for our economy and way of life other than take and take and take and our California legislators like to give and give and give to them out of MY PAYCHECK!!! As Walter says in the Jeff Dunham show, “Screw YOU”.
Where to do and what to do? Well, we had a family crisis and I got the call. You know good ole Grilldog, always there, not just for Food, Fun and Friends but especially for family. Therefore, we loaded up the SUV and headed out to Austin. Actually, we are in a suburb of Austin called Pflugerville. It’s a very Pfun Pflace, they have lots of Pfairs, Pfestivals and a great place for a pfamily.
Grilldog’s overall 4 Paws and a Tail salutes and Hind Leg salutes for my 13 Years and 5 months in California Thus Far.
First, for my farewell Hind Leg Salutes- this should be entertaining
To all of the California politicians no matter who you are SCREW YOU!
To illegal Aliens, SCREW YOU
To anyone that wants to automatically make illegal aliens legal, SCREW YOU

To a certain micro brewer in San Diego that has his head up his ass because he thinks everyone is after a piece of him. I don’t need you, you idiot.
To the Ass Holes at the El Cajon VFW :-P~~~ FU and your bigotry. Not everyone there but just a few members there that have their heads up their ass! NO ONE bitches about my wife and son behind my back. You’re lucky I didn’t stick my foot up your ass. I would but you Assholes are always so drunk you’d never even know I did.
To A/G General Contracting and Painting Inc TRIPLE SCREW YOU! No one should ever use this company for any reason what so ever, call anyone else but them! Please post this in any blog you may write, spread the word.

Now here’s my 4 Paws and a Tail Salute for Austin!
Well, I’m not sure yet about their Public Access TV
I do love Wings n More in Pflugerville/Austin
Also, I do love BBQ Galores in Austin.
That’s about it for now.
How the Grilldog show Got Started, an update
If any of you read my Cook Book, Grilldog’s Guide to Food, Fun and Friends, you’d have read the intro the difference between Grill’n and BBQ’n. However, a quick read will prove it’s more of a satirical account than an actual recipe for my success. Therefore, since I’m leaving CA for new pastures I thought I’d take a minute and bring everyone up to date on the REAL Story.
As we turn back the hands of time to 1990 I was actually married to my first wife. Which if anyone out there other than me has been married before, we know that we don’t mention the first spouse, ever. However, it was how I got my start. She was a lawyer and I quit my job as a Social Worker to get married, probably a bad move in hind sight. Talk about your hind leg salutes LOL. Anyway, the deal was since I had to relocate to get married I quit my job and she said no worries, since I had to work my way through College and Grad school, take a few months off and do some things that you always wanted to do. So, with excitement I started taking acting lessons and volunteering at the local Public Access TV Stations. Very soon, it was realized that I had a knack for acting and the TV cameras loved me. Somehow, I could just make people laugh. It was then and there back in 1990 that I decided I wanted to have a cooking show on Public Access TV.
After awhile I started studying the shows on the Food Network. Deciding what I thought would work or not work for my show. However, all their shows seemed to be the same canned process over and over again and I wanted something different. But what? I had my recipes but how could I make my show different from everyone else’s? Then one day I was watching RR’s 30 minute meals. At the start of the show she claimed she was going to show you how to cook a complete healthy meal in 30 minutes. Insinuating that you could do what she was doing in 30 minutes. First she talked about how she spent the previous day shopping, obviously taking hours. Then she went into her fridge and pulled exactly what she needed from the bottom right hand corner of the fridge. Then she went to her cupboard and out of the bottom left hand corner she pulled out all the ingredients she needed, again, in the exact quantity/proportions that she needed for her recipes. Each time as she closed the doors, one on the fridge and one on the cupboard, you could see the space she took the ingredients from was empty. She then went on for about 7 minutes preparing her meal and went into Commercial Break. As she got back from the break her entire area was cleaned and polished, she had new knives (you can tell by the color of the knife handles) and she was about to start the second part of her completely fried “healthy” meal. Once again she went to the fridge and cupboard and to my astonishment, what was once emptied was now restocked with exactly what she wanted in the exact proportions for her recipes.
After this I started watching all the other shows and decided that it was time for something Different, something HONEST and Fresh… and that was my plan…
Like sands through the hourglass, so are the Days of our Lives. Now we move the hands of time. Due to relocation, costs, divorce, etc, my dream of a TV show was always put on hold. Although, the Department of Defense Contractors that I worked for continually sent me to different areas of the world and while there I studied, on my own, the different Cuisines, I never got the opportunity to make my dream come true.
Then I met Grillpup and my life was changed. I decided that if it was my dream to have a TV Cooking show, then I was going to do it. Therefore, taking my training and my knowledge of video production I set forth to produce one of the most unique cooking shows in the world. Who do I have to thank for it? Why all of you reading this of course. Because without your support and enjoyment of my show, I wouldn’t be enjoyed all around the world. I don’t write too well and Grillpup edits most of my stuff so it’s legible. I love her for all her help and now I have Jr Dog too. I love him so much. Although I’m leaving CA I hope and know that Texas will mean Bigger and Better things so let’s all wish for the best. Thanks!
What of Road Kill III? Who Won? Who’s Cuisine was supreme?
Well, you’ll have to wait for the show bwa ha ha. But because I’m in Good spirits, I’m going to reveal my script. Well, sort of. Now that’s a Four Paws and a Tail Salute if I ever heard one.
Here was my agenda
toss Wild Pork Butt on the Traeger Wood Pellet “Giant” Grill with Hickory Pellets
…cut up about 3 cups of scallions
… marinate a deboned and skinned rabbit with soy sauce, olive oil, w-sauce and Italian herbs
(note, T&H Prime Meats and Sausages has a special vacuum sealer that blows up the meat, then sucks the marinate in and vacuum seals. What would normally take 24 hours to marinate is completed in 1 - 2 hours that way)
… marinate Buffalo Tri Tip in Tequila
… Marinate Ostrich fillet in soy sauce, olive oil, w-sauce
… de-skin Rocky Mt Oysters and boil 90 minutes in water, balsamic vinegar, white & red wine vinegar and rice vinegar.
… It’s now been about 2 hours, toss the Buffalo Tri Tip in with the Wild Pork Butt.
… Make a curry sauce and marinate the Alligator
… Marinate the sheep cubes in my secret sauce (watch the video)
… coat Elk Steaks in a combination of crushed red/green and white peppercorns) and toss on Traeger Grill with Fruit wood pellets
… Make Elk Steak Sauce (watch Video)
… wrap Mt Oysters in Pork Belly Bacon and grill with Fruit pellets
…Make Mt Oyster Sauce (i.e. a pomegranate n wine sauce)
… make rice
… Grill sheep cubes wrapped with dough (sheep in the blanket)
… wrap Antelope Flank Steaks in dough with Apple sauerkraut and put on grille
… make peanut satay sauce for alligator and grill alligator
… Grill ostrich and make ostrich sauce
… make Rabbit pizza with spinach pesto sauce with a couple dabs of cream cheese
…make wild pork butt sauce
… make fettuccine pasta
.. make tri tip sauce
well, those are my notes so you’ll have to watch the show to really know what was going on. Yes, I’m evil that way LOL
I actually lost all of my recipes in packing for the move. So you and me both will have to wait till I edit the show to find out the recipes LOL
All I can say is that I know Billy Cheated!!!! LOL
Billy won 5 recipes to 4. However, everyone agreed that my Mt Oysters were the best recipe of the day. I harbor no ill feelings although, there were no real judges, everyone that tasted our food got an opportunity to vote and not all voted. However, to say that I went head to head with a REAL Chef from a Major Corporation and only lost by 1 point, as well as, having the best recipe of the day, well, that’s pretty damned good in my book.

