0:36
better than I deserve, as some folks may say. And we've got a
0:41
guest that's going to be joining us in just a moment. But before we
0:43
talk about a really cool event that's that's going on between you and the folks
0:48
folks here in town of collaboration you're doing, let's really quickly talk about beat
0:52
butter barbecue. And for folks that haven't had a chance to stop in,
0:56
I say, one, what is wrong with you? Get in there today?
0:58
But let's talk a little bit a little bit about the history of beef
1:02
butter barbecue and a little bit about a little bit about what makes you guys
1:04
so great. Hello, Thanks Sean. Well, first of all, beef
1:08
butter barbecue is celebrating their fifth year this fall, we've served almost a million
1:15
people, if you can believe it, between catering and at the restaurant.
1:19
We've been fortunate enough that Madison has voted us number one barbecue and cater with
1:26
Best of Madison and People's Choice. And we just, you know, we
1:30
just do some very simple things. We smoke meats, and we provide great
1:36
customer service, and we do a ton of catering. For weddings, we
1:38
do three or four weddings a weekend. We do do three or four businesses
1:42
every week. The construction industry is great, they're always hurrying us, and
1:48
medical industry. And little secret is we helped land several recruits. So we
1:55
better have a good football team and volleyball team and basketball team this year because
2:00
they use us to land those special recruits. That is that is a great
2:05
little secret they've got in their back pocket and for goods. You and I
2:08
were I was texting you last night and I was telling you a friend of
2:12
mine, who he lives north of here, he was in town, had
2:15
had to do some do some work in the city. And he he replied,
2:17
he texted me, he said, beef butter barbecue is legit explanation point,
2:23
and I hear hear from people saying that all the time. Now,
2:25
obviously anyone that listens to this show knows how much I love what you guys
2:29
do at Beef Butter Barbecue. And you're of course always there for lunch,
2:34
dinner. You mentioned catering as well, and nothing caters better than Beef Butter
2:38
Barbecue. It's a great it's a great thing, and you guys are going
2:40
to do something a little bit different. Um. And we're joined this morning
2:46
by Chef Patrick as well. We've got pitt Master Patrick and Chef Patrick.
2:49
Chef Patrick, Welcome to the show. Yeah, thanks for having me.
2:53
We're really excited to work with Beef Butter Barbecue and the two Patricks get together
2:58
here interesting event at our space, which is the Deliciouser downtown Madison or a
3:05
spice blending company. We take many, many years of cooking experience to bring
3:09
together locally made spice blends and we're going to teach people the ins and outs
3:15
of live fire cooking this coming Tuesday night. Oh, that should be absolutely
3:19
fantastic. And Patrick, Pitmaster Patrick. Also, in talking with you,
3:23
I started to see some rumblings on Facebook and other social media's people talking about
3:30
this event. You're going to be there obviously as well. What kind of
3:34
made you decide, Hey, let's let's do this, let's do this event,
3:37
let's do this partnership. Well, first of all, I attended well,
3:40
First of all stuff. Patrick is one of the top chefs in the
3:45
Madison area and actually worldwide. He travels the world. He learns the local
3:51
cusines and seasonings and spices and cooking methods. And I've attended the Deliciouser on
3:58
East Mains like nine twenty three Maine or something like that, right next to
4:01
the old Sugar Distillery. Patrick can go into details where it's at, but
4:04
I've attended several of his classes, and it's amazing his stories, his world
4:11
travels the food. So for two hours you're hearing great stories, eating great
4:15
food, and then he sends you home with all the recipes. And so
4:21
Chef Patrick contacted us and wanted to do a collaboration with beet but a barbecue,
4:28
and I was very honored because you know, he's a top chef in
4:30
Madison here and I'm just a pitmaster. You know. We we we smoke
4:34
a couple hundred briskets a week, but all we know is smoking, and
4:40
so I said, yeah, that would be great. And so we are
4:43
going to unlock the secrets of smoking. And all those people that bought like
4:48
pellet grills out there, we're going to show you how to use them right
4:53
side burners, smokers, I mean, we're going to show you how to
4:57
trim meat, how to smoke. And then Patrick's is going to go into
5:00
all the details of seasoning, spices, sides and it's going to be an
5:05
incredible night and this Tuesday night, August eighth at the Delicious Sir and so
5:12
to order tickets you go to the delicious Er dot com. But we're just
5:16
super excited because we've never done a collaboration like this before, and we've never
5:21
worked with such a great chef before. It is absolutely going to be a
5:25
great event. Again, that's taking place this Tuesday the eighth, from six
5:28
until eight. Of course the Deliciasir right at nine thirty one East Main Street,
5:32
right in Madison. Get more details online Beef Butter bbq dot com or
5:36
the Deliciouser dot com. That's the d E L I C I A I
5:42
O US who I U S E R I can spe even better just Google
5:48
It or go to Beef Butter bbq dot com and and Chef Patrick, let's
5:53
talk about the menu for the evening and what folks get with their ticket.
5:57
Well, you come in, we always like to start with some more derbs
6:00
or some appetizers when people come in unwind. We have a full bar available,
6:05
and we usually will pair up some great drinks, and we'll have some
6:09
great beers from our neighbors at Giant Jones Brewing, some great cocktails. We
6:13
work with State Line Distillery, who's a neighbor, and Old Sugar Distillery who's
6:15
in our building. And then we'll go into some of the stories of how
6:20
we got here. I've got thirty years of experience. I spent the last
6:24
twenty two years as a chef partner at Lombardino's Restaurant on the Near West Side,
6:29
where we did a lot of live fire cooking. We had a wood
6:31
fired grill, so I know a lot about the grilling side of it,
6:34
which is completely different and not as mystical as the barbecue side. So the
6:39
two of us teaming up can kind of help people unravel the differences between barbecuing
6:45
and what grilling is. And then we're going to have a full list of
6:48
sides. We have a great key Line pie for dessert. We have some
6:51
corn bread, we have some Mexican street corn that we're going to do,
6:55
and all of these things showcase the spice blends that we brought to life kind
6:59
of as a pandemic pivot. We started this family business when all the restaurants
7:02
were shut down. It's it's it looks like it's going to be a lot
7:05
of fun. And you mentioned some of the some of the things on the
7:09
menu as well as of course the world famous key Line pie. As far
7:13
as as far as space, obviously space is limited. Folks can can reserve
7:16
and book their spot right now, can't they. Yeah, you can book
7:20
to our website it's the delicious er dot com and that'll take you to our
7:25

