Prime that won’t break the bank available only @kingsmeatandbbqsupplyco and yeah, some of our cuts would definitely be Wagyu although we still sell it as prime at prime prices. Now come out and enjoy the weather in the 70’s all week long. Also known as barbecuing weather! Why go to @staterbros and pay the same price for choice when you can have prime! #kingsmeatandbbqsupplyco #upland #butchershop #carniceria #inlandempire

🔥 WORLD FOOD CHAMPIONSHIPS — RIB TURN-IN 🔥 We’re back with the second installment of our World Food Championships turn-in series, and this time, we’re talking APPLE JALAPEÑO PECAN RIBS! 🐖🔥 This incredible creation was a team effort between @rollforsmokebbq , @foxtrotbbq, and @get_it_proper_bbq — and we came ready to compete this year! 🍎🌶️ THE DISH: APPLE JALAPEÑO PECAN RIBS We sourced our ribs right in Indianapolis from bbq maestros, featuring the incredible Duroc pork from @fischerfarmsin . The quality of this pork was outstanding, and thankfully, we didn’t have to pack ribs in our carry-on this year! 😂✈️ Here’s how we built these beauties: 🥩 Three layers of flavor: We layered the ribs with three different rubs, featuring Rib Magic from @unclestevesshake as our primary rub. 💉 Moisture and flavor: We injected the ribs with a pork injection enhanced with @kosmosq Moisture Magic to help deliver that juicy, tender bite. 🧈 The wrap: We used the butter bath technique from @heathrilesbbq , then added an extra layer of flavor with their incredible pecan rub. 🔥 The finish: Once the ribs reached perfect probe tenderness, we glazed them over live fire with a homemade apple jalapeño glaze, bringing together sweet apple, a touch of heat, and that signature BBQ flavor. We plated these ribs with confidence, and the response was incredible! We turned heads, and the following day, judges actually came out to tell us how awesome they were. That kind of feedback makes every late night, every detail, and every ounce of hard work worth it! 🙌🔥 🏆 RIB TURN-IN SCORE: 95.75 • Execution: 38 • Appearance: 40 • Taste: 38 A HUGE THANK YOU to @unclestevesshake for supporting us during the competition and consistently supplying some amazing rubs! And a massive shout-out to @fischerfarmsin for providing such outstanding Duroc pork. It was an honor to cook with a protein of this quality! 🐖🔥 Matt brought the skills, our team brought the execution, and together we put out a rib turn-in we’re proud of. Thank you to everyone who helped make this happen! 💨 More World Food Championships turn-ins and the stor

🔥 WORLD FOOD CHAMPIONSHIPS — TAILGATE TURN-IN 🔥 We’re kicking off a new series showcasing our turn-ins from the World Food Championships, and first up is our Tailgate entry! 🏈🔥 This incredible creation came from Ruben @smokinrubens , and we knew we had something special on our hands! 🌶️ THE DISH: Jalapeños stuffed with smoked beef chuck, seasoned cream cheese, fresh herbs, and Oaxacan cheese, wrapped in bacon, smoked over pecan wood, and finished with a homemade pineapple glaze. And yes… we brought those monster jalapeños all the way to Indiana in our carry-on! 😂✈️ We had a feeling we wouldn’t find any this size out there! Here’s how we built these flavor bombs: 🥩 Beef chuck smoked over post oak, then braised with onion, garlic, and beef broth until tender before being shredded. 🧀 Cream cheese blended with herbs, seasonings, Oaxacan cheese, Ruben’s signature rub, and SPG. 🌶️ Jalapeños seeded, deveined, and soaked in cold water for 20 minutes to help mellow the heat. 🥓 Everything stuffed, wrapped in bacon, and smoked over pecan wood. 🍍 Finished with a pineapple glaze made using oleo saccharum — a process that extracts the oils and flavor from citrus peels using sugar, inspired here by pineapple peels and brown sugar left overnight. We plated these up feeling confident, but the response was beyond what we expected! We turned heads, and the following day, judges actually came out to tell us how awesome these were. Moments like that make all the hard work worth it! 🙌🔥 🏆 TAILGATE SCORE: 96.625 • Execution: 39 • Appearance: 40 • Taste: 38 A HUGE THANK YOU to @yodersmokers for supporting us during the competition and giving us the opportunity to cook on one of your incredible pits. The precision, craftsmanship, and performance were seriously impressive. It was an honor to cook on a Yoder, and we know that consistency helped us put our best food forward! Ruben brought the vision, the team brought the execution, and Yoder brought the smoke! 💨 Stay tuned as we share more of our World Food Championships turn-ins and the stories behind each dish! #worldfoodchampionships #wfc #TailgateTur