Jr Dog Had a Great Christmas!
Of course the Christmas got started with Good ole Grilldog Playing Santa. We ended up at the Lakeside VFW for a Pot Luck and had lots of fun. We actually prefer the Lakeside VFW to the El Cajon VFW for a number of reasons. But I won’t go into that, because I’m too big to point fingers at bigots and petty minded assholes. Jr Dog got lots of presents and we have a lot of new friends. I had a lot of sales during the holiday for my DVD’s and Recipe Book.
Jr Dog took his first couple steps around the 10th of January. I have been taking him to the tennis court with his walker and he just goes at it and at it and at it, while I sit in my chair with a cool beverage. Plus, he thinks I’m the greatest for doing this LOL! Well, I am a great Dad
Now since I’m late writing this, at the end of January, Jr dog is walking GREAT and in a few weeks I’m sure he’s going to catch up to our cats!
Now at the end of Jan, he’s walking great and doing wonderful! I think he walks better then I do LOL
Grilldog’s Sabbatical is OVER!- That’s right gang. I’ve finished editing our Bloody Mary Episode, a ton of recipes using Jerky as an ingredient! We also finished our chocolate peanut buttercup episode, our tribute to chef Nancy. Plus we are hot in the making of Road Kill III, Battle for Supremacy. You can see it all for free at www.grilldog.com or watch it on Public Access TV for the full “Splat” effect. It’s looking like a great year. We’ll probably be making less shows but focusing more on Quality Shows. But don’t worry, more splats, pratfalls and mistakes are still on the menu. Plus, what awesatious menus we have planed for 2010. However, I’m not releasing the details till later bwa ha ha ha.
Having taken so long to start work on the Bloody Mary Episode I forgot how funny it was. The problem I’m had editing the show is that there’s just so much hilarity that I had to edit a lot of it out just to show what ingredients I’m using. However, it’s a great show, new guests, lots of fun, new products, we introduce Flame Discs and Grill Charms. Plus the house of Jerky donated a ton of Jerky for the show. We used different flavored Jerky to go with the different styles of Bloody Mary’s we were making.
Chocolate Peanut Buttercups - In this episode we pay tribute to chef Nancy. She’s my good friend that was battling kidney disease and had been helping me with a lot of recipes. The last show we were working on before she passed away was the peanut buttercup episode, so we are dedicating that to her. The World has Lost a True Friend.
Now you can get a copy of the CD without having to track them down at one of their shows - though they would really like to see you in person!
Their album “Gone Away, Someday” is now available at CDBaby.com
Plus, they gave Good ole Grilldog Permission to include their hit Going Fishing on his Fishing Episode! Now that deserves a four paw and a tail salute!

Jr Dog Update:
Jr Dog has 6 teeth in and can really gnaw down on Jerky from the House of Jerky. He sampled the dried Pineapple and had so much drool I had to get a mop! He is also moving and grooving, in fact, he can even stand on his own and walk now. I believe getting up to chase the cats is his primary motivation to get moving faster.
He certainly doesn’t like watching TV at night any more when he’s tired and prefers a nice quiet room with soft music playing. He is also recognizing all the different places we typically go too. He especially enjoys Marrietta’s Mexican Sunday Champagne Brunch. NO he doesn’t have the Champagne, that’s for DADA!
We’ve also been testing him by giving him different types of food to sample. 13 months Jr Dog loves, pickles and onions (preferable at the same time, Grillpup shudders), Fruit Yogurt, his daddy’s ice cream, we learned the hard way not to give him chocolate after 7 - he changes!!!, potatoes, tomatoes, he especially likes salsa as long as we take the jalapeños out of it. He actually does like a bit of spice on his food (brings a tear to my eye, you know he’s MY BOY). He doesn’t like meat unless it has a sauce on it and he loves rice, macaroni, especially macaroni n cheese (who doesn’t). He actually does like to gnarl on the House of Jerky’s Jerky, it’s the only Jerky I allow in my household. He also likes corn, broccoli, cauliflower, avocado’s and bean sprouts. He’s going be a good eater. Oh, he prefers Fruit Loops over Cheerios. Plus, I found I can train him to do anything with a Cheeto reward!
OH Plus we had his pictures taken at one of those professional places for Christmas
Grillpup
Grillpup is having a great time being a stay at home mom, She spends much of her time playing on line games and writing Blogs while Jr Pup watches GSN and Animal Planet, Jr Pup likes to watch the animal tricks. Oh, she also did our taxes. Cool.
Grilldog was sighted all over San Diego Until March 1st.
You could still have caught Grilldog occasionally at O’ Conners in La Mesa, the Blarney Stone in El Cajon and once in a great while at Kristy’s in Point Loma. Plus we love the people at the Lakeside VFW. Even if you are not a Veteran you are welcomed Saturday Afternoons when they serve Cheeseburgers at a great price and on Sunday Mornings for an awesatious brunch. We’ve also seen him at T&H Prime Meats and Sausages in San Marcus. Otherwise, he’s been a bit quiet. Oh, you can see him walking downtown El Cajon everyday for his five mile relaxing walk.
OK, I still like, Applebee’s on Jamacha Rd in El Cajon; We love to hang out at Applebee’s on Jamacha in El Cajon. The staff there are great and we love their happy hour prices on beef sliders!
You couldn’t find him in any Mall. Bah
Grilldog’s tip for New Year’s Day
Drink Plenty of bloody Mary’s with Nada Red Vodka and House of Jerky’s Jerky, you’ll be glad you did.
Four Paws and a Tail Salute award for this month goes to…
Jr Dog! who better?
Grilldog’s Hindleg Salute goes too…
A certain Association located on Commerce Street in El Cajon, who pissed me off with their petty minded cliques and inappropriate respect for decency and respect. Oh, the place has glass shards in their carpet, someone call the health department.
We are also giving a Hind Leg Salute to On the Border in El Cajon for having the worst customer service in East County. Although the manager apologizes and tries to make up for it, let’s just say the folks that work there are pretty rude and you won’t see me there again.

I was hoping to complete the book and publish it on my birthday 10/18 when I turn 50, however, between work and traveling I think I’ll only have the draft completed by then. I’ll still have to add the photos and edit the text and add the table of contents etc.

Public Access Stations can now download a complete episode, I don’t have to spend all of my time burning and mailing DVD’s any more! Unfortunately, they are not charging 75 cents for stations to down load my show. Please down load them, it’s worth 75 cents, isn’t it?
That’s right the great folks at Pegmedia.org maintains a website for producers and public access stations alike. It’s free. All I have to do now is upload a Mpeg file to their sites and any of my shows can be downloaded from there. So if you can’t get Grilldog Presents on your local Public Access TV.

Items include, but not limited to, Caps, Mouse Pads, Mugs, T-Shirts, Clocks and even a THONG! The Thong was featured in the Pimp and Ho “Coo Coo Dog” Show!
(A THONG??? don’t ask, but it is exotically comfortable, I have one on now and I’m eating Cheetos!!!) Oh, if you do buy the thong, please, don’t send me pictures, I have a weak heart!
PLUS Don’t forget his Recipe Book and Official Ball Cap! Go to www.grilldog.com for all the information.
NOW not only do I sell my recipe books, hats and DVD’s at my live filming, I also have caps, exactly like what I wear on the show! Well, it’s a slightly newer design then you all have seen in the past but it’s what I’ll be wearing starting with the Peanut Butter Cup Episode.

