Title: Greetings from Chapel Hill, NC
Post by: nylic76 on November 24, 2013, 08:54:14 PM
I'm from Chapel Hill and an avid UNC Tar Heel fan.  It's been a good weekend for anyone whose favorite color is Carolina Blue.  Yesterday, the football team scored 80 points and had their 5th straight win after a 1-5 start.  Today, the Heels, who were beaten by Belmont eaqrlier this week(can you believe that) beat #3 Louisville.  Enough about sports...this is a cooking forum.  I have been a casual backyard cook over the years using a gas grill and a Weber kettle charcoal grill.  About 10 years ago I started frying a turkey at Thanksgiving.  A week ago, I bought the Char Broil Big Easy because I was tired of the mess and expense of the oil turkey fryer and have spent a lot of time this week reading the forums.  I was referred to this site by TMB.  After realizing that TBE can be used for more than just cooking chicken or turkey, I am sure it will be used much more than just once a year, which is what happened with the fryer.  I look forward to being an active participant.

Welcome from Southern California.

I have two Big Easy's myself. One on natural gas and the other on propane for when I am camping. You are going to find that your Big Easy is great for making more than Turkey ;)

Welcome from NE Ohio.

Is the Rathslellar restaurant still in business in downtown Chapel Hill? We used to go there to eat every now and then when I lived in NC.

Unfortunately "The Rat" closed several years ago.  It was an institution in chapel hill that was open for more than 50 years and some of the waiters were there the entire time it was open.  Oh, how I would love to have the gambler on that sizzling griddle one more time.
