Went to the supermarket this morning and saw that they had some great looking choice porterhouses at the meat counter for 13/lb. Got 2, had one just now. Delicious.

We're going to have BLTs tomorrow - I pre-cooked a batch of bacon this afternoon (oven method) - 9 slices took about 30 minutes with zero work.

We visited BIL and SIL in Indy today. Lovely to go somewhere different, see someone different, beautiful day. Had Portillo's delivered. Yum.

Portillo's Italian beef is among the best. However, there are several in the Chicago area that are as good, or better, depending on your taste.
Another thing that Portillo's does really well is the chopped salad. Their burger is surprisingly good too - a real "char-broiled" taste.

Had a burger today - really good and very charbroiled taste! Would have had an Italian beef but had one of those last week, although not nearly as good. But I had no sides so I also got a Chicago dog.
Good eating.
George, do you by any chance know what a beefstroll is? That's the name of the food truck I ate at this week. Adena's Beefstroll. They specialize in Chacago grub.

Not bad for a first effort. Room for improvement, but still a nice dinner.

So I rewrapped it this afternoon and brought it up to temperature over 40 minutes in the oven at 250. Then I took the temp of the oven up to 350 for 20 minutes. Let it sit for 30 minutes and it came out perfect.

Do the bend test when buying briskets. It works.