Jr Dog turned 1, It was an awesatious party and a great turn out at the VFW in El Cajon.
I showed up a day early and made a ton of Lasagna, baked Mac n Cheese. We also had hot dog’s, baked beans and much more. Plus Grammy (a friend of mine) made a great clown cake. Grillpup brought a smash cake especially for JD. It took a minute and some assistance from Good ole Grilldog but soon JD was diving into his first cake!
Thanks to everyone that made the party and all the Great Gifts!
Grilldog is on Sabatical - That’s right gang. With the Holidays here I’m swamped and far behind in editing shows already filmed. Therefore, until the end of January I amle not going to produce any more shows. However, don’t worry, once I finish putting together my DVD for Jr Dog (aka JD) I will start editing and providing more great shows like, Bloody Mary, Grilldog turns 50 and the Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Episodes.
Road Kill III Battle for Supremacy - On Saturday January 23rd 2010 the Ultimate Battle for Supremacy.
Salute to0 Salina Kansas for airing my other Road Kill shows more then any other Station in the WORLD.
As you know the Road Kill Shows are synomis with Grilldog and are the shows that made him an International sensation. So much show, the guys at Traeger Corporation Challaged Good ole Grilldog to a Road Kill Cook-off at T&H Prime Meats and Sausages in San Marcus. They’ll be plenty of free food for ya, there’s beer and wine for purchase. Plus, there won’t be any Football that Saturday, so what else do you have to do other then come Out and Join in all the Food, Fun and Friends from 10am-4pm
Road Kill III’s menu is looking like, Javalina, Elk, Bear, Caribou, Pheasants, King Salmon and Foie Gras, hopefully, PETA will be there to picket…LOL
Now you can get a copy of the CD without having to track them down at one of their shows - though they would really like to see you in person!
Their album “Gone Away, Someday” is now available at CDBaby.com
Plus, they gave Good ole Grilldog Permission to include their hit Going Fishing on his Fishing Episode! Now that deserves a four paw and a tail salute!
_____
Teasers of upcoming shows…
Nothing planned till Road Kill III. I’ve got too many shows to edit, a new job and Jr Dog needs me.
ROAD KILL III: BATTLE FOR SUPREMACY… Jan 23rd at T&H Prime Meats and sausages. It’s going to get Bloody! Now if that doesn’t grab your attention nothing will. I’m hinting at Javalina, Elk, Bear, Caribou, Pheasant, King Salmon, and Foie Gras! Don’t ask how they are considered road kill; just go with the concept!

Jr Dog Update:
Jr Dog has 4 teeth in and can really gnawl down on Jerky from the House of Jerky. He sampled the dried Pineapple and had so much drool I had to get a mop! He is also moving and groving, in fact, he can even stand on his own now. I believe getting up to chase the cats is his primary motivation to get moving faster.
He certainly doesn’t like watching TV at night any more when he’s tired and perfers a nice quiet room with soft music playing. He is also recogonizing all the different places we typically go too. He especially enjoys Marrietta’s Mexican Sunday Champagne Brunch. NO he doesn’t have the Champagne, thats for DADA!
Grillpup
Grillpup actually walked to the 7-11 with us Thanksgiving Morning! She also made some great scrambled eggs and instant hashbrowns. Jr Dog liked them too.
Grilldog was sighted all over San Diego
VFW in El Cajon. The folks at this VFW are great. They all have adopted Jr Dog and he loves them too. We like to go there Monday evening for burger night and Thursday for Ribeye steak night. Plus on Sunday’s they have a dart tornament. However, they were closed on Thanksgiving but I ran into our favorite gang at the New Grand in El Cajon.
San Diego Zoo. Jr Dog was hat also sited there. For the Thanksgiving Holiday I took Wednesday and Friday Off so that I could take JD to the zoon and on Friday n Saturday have a giant Garage Sale. Jr Dog and I had a Great time at the Zoo. Grillpup stayed home on the computer while we went off on
Applebee’s on Jamacha Rd in El Cajon; We love to hang out at Applebee’s on Jamacha in El Cajon. The staff there are great and we love their happy hour prices on beef sliders!
Home Town Buffet in El Cajon This should be in a new Category tittled Grilldog’s WTF section. Like WTF was I doing at the Home Town Buffet? Plus it was on Thanksgiving DAY! In the midst of designing an awesatious Thanksgiving Day Dinner, Grillpup was dispondent because she wanted Home Town Buffet. So we went. Jr dog loved the blue rashberry slushie. More on HTB in the hind leg salute section of this month’s Howler!
Grilldog’s tip for the Month
Have a Very Merry Christmas and Don’t Drink and Drive.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not worried about YOU! I drive a scooter, on the Highway and I know how people drive SOBER! It’s ME I’m concerned for.
Four Paws and a Tail Salute award for this month goes to…
The VFW in El Cajon and the New Grand in El Cajon.
The VFW earns this month’s Salute for being one of the friendliest places I’ve ever been too.
The New Grand earned this prize title for being the only pub opened all day on Thanksgiving and providing a full turkey dinner spread for free for everyone.
Grilldog’s Hindleg Salute goes too…
Home Town Buffet. They made me sick. There was so much salt in all the food I almost had a heart attack during dinner. The turkey they served was one of those that had been injected with salt water to make it plumper and cook more juicy. Someone contact my cardiologist PLEASE! Grilldog News Flash.
Yes, we are now streaming all of our shows! Yeah!

DON’T FORGET THE PERFECT CHRISTMAS PRESENT WOULD BE GRILLDOG DVD’S AND RECIPE BOOK!
Grilldog Turned 50 - Now that will be a once in a life time show!
I have to thank Jacob Keppler, Proprietor of T&H Prime Meats and Sausages in San Marcus, for all the Meat he donated to the show/party. We had a Ton of brisket and pork butt and you could tell right away it was quality meat. I took off of work on Friday in order to shop and cook for the event on Sunday. My Birthday is actually 10/18 and I was born on a Sunday, so you know Sunday’s child is special! I know Sunday Morning as I was preparing everything, I was sweating like a hound dog, cutting brisket and pulling my pork. I also made a Jack Daniels BBQ sauce for the Pork, Grilled Red Potato n Hungarian sausage salad, Jicama slaw and JD grilled beans (all recipes from my book).
We had the party at the VFW in El Cajon and everyone had more than enough to eat. I will be making an episode out of it so you can catch all the fun, Excitement and Grilldog’s words of wisdom!
Jr Dog Turns 1 Year Old - by Invitation only! It’ll be a huge party, lots of food, a cash bar and much much more. If you are interested in attending, drop good ole Grilldog a line. It’ll be at an undisclosed location in El Cajon starting at 3pm on Nov 15th. Trust me, they’ll be TV’s with the games on if you are worried. He’s going to slay the ladies when he’s older, he’s so cute!
Road Kill III Battle for Supremacy - On Saturday January 23rd 2010 the Ultimate Battle for Supremacy. While picking up some meat at T&H for my b-day I ran into Billy “The Kid”. I could tell it was him by all the trash talking he was doing. I could tell he was waffling already, saying oh, Grilldog, I’m getting Married in December, I’m not sure if I’ll have time to prepare for the show, you know, added responsibilities of being a husband and wanting to work on having a child. Having to work at having a child, is he a virgin? Jeesh! Oh, he couldn’t make my B-day party either, I forget the excuse for that one but I’m sure he didn’t want to be humiliated by all the great food I prepared. Well, “Kiddo” We’ll just see come January now won’t we LOL…
Reprinted from last month: Continuing our Road Kill theme, we’ve got exotic meats that even Iron Chef Japanese would admire as well as a battle for KING of the Grill. So far we’ve got Grill Cat, Jr Dog and Grillpup all confirmed to be there. Plus, there’s been some behind the scenes TRASH Talk from “Billy the KID” of the Grill who audaciously has been barking all over the INTERNET that he’s a better Dog at the Grill than Good ole Grilldog. Therefore, he’s challenged Grilldog to a Grilloff, so this just isn’t a typical show. There’s going to be some trash talking, meat slinging and Billy the Kid is going to go DOWN! So if you are in the San Marcos area around 10am - 4pm on Jan 23rd stop on by T&H Prime Meats and Sausages and participate in the battle for Supremacy, Grilldog vs a dude from Traeger who has the audacity to call himself the KING of the grill! You know this is the event to be at! Who will win? Whose Cuisine will Reign supreme? Be THERE!
Actually Billy’s a good guy, it’s fun having your own blog where you can pick on people LOL…
Road Kill III’s menu is looking like, Javalina, Elk, Bear, Caribou, Pheasants, King Salmon and Foie Gras, hopefully, PETA will be there to picket…LOL
Food of the Gods II - Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups “A tribute to Chef Nancy Belaise aka Chefy”
The show came off great although I still have one more scene to shoot. I want to have a scene using Nadared vodka www.nadared.com where we are all sitting around making chocolate peanut butter cup martini’s, but no one showed for the shoot! However, we did film making the Candies, and it was great to have a new attractive co-host “Chantel” whose actually a professional actress. You may have seen her on the MOR furniture commercial on TV. Plus we had Nadared Vodka, and we got to use our Tailgate Party Mates. It was great show, can’t wait to edit it.
Now you can get a copy of the CD without having to track them down at one of their shows - though they would really like to see you in person!
Their album “Gone Away, Someday” is now available at CDBaby.com
Plus, they gave Good ole Grilldog Permission to include their hit Going Fishing on his Fishing Episode! Now that deserves a four paw and a tail salute!
_____
Teasers of upcoming shows…
Nothing planned till Road Kill III. I’ve got too many shows to edit, a new job and Jr Dog needs me.
ROAD KILL III: BATTLE FOR SUPREMACY… Jan 23rd at T&H Prime Meats and sausages. It’s going to get Bloody! Now if that doesn’t grab your attention nothing will. I’m hinting at Javalina, Elk, Bear, Caribou, Pheasant, King Salmon, and Foie Gras! Don’t ask how they are considered road kill; just go with the concept!
____________
Grilldog is on Twitter, find out what Grilldog, Grillpup and Jr Dog are up to… user Name “The_Grilldog”
Some unscrupulous person already took “Grilldog” on Twitter… ahhhhhh the insanity! The Unoriginal Cretan! They don’t even twitter! Let’s Spam him LOL (hey if you live in Crete Indiana and relocate, are you an excretion?)
____________________________
Filming and appearances in November:
None, I’m on break LOL Happy Holidays
Please, if you run into Grillpup, give her a supportive hug, she still doesn’t understand why my 11 month old son and I communicate so well, guess we are just on the same level! Jr Dog is just like his dad, he drools, belches, has stinky gas and no one seems to understand him. I think the biggest difference now is that Jr Dog tries to take HIS diapers off when he makes a big #2!
And now on to my regular pompous parading and prancing propaganda! October here we come!

