| FTBL Most Important: What's on The Menu for Kickoff?

I can't say I remember even hearing of boiled peanuts until I moved to SC and there were more than a handful of farms in N AL who had crops. I'm not a big fan, but have to say a local guy here has some really good Cajun flavors. He runs his little trailer/food truck set up seven days a week; five off the I and two at the flea market.

Crazy story? My uncle buys them every time he visits the Lowcountry. Not to eat, mind you, but as a car freshner. Seriously, he likes to put them on his dashboard so his car will smell like peanuts. I. Don't. Get. It.

It's not something I eat often, but I enjoy them in the fall. Haven't had any in probably 2 years. I do like the cajun ones at times. But as a rule of thumb, if some dude is set up on the side of the road in a pickup in AL selling them, they're going to be good.

This is from my hometown. This couple had a peanut business. They were locally known for great boiled peanuts.

Similar story around these parts but with one guy; Tony the Peanut Man. He was a staple around the Riverdogs games until he branched out and started selling at other venues (along with other merchandise.)

The guy I was referring to earlier can be found M-F at the exit for Jedburg off of I-26. Same scenario...truck and trailer pulled off on the side of the road where there's literally no place to park, but a half of a dozen or more will find room. Pure southern scene...older fella sitting in a lawn chair under the shade of an umbrella.
 
NW Montana just north of Kalispell.

If I make is across Tuscaloosa tomorrow to pick up some surprisingly good rolls that the Sam's bakery makes, then I'll do pork tenderloin sliders. It's going to depend if having sliders is worth going to Sam's I guess....

Turns out, going to Sam’s for the rolls was worth it.

A vinegar/mustard BBQ sauce that I've been dabbling with for a few months. Trying to get it zeroed in. Would have also been good with a basic horseradish sauce (like served with prime rib), IMO.

I was afraid of that. I don't doubt your ability in the cuisine department, just your judgment on mustard based BBQ sauce. 😈

It's about like the saturation we see this time of the season with "all things Pumpkin." I've inundated with mustard based recipes far too long. It does look good (AKA, I wouldn't push it away.)