7:28
a ticket and the name is the Delicious Earth. We just wanted to make
7:32
food a little bit more delicious than you can make it at home. So
7:35
if we can make people, you know, at ten twenty thirty percent better
7:40
cook than they are with our spice blens, we want your food to be
7:42
Delicious Earth. That's that is very very cool and Chef Patrick, do you
7:46
guys do like um, obviously you do this regularly. Do you guys do
7:48
like parties or anything like that? For like, let's say that there's,
7:50
um, you know, somebody is really interested in, you know, improving
7:55
their skills as a cook, wants to get some family and friends together as
7:59
like a social and view. Do you have reservations like that or is it
8:01
all just very Uh, there's the specific classes and people can can sign up

8:41
er dot com that's the d E l I c I O U S e
8:48
R dot Com. I got it that, yeah, and of course Facebook
8:52
and social media before we wrap up this h this morning, Pitmaster Patrick,
8:58
it's always great talking with you as well, in great seeing what you're up
9:01
to. How can we really really quickly talk? I know pickleball is the
9:03
biggest thing these days, and I know you over the years, aside from
9:07
barbecue, over the years, have gotten more and more involved in pickleball.
9:11
Are we seeing I know, I know nationally, um it's huge in Madison,
9:16
Dane County, southern Wisconsin. Are we seeing the same type of thing
9:18
with just an explosion of people getting involved with pickleball. Yeah, believe it
9:24
or not. There's national companies contacting me weekly wanting to be part of the
9:28
Madison scene because Madison is such an active community. I mean, it's just
9:33
it's crazy. People have gone nuts with pickleball, and you know, I
9:39
want people to play outdoors during the summer when the weather is perfect, but
9:43
like when we had that poor weather quality a couple of weeks ago, when
9:46
it's too hot or rainy or something, all they're all rushing to pickle pro
9:50
And then this fall it'll get crazy again and we'll have you know different open
9:56
plays by different levels and so forth, but it's just a social sport.
10:01
It's easy to learn. If you've never tried at contact us, we'll give
10:05
you some intro lessons and easy to learn, easy to get better at,
10:09
and you'll never perfect it. It's kind of like golf's and that's the best
10:13
combination. It is a great sport and really great facility with pickle Pro.
10:18
Of course, we talked with Pitt Master Patrick of Beef Butter Barbecue. Don't
10:22
forget about the Deliciouser event coming up again. That's Tuesday, August eighth,
10:26

10:31