Jr Dog Update:
Jr dog can’t wait til his first birthday. He now has 4 teeth and more hair than his daddy, which isn’t really saying much. He’s standing and trying to walk. However, he does fall on his head a lot, but then again, I do too.
Grillpup
Grillpup feels there’s too much testosterone in the house. The only other female around is Amber our Siamese Cat and she’s a psycho.
Grilldog was sighted all over San Diego
Grilldog was sighted at the new Broken Pinata in El Cajon, formerly Thortons, formerly Goody’s. Evidently, they are remodeling and plan to get rid of the old stench! However if you own a pub in El Cajon and charge 4 bucks for a bud lite, not too many people are going to be stopping in.

I know everyone has been asking for this so it’s on the way. I was hoping to complete the book and publish it on my birthday 10/18 when I turn 50, however, between work and traveling I think I’ll only have the draft completed by then. I’ll still have to add the photos and edit the text and add the table of contents etc.

NEWS From “EAST County”
East County is the place to be: It’s where Jr Dog Lives!
Viejas is opening a state of the art Bowling Alley. However, due to open now, it’s delayed til early 2010. That’s right gang, I’m hoping that it’s cheaper than some of these other bowling alleys around town but we’re psyched. You know Grillpup and I will be checking it out when it opens. I can’t wait for Jr Dog to toss his first ball down the alley. Do you all know I remember when I was barely able to walk and my dad let me push his ball down the alley. I remember that first ball slowly rolled down the alley and made a strike!

GRILLDOG Takes a Bite out of Communism! WHAT??? WTF!!!!!!
Plus Much More… Say It Isn’t SO!
1. GRILLDOG TAKES A BITE OUT OF COMMUNISM!
NADARED VODKA, Nadared Vodka means NO to Communism. You can visit them at www.nadared.org. Drink their Vodka and you’ll be drinking for World Peace, check out their website to find out how! www.nadared.org
PRLog (Press Release) – Aug 24, 2009 – Nadared Intl’ is a new organization dedicated to providing aid to hospitals and orphanages in politically oppressed countries. Daniel Cabo, the President of Nadared Int’l says, “The system in these countries is not only stealing the people’s individual freedom, but also is not providing them with the basic necessities they need to survive.” Nadared will be raising the funds by selling their double gold medal award winning vodka. It boasts an organic label and a 99.9% silica lead-free bottle. It is triple distilled from natural grain and made right here on American soil. Nadared will be helping these institutions by donating 100% of their net profits and directly providing the materials and resources they need without third party involvement. Nadared vodka is hitting the San Diego market this week. Nadared organization was founded in 2007 by a group of individuals who wanted to participate in making this world a better place. We got together in hopes of helping people who are unfortunate enough to live in the oppressive political regions in the world. We felt like the “system” in these countries is not only stealing their individual freedom, but also is not providing basic necessities for many of them to survive.
Grilldog fans, you all know how I am always barking in assistance to the Under Dogs of the world. After all, Grilldog is better than Lassie, Rin Tin Tin Tin, Old Yeller and the Littlest Hobo! (you all might want to look that last reference up, I’m old remember!) We feel that if everyone just shut the heck up, invited everyone over for a friendly back yard BBQ all world problems would be solved and there would be World Peace. OH, downing a chilled Vodka Martini wouldn’t hurt either. Therefore, we are proud that Narared has Joined the Grillpack of Friends and providing our show with not just an award winning quality triple distilled vodka but an opportunity to help thwart Communism and the down trodd’n world wide. So join Grilldog and toast with Nadared for World Peace! Plus, we’ll be using Nadared exclusively for our vodka in all our recipes, including our world famous Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Martini’s (we’re filming 10/3 in El Cajon, if you are interested in assisting (drinking), contact good ole Grilldog for an invite and directions. grilldog@grilldog.com.) I’ll put some Burgers on the Grill and demonstrate my Grill Charms, and we can sample McCoys Thick Hot Sauce too!
Tailgate Playmate OMG, you have to go to their URL and check this sucker out! Perfect for the Tailgaiter, the camper, beachcomber or just for your next block party. Two heavy duty and sturdy tables that swivel around on arms attached to your trailer hitch. Hook up and party at your next tailgating party, you’ll be the envy of all! Grillpup loves them because they are great at the Drive in too!
McCoys THIS hot Sauce, I am currently working on recipes with this HOT Sauce. The interesting thing about this one is that it’s a THICK Hot Sauce. It uses natural ingredients and really has a nice taste! http://www.putthisonit.com/

You know there’s going to be HUGE Celebration for Grilldog’s Number 1 Fan, Jr Dog. Well, Grilldog is Jr Dog’s #1 fan, so that goes without saying. Therefore, Grilldog is planning something very spectacular. Of Course everyone is invited. I don’t want to post the location, but it will be in East County and if you are interested in attending please let Grilldog know. He’ll be supplying all the food and there’s going to be a cash bar (no credit cards or checks).
Now you can get a copy of the CD without having to track them down at one of their shows - though they would really like to see you in person!
Their album “Gone Away, Someday” is now available at CDBaby.com
Plus, they gave Good ole Grilldog Permission to include their hit Going Fishing on his Fishing Episode! Now that deserves a four paw and a tail salute!

