Moose,

I want to say thanks to the BBQ Brethren leaders for providing this fun and rewarding event. It's a lot of fun and helps us keep our cooking skills sharp! :-D
How about a "Just One Bite" Throwdown? Cook whatever you want, but the money shot must be restricted to a One-Bite portion. It can be on a plate, on a fork, on a toothpick, on a spoon…. You get the "picture" - Pun intended! :lol:
Hmmm. One bite for some could be a full meal for others. This could get interesting! :heh:

You may submit entries that are cooked from Friday 7/25 through Sunday 8/3

Entry pictures must be submitted by 12 p.m. Central US Time on Monday 8/4.

Please Accept This As My Official Entry Into The " Just One Bite TD".

I feel that I have been remiss in my duties and thereby failed to enter the last couple of TD's. It is not due to lack of will or desire! It is basically lack of sleep and self medication that has prevented me from entering the last couple of TD's. You should try living in the middle of the most lucious grapevines in the world and staying sober! Truly a daunting task!

Tonight I decided to go Merican. One Bite Burgers!

Started with a$$ kicken rolls!



Some fresh ground beef for me and Turkey for Mrs CA







Gettin all cheesy and toasty



I think we are done here!



Plated with onion rings.



My one bite polling pic if you please!



Thank you for coming to visit our show!

A neighbor brought over some HUGE zucchini from his garden, so I sliced up half of one and rubbed it with some EVOO and Cattleman's Tuscan steak rub.

This is my official entry.

Jamaican Jerk CLOINK Balls with fresh pineapple and mango salsa.

Ground chicken (cluck) with jerk seasoning and green onions wrapped in bacon (oink) and then grilled indirect and basted with a Jamaican Jerk sauce. CLuck + OINK = CLOINK :D

When we were in Ocho Rios in April I bought some jerk seasoning and some Jamaican hot sauce.

But... I can't find either one :doh:

So, when I went to the store to buy the other ingredients I found this...

Uncle Joe's Jerk is a Chicago area restaurant known for jerk chicken. The sauce is very good and has quite a bit of heat.

For the chicken mixture I added three tablespoons to a pound of ground chicken and tossing in 4 green onions that were thinly sliced. The mixture was very wet so I also added some bread crumbs to help it hold shape better. I formed a dozen balls and wrapped each one with half a slice of thin cut bacon and pinned it with a soaked toothpick. Even with the breadcrumbs the chicken mixture was wet and didn't stay in ball shape, but I think they still looked good.

I cooked them indirect until the bacon was nice and crispy and then basted them with four coats of a jerk basting sauce made with the Uncle Joe's Jerk Sauce, a little apple juice and a little BBQ sauce to cut the heat.

I also made a fresh salsa with pineapple, mango, red onion, orange bell pepper, tomato and cilantro to accompany the CLOINKS.

Please use the picture above for the voting thread!

And yes, I ate that in one bite! The CLOINK had a great jerk flavor and the sauce mellowed a bit when cooked so it had a good amount of heat, but not so much that my wife couldn't handle it. the fresh salsa was a great complement to the heat of the Jamaican Jerk CLOINK Ball.
