I'll be on Okemo in VT this weekend doing some pre-season work on a friend's ski house. Very close to Tom's Loft Tavern. We'll be there every night.
Praying to JuJu that Tommy has the smoker fired up. The man serves up some great pub grub regardless, and I only get up there a couple times a year.

And yer Hoppin" Jalapenos are also known as Buffalo Turds. 

[shwung79]

[Buckshots]

Reb- I made your cukes and onions! I haven't busted them out yet though. I smoked a brisket on my big green egg and it is resting finally only took 14 hours. The point is sliced up and being turned into burnt ends as I type. Company is starting to arrive!

[Rebelss]

Ah, burnt ends and a smoked brisket.... a man after my own heart! Hope they complete the feast for ya, Philly!

I didn't get any pictures of the finished product. Everyone said it was awesome, I thought it could of been better. I am my worst critic though.

[Rebelss]

How'd the 'cukes turn out for ya? 

[Buckshots]

Pretty good although I think they could of used more cucumber.

[roostertail]

Next time you do the hoppin' jalapenos try using pieces of uncooked spaghetti noodles in place of the toothpicks to hold your bacon in place. The noodles cook while the rest of the food does and no toothpicks to remove afterward.