GRILLDOG’S ADULT WARNINGS - Offensive Content in several Episodes.
OMG Salina Kansas banned Episode 50, Recipes for Romance. Why! Because I filmed in a strip club! LOL… Everyone had their clothes on! What’s up with that? However, soon we’ll be streaming all our shows so the Good folks at Salina and elsewhere can see all of Grilldog, Un Cut!

Grilldog is on Twitter, find out what Grilldog, Grillpup and Jr Dog are up to… user Name “The_Grilldog”
Some unscrupulous person already took “Grilldog” on Twitter… ahhhhhh the insanity! The Unoriginal Cretan! They don’t even twitter! Let’s Spam him LOL (hey if you live in Crete Indiana and relocate are you an excretion?)
____________________________
Filming and appearances in= October:
I’ll be at O’Connor’s Irish Pub and Sports Bar in La Mesa on October 10th
You can catch all the updated information as always at www.grilldog.com
Please, if you run into Grillpup, give her a supportive hug, she still doesn’t understand how come my 10 month old son and I communicate so well, guess we are just on the same level! Jr Dog is just like his dad, he drools, belches, has stinky gas and no one seems to understand him. I think the biggest difference now is that Jr Dog tries to take HIS diapers off when he makes a big #2!
And now on to my regular pompous parading and prancing propaganda! October here we come!

Jr Dog Update:
Jr dog at 10.5 months is starting to read. What a Great kid! He has 2 teeth and more on the way, still can stink up the neighborhood with a good poo (that’s MY BOY!) and he just loves his daddy! His very first words were “Hi Daddy!” That’s my Boy (my eyes are filling up). We’ll probably have to start toilet training soon since he obviously doesn’t like a dirty diaper. As soon as he gets a good load built up he tries to take the diaper off! Now how do you get an infant to understand that the porcelain God is your friend?! Maybe I should consult with some local college students I know! They seem to be ritualistically hugging it every Sat and Sun Morning! OMG, it’s so cool, it’s my Friend, I’ll never Drink again, GOD I promise, I swear! LOL
Grillpup
Grillpup feels there’s too much testosterone in the house. The only other female around is Amber our Siamese Cat and she’s a loner.
Grilldog was sighted all over San Diego
Grilldog’s new hang out, the VFW in El Cajon! Grilldog was volunteering in the kitchen and I hear he made some awesatious beef stir fry and egg drop soup! So I’ll salute the VFW and all of our fighting guys and gals in the services, good job all!
Grilldog, Billdog and the Gang from Traeger were seen scheming at T&H Prime Meats and Sausages, I think I heard them mention Road Kill III.
Grilldog was sighted at Felicita Park in Escondido enjoying a reunion with the old members of Unlimited Adventures Club of San Diego. They were a social recreation group that disbanded when one of their members left the group and attempted to usurp all of the members. Unfortunately, that led to the doom of the group and the new “off shoot” group soon ran itself into the ground. Now, years later the group got back together for a big picnic. Felicita park was chosen because they still allow beer and wine there!
Grilldog’s tip for the Month
If you happen to be in El Cajon and hanging out at the Blarney Stone and you run into a fun loving dude named NICK and he’s been drinking Tequila and he promises to do something for you, like bring food to a show, take the promise with a grain of salt. That tequila could kill ya LOL…
Four Paws and a Tail Salute award for this month goes to…
A special salute to all the men and women at the VFW who have adopted Jr Dog as their new Grandson. Jr Dog has more Grandparents then any other kid I know!
Also to Brynn (daughter of Bar Dog II - my new camera man and key grip) who provided all the liquor for our Bloody Sunday, Bloody Mary episode! Grilldog’s Hindleg Salute goes too…
Farts…
Not much annoys good ole Grilldog, I’m such a fun loving Pup, however once in while someone just deserves the ole Hind Leg salute and this month we have two Award winners.
1st, if you don’t know this, Grillpup served in the Navy during the 1st Persian Gulf War. That makes her a Veteran of a Foreign war. That’s the main requirement for being able to join the VFW organization. Now although I’ve been supporting various DoD projects since 1990 I don’t qualify. However, the VFW has a Men’s Auxiliary group. That is for a male spouse who didn’t serve in the military although their wife did. Therefore, I can join the Men’s Auxiliary and Grillpup is a full fledged member of the VFW. HOWEVER, all is not well. Out of the 100’s of members of the VFW, 1 very old and very grumpy retired dude feels that Good ole Grilldog shouldn’t be a part of the VFW at all since I didn’t serve in the military. Makes no difference that my wife did. It doesn’t matter how much charity work I do, how often I volunteer or help out at the VFW, it doesn’t even matter that I’m now battling Communism, this dude gets unhinged by me just being there. Now that guy needs a good ole Hind Leg salute for having his head stuck between the cheeks he doesn’t eat with!
2nd. Now I’m sure we’ve all been in restaurants where some idiot parents let their baby screech and scream like a barn owl. Usually at such a high pitch it feels like a razors are slicing the very core of your brain into tiny shards. Well, for one, you can bet it’s not Jr Dog, However, that’s not my point, just an interjection. My point is that have you ever been in a restaurant and heard a baby laugh and were annoyed? I think not. There’s nothing like a baby’s laughter to soften up the most hardened soul (except maybe the old dude in the first hind leg salute). That’s a great thing about Jr Dog, he’s not a cry baby he’s a laughing baby. He loves a good laugh and everyone laughs with him. In fact, whenever we all go to the VFW to hang out everyone there begs me to get Jr Dog to start laughing and as soon as he does the entire place starts to beam with good cheer. Or so I thought. One day while Jr Dog was laughing, some old Bat of a women (and I know I’m insulting old bats with that analogy) turned to me and had the audacity to tell me that my baby’s laughing was irritating her and she wanted quiet. OMG, I almost peed on her right there or just changed Jr’s diaper and let him have a go at her!!! So a double special, Saturday night Keg party Hind leg salute to anyone who is annoyed by a baby’s laughter, ESPECIALLY if that baby is Jr Dog!

I know everyone has been asking for this so it’s on the way. I was hoping to complete the book and publish it on my birthday 10/18 when I turn 50, however, between work and traveling I think I’ll only have the draft completed by then. I’ll still have to add the photos and edit the text and add the table of contents etc.

Grilldog’s tip to live by for this Month: Sometimes Change is Good, in fact everything Changes, Jr Dog tries to Change is own Diapers, Grillpup’s mood changes with the wind LOL (just teasing dear!) and on 10/01 I’m changing jobs. I’ll still be with the same company but it’s a promotion and I’ll be working on a different project. So I’m psyched about that. Now no more changes! LOL

Viejas is opening a state of the art Bowling Alley. That’s right gang, I’m hoping that it’s cheaper then some of these other bowling alley’s around town but we’re psyched. You know Grillpup and I will be checking it out when it opens. I can’t wait for Jr Dog to toss his first ball down the alley. Do you all know I remember when I was barely able to walk and my dad let me push his ball down the alley. I remember that first ball slowly rolled down the alley and made a strike!

