In the northeast people burn heating oil to stay warm.

It's not though. Tons of electric cook tops here and I hate them.

And coal

Once you get it the temp you want it then you season and throw on grill for your grill marks. Its how Ruth Chris Steakhouse cooks their steas

Ah so you have to cook it twice.

Seems like a process. I dont do well with those. KISS is the acronym to live by. Start putting in too many "steps" and I will screw it up.

Is that why they can charge $50 for a steak?

Store them in Ziploc with all juices ...

and all air is removed using a straw ...

stays juicy

I was just getting started really, it ended up great. did a crab boil as well, found great live crabs in Metarie. Was going to go to Westwego , but somebody told me about this other place.

Yes, I am. I was in New Orleans the last 2 weekends, once on business, the other for a wedding. Im there quite a bit.