I got the call y’all! Honored, Humbled and Blessed Huge S/O to my brother Ed @blvk_smokesbbq187 for bringing me on as one of the sponsors for team @kingsmeatandbbqsupplyco And thank you Ant! @cornerstonebarbecue for allowing me to be a part of this super dope and successful event. I built this rig specifically for the @bootsbrewsnbbq event and now it’s available for purchase, hit me up if you’re interested…… but know that it will NOT fit through any standard sized side gate leading into a backyard (it’s a Big Boy!)💪🏾 TEAM @kingsmeatandbbqsupplyco ⬇️ @blvk_smokesbbq187 @bbqking_15 @papakingofkings @butter_knife_shawty @texicali_q @get_it_proper_bbq #ɢᴏᴅɪsɢᴏᴏᴅ #Jesusismyboast

Wagyu Beef Back Ribs- There’s something about beef back ribs that hit different and I’m here for it it lol, normally I can’t find beef back ribs that are meaty enough but these bad boys were thick, juicy and packed with flavor and my new @yodersmokers YS640 from my friends over @sd_grill_pros did not disappoint at all.

Smoked Bacon-Wrapped Chicken Thighs 🥓🍗 Juicy, tender chicken thighs wrapped in bacon, smoked low and slow, then finished with a sweet and smoky BBQ sauce. 🔥🥓🍗 Seasonings: • @smokinrubens SPG • @kendrick_bbq All Purpose • @chef_merito Tenderizer I generously seasoned both sides of the chicken thighs and let them sit for about 5 minutes to give the seasoning a chance to settle in. Then I wrapped each thigh in bacon and placed them in the @masterbuilt smoker at 240°F with apple wood. They smoked for ~3 hours until the fat had rendered nicely. I sauced each piece with BBQ sauce, bumped the smoker up to 275°F, and let them cook for another 30 minutes to set the sauce and finish them off. Pulled them from the smoker and let them rest for 15 minutes before serving. Tender, smoky, juicy, bacon-wrapped perfection! 🔥 #BBQ #ChickenThighs #Homecook #EasyRecipe #Dinner

Last weekend at @kingsmeatandbbqsupplyco was a good one. They had @ninetysevenespresso in the house and @apex_precision_sharpening in the back sharpening knives. This is why I shop there. It's truly the best place for barbecue supplies, equipment and the best prime meats. Peep the new seasonings by @barrelandspiceco some of the best flavors your going to find. @bigsexybbqrub 's Sexy Cowboy seasoning is one of my faves. @smokinrubens is on the bottom shelf but is a top shelf quality 😉 Some BBQ community supported big brands like @melindasfoods and @chef_merito I'm stock. Of course @jealousdevilcharcoal because it's the best 🔥 Go stop on for yourself and see what's new! 1386 E Foothill Blvd j, Upland, CA 91786 📍

Grilled up some fresh cut 12 ounce rib eye steaks from @blackangussteakhouse Yes! You can get fresh steaks from Black Angus. @redbeardsmokers made a new grill grate for the grill I have. A rounded grilling surface was a fun change. Of course I kept it simple but flavorful with @pompeian olive oil and SPG but @smokinrubens I paired some crab claws I got from @sitkaseafoodmarket They were so delicious 😋 fueling this cook was @jealousdevilcharcoal When grilling quality meats it's perfect. It burns really clean so all you taste is the meat. This was a fun afternoon grilling. Nothing crazy complicated or exaggerated. Just quality ingredients and products resulting in a good meal. #outdoors #barbecue #grilling