New Products! New Sponsors! New Episodes! Pig’n Out finally finished!! Grilldog Fishing! Recipes using Jerky! Bloody Sunday! Flame Disks! Grill Charms!
Plus Much More…
NTN Buzztime Fans of East County, Jolt’n Joes on La Mesa Blvd Now has Buzztime. That’s Grillpup’s and my favorite Friday Night activity, so come out, play some trivia and have some happy hour happy beer prices! However, you’ll have to bring your own FOOD!
Great Sponsors that contributed to our most recent episodes.
House of Jerky, www.houseofjerky.net, donated a ton of Jerky for our Jerk’n Around Episode filmed at the Grand in El Cajon. Also we used their Jerky for our Bloody Sunday episode, we used a ton of jerky as garnishes in bloody marys!
The Grand in El Cajon, Newly remodeled made a perfect location to film. Although they didn’t promote the show, no one who was supposed to help actually helped, just sat in their back room, but heck, I don’t care, we had a great show with lots of great food. Can WE ALL TAKE A GUESS of WHERE I’M NOT GOING TO FILM AGAIN?
Biggamefishing90.com sport fishing, one day, 3 or 9 days, they fish, the crew is the best, been there, experienced it and left my mark! Just starting to edit this one. Not sure how it’s going to turn out but I’ve charted a ton of ships in my day and I have to be honest, these guys are the best!
Flame Disk www.ugogrill.com It’s a danged flaming Frisbee! It’s awesatious! Actually, it’s an environmentally friendly fuel source and if you are a weekend warrior, serious tailgater, camper or just want a quick and convenient fuel source to grill, this is it! We used this in our Bloody Sunday Episode and the danged thing was Great! I love this thing!
Grill Charms, Ever have trouble deciding which was the spicy meat and which wasn’t, these little Charms of a Charm go right into the meat and identify it for you. No matter how many times you flip it; however, Grilldog says the fewer times you flip your meat the better!
Tailgate Beer www.tailgatebeer.com 1 danged four paws and a tail salute of a beer, and they gave me a tee shirt! I loved all of their beers. Glad Billdog didn’t show up so there was enough to go around!
But back to my new Sponsors/Friends and fellow twitters. You know that I’m on Public Access TV. Public Access is non commercial, community TV. It supports our first amendment right of free speech. Imagine it as an electronic soap box for you to spread your word. Cooking shows are not just difficult in coordinating all that goes on, recipes, timing etc, they can be expensive. The costs for product, locations, etc can greatly affect the production quality of any cooking show. Therefore, it’s with the Great support of supporters of public access TV that I am able to continue to produce and maintain the high quality and standards of my shows! Thanks!
New Episodes
Family Fishing Fun, we filmed Family Fishing fun as guests on the charter boat Big Game 90 (www.biggamefishing90.com) over by H&M Landing in San Diego. We took off, with me, Grilldog, my camera man, Beer Dog and the lovely co-host Anna, plus about 40 guests. On Sundays it’s Kids fish free! Well, 1 kid per parent. The cost is very reasonable, they keep the costs down because great companies sponsor their trip by donating rods, reels, tackle and even some great prizes. I got so carried away with the excitement I even donated one of my recipe books, Grilldog’s Guide to Food, Fun and Friend to be given to the grand prize winner! It was a bit rocky getting out to the Mexican waters and I didn’t keep a tally of who lost their lunch and who didn’t, my head was over the rail most of the time so I didn’t see. But if you are looking for some fun family fishing or just a few days out for yourself, give them a bark and tell them Grilldog Sent ya, you’ll be glad you did. For this episode I made 5 flavored tartar sauces, smoked red chili and Jalapeño, Cucumber, Spicy BBQ Cucumber, Smoked Bell Pepper and a spinach artichoke tartar sauce. They were all great although one little gal needed a HUGE glass of water after sampling the Spicy BBQ Sauce… sorry as soon as I finish editing Pork’n Out (I just started editing that, I’ll edit Family Fishing Fun)
Bloody Sunday, although No official sponsor, we showcased Grill Charms and Flame disks. It was about 107 degrees Fahrenheit and we were exhausted. I’ve seen the raw footage and I think I should call the show, 2 fat bastards get drunk. LOL ya know that’s going to be a great show.
I am still working on and hope to do the Chocolate Peanut Butter Episode (my tribute to Chef Nancy who was more than a mentor to me) in September, I just need a venue where I can really make a mess.
Tailgating - Proposed for 11/1 at Pure Platinum the ultimate Sports Bar, we’ll be making sausages… Join us and watch the Chargers and Raiders away game after the show. I’ve got some cool ideas for this one and hopefully, some new sponsors as well as some old ones!
Road Kill III Battle for Supremacy - no dates set yet. Mono y Mono Event!

The Baja Blues Boys have launched their first CD!
Their album “Gone Away, Someday” is now available at CDBaby.com

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 really pounded up some great Jerk recipes all using the Jerky from House of Jerky! I’m not Jerking you around either! Oh, and my South African Friends, shhhhhhhhhhh I know it’s not Biltong but the recipes will still work LOL… OMG now everyone will know!
8/15 at the New Grand in El Cajon. I have to thank Chef Isabella Small, head chef at Wit University in Johannesburg, South Africa, Chef Hallie Harron Owner of the Maison Mollans Ecole de Cuisine in France http://www.maisonmollans.com and Chef Heather Turner http://www.forfengdesigns.com for their help in the creation of these recipes. We will be using jerky recipes in future shows just because there is so much you can do with it!
So far we’ve completed filming Jerk’n Around, an entire episode about recipes using Jerky and Bloody Sunday where there was a different Jerky garnish in each Drink. I hear there were even sake marinated pickle slices!
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! Hopefully 11/1 just before the Chargers Play the Raiders in Oakland. So all my tailgate buddies better be there! If you thought the olive oil scene was something, wait till you see what I have dreamed up, you’ll need a cold shower afterward!

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 only 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!

Some unscrupulous person already took “Grilldog” on Twitter… ahhhhhh the insanity! The Unoriginal Cretan! They don’t even twitter! Let’s Spam him LOL (hey if you live in Crete Indiana and relocate are you an excretion?)

Filming and appearances in= September:
NO set plans at this point! You’ll have to keep an eye on www.grilldog.com for events!
Please, if you run into Grillpup, give her a supportive hug, she still doesn’t understand how come my 9 month old son and I communicate so well, guess we are just on the same level! Jr Dog is just like his dad, he drools, belches, has stinky gas and no one seems to understand him.
And now on to my regular pompous parading and prancing propaganda! August here we come!

Jr Dog Update:
Jr dog at 9.5 months is starting to read. What a Great kid! He has some teeth coming in, still can stink up the neighborhood with a good poo (that’s MY BOY!) and he just loves his dad! I’m also making some of his own food, pureed veggies and fruit, he loves avocados!
Grillpup
Grillpup feels there’s too much testosterone in the house, especially after she saw Grilldog and Jr Dog chowing down on Dill pickles! An infant eating a dill pickle? That’s MY BOY!!! NO it wasn’t the sake marinated pickles, jeesh, have some faith!
Grilldog was sighted all over San Diego
Four Paws and a Tail Salute award for this month goes to…

Grilldog’s Hindleg Salute goes too…
NO ONE Not there aren’t anyone out there that deserves a good hind leg salute, there’s plenty. I drive a motorcycle now and I can’t believe how bad people drive. Plus there’s a bar owner or two who totally let me down. However, it’s too hot to care! Maybe next month, I’ll have some good leg swinging hind leg salutes.

The Howler Staff this issue:
Executive Editor, “Grilldog” with help from: Jr Dog, G-Man, G.G. and George, The Grillpack Review committee, the Grilldog Fan Club, various folks from the Grillpack of friends.
Special thanks to the folks at Lee Books and Jude Liebermann, who without, the show wouldn’t be the same.
And remember folks:
If you are not about Food, Fun and Friends, you are doing IT Wrong.
The World is neither Black and White nor Shades of Grey, when you open your eyes, you can see it’s really MILLIONS OF COLORS!
So Keep Grill’n and Chill’n and tell them, Grilldog Sent ya! You’ll be Glad You Did!
New Products! New Sponsors! New Episodes! OMGzilla finished!! Grilldog Fishing? Recipes using Jerky?
Plus Much More.
8/1 - I’ll be at the Vista BBQ Cook Off for Charity in Vista, CA
Benefits Girls Clubs of Vista, we’ll be at the intersection of South Sante Fe and Vista Village Dr (Old Town Vista)
8/15 - The Grand in El Cajon, we’re filming Jerk’n Around
8/23 - Bloody Sunday at the Blarney Stone in El Cajon
NTN Buzztime Fans of East County, Jolt’n Joes on La Mesa Blvd Now has Buzztime, that’s Grillpup’s and my favorite Friday Night activity, so come out, play some trivia and have some happy hour happy beer prices!
1. New Products/Sponsors! These sponsors are no one to Twitter about, or perhaps they are! Good ole Grilldog always tries to sniff out a new marketing source, someplace to spread the word of Food, Fun and Friends! I’m not satisfied with just having one of the most distributed shows in the world, I want to be THE most distributed show on Public Access in the World (OK, I’d like to be on a corporate sponsored station, too). Therefore, I stuck my nose into twittering at twitter so I’m now one of the twittering twits that twit on and on at twitter. Unbelievable and overwhelming response! That’s all I can say. Here’s some people and products that will appear on my show and will be put in my list at the end of the page of Grilldog Supporters.
House of Jerky, www.houseofjerky.net I hope I can stop eating this stuff so I can have enough for the show!
Biggamefishing90.com sport fishing, one day, 3 or 9, the crew is the best, been there, experienced it and left my mark!
Tailgate Beer www.tailgatebeer.com 1 danged four paws and a tail salute of a beer, and they gave me a tee shirt! I loved all of their beers, Glad Billdog didn’t show up so there was enough to go around!
Flame Disk www.ugogrill.com It’s a danged flaming Frisbee! It’s awesatious! Actually, it’s an environmentally friendly fuel source and if you are a weekend warrior, serious tailgater, camper or just want a quick and convenient fuel source to grill, this is it!
Grill Charms, Ever have trouble deciding which was the spicy meat and which wasn’t, these little Charms of a Charm go right into the meat and identify it for you. No matter how many times you flip it; however, Grilldog says the fewer times you flip your meat the better!
The NEW Grand in El Cajon on Main St. The Grand recently relocated and remolded into a huge successful and entertaining pub in El Cajon. We’ll be in the back lot, which is more like a luxury patio, filming our Jerky Show. There’s going to be a lot of surprises and fun, this will be an episode NOT to miss!
If you are on Twitter my user ID is The_Grilldog. Some unscrupulous person used my Moniker “Grilldog” before I got to it and won’t give it up, I’ve asked nicely. Worst of all, his page is blank, makes it look like I’m silent out there and we know that’s not Grilldog. When there’s barking to be done I BARK! Everyone on Twitter is encouraged to send an@grilldog to this guy and complain! Maybe if he gets hassled enough, he’ll give up the name.
But back to my new Sponsors/Friends and fellow twitters. You know that I’m on Public Access TV. Public Access is non commercial, community TV. It supports our first amendment rights of free speech. Imagine it as an electronic soap box for you to spread your word. Cooking shows are not just difficult in coordinating all that goes on, recipes, timing etc, they can be expensive. The costs for product, locations, etc can greatly affect the production quality of any cooking show. Therefore, it’s with the Great support of supporters of public access TV that I am able to continue to produce and maintain the high quality and standards of my shows! Thanks!
New Episodes
Family Fishing Fun, we filmed Family Fishing fun as guests on the charter boat Big Game 90 (www.biggamefishing90.com) over by H&M Landing in San Diego. We took off, with me, Grilldog, my camera man, Beer Dog and the lovely co-host Anna, plus about 40 guests. On Sundays it’s Kids fish free! Well, 1 kid per parent. The cost is very reasonable, they keep the costs down because great companies sponsor their trip by donating rods, reels, tackle and even some great prizes. I got so carried away with the excitement I even donated one of my recipe books, Grilldog’s Guide to Food, Fun and Friend to be given to the grand prize winner! It was a bit rocky getting out to the Mexican waters and I didn’t keep a tally of who lost their lunch and who didn’t, my head was over the rail most of the time so I didn’t see. But if you are looking for some fun family fishing or just a few days out for yourself, give them a bark and tell them Grilldog Sent ya, you’ll be glad you did. For this episode I made 5 flavored tartar sauces, smoked red chili and Jalapeño, Cucumber, Spicy BBQ Cucumber, Smoked Bell Pepper and a spinach artichoke tartar sauce. They were all great although one little gal needed a HUGE glass of water after sampling the Spicy BBQ Sauce… sorry as soon as I finish editing Pork’n Out (I just started editing that, I’ll edit Family Fishing Fun)
Jerk’n Around - The House of Jerky www.houseofjerky.com is a BIG fan of community television and supports freedom of speech. When they saw Grilldog Barking around they fell in love with Grilldog and donated a ton of jerky to the show. After all who better to do a Jerky Show about Jerky then Grilldg? My show was created for just this episode! Now I’m sure you are all aware, as so am I, that every one of those danged corporate sponsored celebrity chefs have produced a How to Make Jerky episode. However, as always, THEY FAILED to go far enough and tell you the many wonderful things you can do with it once it’s made other then eating it. However, Grilldog is here, once again, going perhaps TOO Far and rather the those dull corporate sponsored same ole same ole broadcasting shows Grilldog is going to bring an episode that will definitely go where they have never dreamed, nor probably want to! Did we go too far? Well come on out the the NEW Grand on Main Street from 11am to 2 on August 15th and find out as Grilldog doesn’t Make Jerky, Grilldog is going to use Jerky as an ingredient in other recipes! has Grilldog gone too far again! Yes, Adult Libations, Breakfast, snacks, soup and salad, all made with Jerky as the theme ingredient, perhaps we’ll even have sexy ladies in bikini’s playing with a Beach Ball with water sprinklers going off! Why? Why the Hell Not?
There’s going to be games, prizes, discount beer prices, tons of food samples as we film at THE NEW Grand on Main Street in EL Cajon on August 15th,
The following Sunday the 23rd we are going be filming Bloody Mary Sunday at the Blarney Stone on 2nd street in El Cajon. August 23rd We will be making at least 5 wild and crazy Bloody Mary’s, we’ll take you on an around the world Trip of flavors, Asia, the Old West and much much more! Be there from 10am - 2pm.
I am still working on and hope to do the Chocolate Peanut Butter Episode (my tribute to Chef Nancy who was more then a mentor to me) in September, I just need a venue where I can really make a mess.
Gadgets - We are getting a lot of new sponsors and I’m working on shows for them, I’m thinking of doing a cool show about the gadgets that people have sponsored for the show.
Tailgating -Purposed for 11/1 at Pure Platinum the ultimate Sports Bar, we’ll be making sausages… Join us and watch the Charger’s and Raiders away game after the show.
Road Kill III Battle for Supremacy - no dates set yet. Mono y Mono Event!
Grilldog’s 50th Birthday celebration in Mazatlan Mexico!

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 veggies 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!
The next DVD is scheduled for release in September, it will contain…

Family Fish’n Fun we go out fishing with Big Game 90 in San Diego and we sample our catch with Grilldog’s flavored Tartar sauces
Jerk’n Around, Grilldog makes 9 recipes using Jerky from the House of Jerky as an Ingredient
_____
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 pound up some great Jerk recipes all using the Jerky from House of Jerky! I’m not Jerking you around either! Oh, and my South African Friends, shhhhhhhhhhh I know it’s not Biltong but the recipes will still work LOL… OMG now everyone will know! 8/15 at the New Grand in El Cajon. I have to thank Chef Isabella Small, head chef at Wit University in Johannesburg, South Africa, Chef Hallie Harron Owner of the Maison Mollans Ecole de Cuisine in France http://www.maisonmollans.com and Chef Heather Turner http://www.forfengdesigns.com for their help in the creation of these recipes. We will be using jerky recipes in future shows just because there is so much you can do with it!
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! Hopefully 11/1 just before the Chargers Play the Raiders in Oakland. So all my tailgate buddies better be there! If you thought the olive oil scene was something, wait till you see what I have dreamed up, you’ll need a cold shower afterward!
ROAD KILL III: BATTLE FOR SUPREMACY… details to follow, if that doesn’t grab your attention nothing will.
Plus there’s a Chili/BBQ competition at Pure Platinum in Kearny Mesa in September. I’ll be there, it’ll be a blast
Bloody Sunday at the Blarney Stone, Remember the Blarney Stone, it’s where we got plastered filming Road Kill I, the episode that started my mass distribution. Unfortunately the venue isn’t the best for my show; however, we are going back. This time we’ll be inside the Blarney (no Blarney) on 8/23 filming Bloody Sunday. We will be making a variety of wild Bloody Mary Drinks. We are going to actually kick the show off at the beginning of the Jerky show when we make our Bloody Mary with Hot Habinero laced beef Jerky. It’ll give me an idea to do a show with Bloody Mary’s and each one a different flavor and garnished with a different flavored jerky!

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!

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!!!

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!

He’s becoming such a flirt. Women just want to touch him where ever we go! He’s doing really well! He’s crawling up a storm and really responding to many verbal cues now! Unfortunately, we have a neurotic Cat that is on kitty happy drugs now because he’s so territorial and jealous he stopped eating! Jr Dog however, is eating up a storm, he’s going to be a big-un. He now has his very own passport, that’s cool but it’ll be awhile before he starts world traveling with his Pop! For now he’ll just have to stick with Skype.
Grillpup
Grillpup wants to sell her 1998 Nissan Altima, Please contact us if you are interested, it’d make a great 1st car for that college bound pup of your own! $2,200 OBO.
Grilldog was sighted all over San Diego
Corvette Diner in Point Loma
Grilldog was sighted at the bar (where else) enjoying cocktails and conversing with the bartender regarding some of his bizarre drink ideas! Grilldog liked the hot and spicy burger but his acid reflux didn’t. Does Grilldog care, nah, I hear he’ll go back and order another one!
Four Paws and a Tail Salute award for this month goes to…
House of Jerky, for putting up with me! Since I’m a bit Jerky myself, I guess it goes without saying that I’d be promoting their product!
Big Game 90 Fishing in Point Loma, for dealing with the sea-sick people. I have to say of all the fishing excursions I have been on, the crew were the most courteous and customer service oriented and professional of any. I highly recommend them.
Tail Gate Beer for stopping by during the filming of the Tartar Sauce Recipes with Free Samples of awesatious Beer!
Grill Charms and Flame Disk for donating products for future shows!
Grilldog’s Hindleg Salute goes too…
Grilldog’s P.O’d at the P.O… We wanted to get Jr Dog a Passport for our trip to Mazatlan in October. Therefore, we followed the directions posted on the internet by the Post Office (that was our first mistake believe the U.S. Post Office could give directions when they don’t even know where your package is. Plus, (now I’m on a roll) They are too stupid to even know a correct address when they see one. The complex I live in has two sections, lets call them A and B. The numbers on A&B Each start at 1 and go up until they meet in the middle. Our complex is at the intersection of two streets, Street A and Street B. Now everyone who lives in A section, there address is ### A street and everyone that lives in B sections address is ### B street. OK, now there are two postal drop boxes. A’s Drop Box is in the Middle of Section A and B’s is in the middle of Section B. Now wouldn’t the dumbest tooth in your head realize that if someone’s address was ### A street Unit # that it is obviously going to go in the A mail box on A street to the number indicated and vice versa? However, WE continually get angry postal notes, some hand written, some ink stamped some yellow stickers, that state if our address doesn’t read ### A street Unit ###A they won’t deliver it because they won’t know our address! Sorry, now back to the Passport incident. SOOO we get to the postal orifices just before our appointment at 11. There wasn’t anyone at the counter but there was a couple in front of us. When the Postal worker slithered out from under her rock and started to set up, Grillpup said, excuse me but we have an 11:00 appointment. The postal idiot turns to the couple in line and says do you have an appointment, they said no. The postal idiot then turns to Grillpup and says, I’m sorry Mam but I have to take them first! WTF? Plus, the Postal Orifices’ own instructions state that customers for Passports will ONLY be seen on Saturdays by Appointment only. I guess the slithering Postal idiot can’t read. So here’s a big hind leg salute for the U.S. Post Office, I hope it makes your stamps stick together!
Costco. someone has to say this, Costco Sucks. There, I’m happy, it’s out. You can get the same product at Smart n Final or Walmart for the same price or many times even cheaper. I just went to the newly remolded Super Smart n Final in El Cajon and I didn’t want to leave! Plus, don’t bark at me about their gas and the refund if you have a Costco American Express Credit Card. Piss on that! You can get a credit/cash card at Arco that has no fees, Arco usually has gas at the same price or cheaper than Costco and you get credit on every purchase not just credit at Costco. So why pay 40 bucks or more for a stupid membership? I’m done with any store that I have to pay a membership for!
However, the Biggest Hind Leg Salute goes to the Catalina Seafood Company in San Diego http://www.catalinaop.com/ I recommend boycotting them and any place that they distribute seafood too. About 7 months ago they contacted me regarding sponsoring seafood for my episodes so that I can diverse and use more seafood in the show. Currently, it’s really out of my price range to use seafood in my shows. We emailed back and forth for a few months and even discussed what type and how much seafood I would need. They kept telling me in every email that they were going to set up a time and place to meet. Finally, after a couple months, I just stopped by to check them out. They pretty much ushered me out the door, still saying they’d make an appointment. Then all of a sudden they stopped responding to my emails. So finally, I sent them an email asking them if they were still interested or not. All I got back was an unceremonious “NO.” Not even an explanation or anything. Well big Saturday Night Hind Leg Salute to them! You should send them angry emails about their lack of customer service. Obviously folks with their heads stuck between the cheeks they don’t eat with!

You know I hear they buried two truckloads of toys with Micheal Jackson as a tribute. You know if everyone thought he was such a humanitarian a better tribute would be to send two truckloads to those Toys for Tots people and give them to the kids who don’t have any playthings rather than burying them with Micheal who just used kids as playthings.

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!

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!

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!

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!

———–
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!
You can Purchase 4 episode DVD’s of Grilldog’s show!
http://www.amazon.com/s/qid=1243354945/ref=a9_sc_1?ie=UTF8&search-alias=dvd&field-keywords=grilldog%20presents
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 DVDs are available at the 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 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. Just go to Amazon.com and do a search for Good Ole Grilldog
Once again you can catch Good ole Grilldog on the Internet at..
http://www.cheshiretv.org/stream.htm
Thursdays at 5PM and Friday at 9PM
So you don’t have to miss a minute
As well as on other stations. However, they all don’t notify me that they are streaming and I only find out accidentally. So if anyone is streaming and you know of it, let good ole Grilldog know and I’ll post the information! Oh Billdog, I said Streaming, not Streaking! Jeesh Billdog! LOL
Pegmedia.org
Public Access Stations can now download a complete episode, I don’t have to spend all of my time burning and mailing DVD’s any more!
That’s right the great folks at Pegmedia.org maintains a website for producers and public access stations alike. It’s free. All I have to do now is upload a Mpeg file to their sites and any of my shows can be downloaded from there. So if you can’t get Grilldog Presents on your local Public Access TV. Call them up now and complain! I’m only 1 click (maybe two) away from appearing on your TV!
Items include, but not limited to, Caps, Mouse Pads, Mugs, T-Shirts, Clocks and even a THONG! The Thong was featured in the Pimp and Ho “Coo Coo Dog” Show!
(A THONG??? don’t ask, but it is exotically comfortable, I have one on now and I’m eating Cheetos!!!) Oh, if you do buy the thong, please, don’t send me pictures, I have a weak heart!
Grilldog’s tip to live by for this Month: Just because I can do something better than anyone else, doesn‘t mean I want to do it! God has a wicked sense of humor!

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 gives these people, services and products a Four Paws and a Tail Salute Too
