Tri-Tip Sizzles in New York Times
This may be one of the best lines ever uttered about Santa Maria tri-tip: "East of the Rockies, the tri-tip roast is like the Sasquatch of meat."
Best of all, this line comes from the venerable New York Times!
Indeed, in a recent story about tri-tip and the elusiveness of certain cuts of meat from region to region, the Times' Kim Severson details her futile quest to track down tri-tip east of the Rockies. She writes, "Back in Northern California, where my tri-tip courtship began, you couldn't swing a piece of red oak without hitting one…I have asked for tri-tip in grocery stores from Chicago to Tampa, only to be met with the pleasant stare that comes when the inherently helpful are completely baffled."
She concludes, "Perhaps the tri-tip is simply suffering from a branding problem in the East. Or maybe the people in California are eating more than their share."
Here's how Severson describes tri-tip: "The tri-tip roast, beefy and juicy beyond its price, which rarely tops $8 a pound, is California patio food made for grilling. Seasoned with garlic, salt and pepper, cooked over red oak in a style that has come to be called Santa Maria barbecue and sliced against the grain, tri-tip is essential to Central California biker bar sandwiches and community fund-raisers."
That is true. Of course, we'd like to remind everyone that you can enjoy tri-tip at numerous establishments besides biker bars and fundraisers, but we're not going to get pretentious about it!
And for those of you who are wondering what tri-tip is, and how it became synonymous with Santa Maria Style Barbecue, check out our short history on this distinctive homegrown cut.
Thanks to Kim Severson and the New York Times for turning the spotlight on tri-tip and Santa Maria BBQ.
BBQ Alive and Well at Dia de los Muertos
In Santa Maria, tri-tip is so revered that it is even presented as a hallowed offering at the Santa Maria Valley's annual Dia de los Muertos celebration where people build elaborate altars in memory of a deceased loved one.
Indeed, "Day of the Dead," or "All Saints Day," which is officially on November 1, will be celebrated in Santa Maria on Sunday, November 2 from noon to 5 p.m. at the Veterans Memorial Community Center and at the adjacent Veterans Memorial Park. Here large, colorful altars are erected and decorated with photos, mementos and even the favorite foods of those who have passed.
Festive music, dancing, performances and food (including tri-tip sandwiches) are also an important part of the afternoon. Make no mistake, the Day of the Dead is alive and well in Santa Maria, and so is barbecue!
P.S. The nearby Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes Center is presenting a Day of the Dead exhibit featuring the work of David Lozeau (pictured here) showing through November 16.
Art & Americana in BBQ Land
As any barbecue afficionado will tell you, there is an "art" to the process of cooking meat that often ties in closely with regional culture and history. Such is certainly the case with Santa Maria Style Barbecue, which is linked to Santa Maria Valley's early rancheros; cowboys; Swiss-Italian immigrants; and founding fathers.
In this spirit, the Official Santa Maria Valley Barbecue Blog tips its hat to the upcoming premiere of Antiques, Art & Americana, a celebration of history, arts and unusual antiques taking place on November 1 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Historic Santa Maria Inn and at the nearby Santa Maria Valley Historical Society Museum. Highlights of the day include talks by local historian and columnist, Shirley Contreras, who will also share the history of the Historic Santa Maria Inn; the wooden creations of Keith Zimmerman, including models of horse drawn carriages, carousel animals, antique aircraft and western figures; vintage toys from the Souza family's private collection including American-made trucks, tractors, fire engines, Lionel Trains and accessories; and handmade teddy bears by Hattie Stoddard who is well known as the designer of Annette Funicello's signature line of collectible teddy bears.
Wine tasting, gourmet baked goods and a display of 19th-Century wedding gowns will also be a part of the day, while vintage automobiles will be on hand to shuttle attendees the short distance between the Historic Santa Maria Inn and the Santa Maria Valley Historical Society Museum.
More High Desert Sizzle
What in the heck is going on out in the deserts of California? Something tasty, that's what!
A few years ago, we reported about a Santa Maria BBQ joint in Palm Desert called Warehouse BBQ.
Now comes word of another Santa Maria BBQ outpost called Twisted Tips BBQ Fusion in Tehachapi, on the mountainous border of the Mojave Desert and San Joaquin Valley approximately 150 miles due east of Santa Maria.
Twisted Tips BBQ Fusion is owned and operated by Mark Hitt. As the story goes: "Mark was born and raised in Santa Maria and grew up with a passion for perfecting Santa Maria-style tri-tip. In 2004, Mark hitched up his BBQ pit and relocated with his family to the beautiful mountain town of Tehachapi. After years of sharing his traditional Santa Maria-style tri-tip BBQ as well as Asian and Mexican-influenced BBQ dishes with close family and friends, he took their advice and decided to share it with the Tehachapi community."
And so Twisted Tips was born this fall, bringing Santa Maria Style Barbecue to the hungry denizens of Tehachapi!
We have written about Santa Maria BBQ purveyors from Hawaii to New York and in between, but it sounds like something special is really cooking in the southeast of California. It's just the latest evidence that while Santa Maria BBQ is a local culinary tradition here on the Central Coast, it continues to cultivate good taste across the nation and beyond!
Celebrating The Art of BBQ
Most hardcore barbecue fans would agree that there truly is an art to cooking, grilling or smoking meat. Thus, it's no surprise that barbecue will play a prominent role on October 4 at Santa Maria's 31st-annual Autumn Arts Grapes and Grains Festival.
This family friendly street festival takes advantage of the Central Coast's idyllic fall weather . . . when the coastal fog retreats while the sunshine plays on. Celebrants can look forward to live music, arts and crafts vendors, wine and beer tasting, a chalk art expose, a "paint" run and a fine arts show. Add to all that cooking demonstrations and a variety of food vendors and you have a can't miss afternoon.
The day's Santa Maria Style BBQ tri-tip delicacies will be expertly served up by the Minerva Club, one of the longest continuously running women's clubs in California that was founded by pioneer women in 1894. In 1928, Julia Morgan (the architect of Hearst Castle) designed the group's clubhouse, and in 1984 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Meanwhile, G. Brothers Smokehouse will present its famed barbecue chicken and ribs. The brothers pride themselves on smoking all meat on-site using an authentic, high quality, wood-burning smoker flown in from Mesquite, Texas. As ever, Santa Maria takes its barbecue seriously, with much flavor, color and flourish!
Small Town, Mighty Flavor
In the pantheon of regional American barbecue, Santa Maria Style Barbecue tends to fly under the radar compared to other styles such as Texas, Memphis and Kansas City barbecue.
Why is this? A lot of it has to do with the size of the other regions, either geographically or in terms of population. Kansas City and Memphis are both large metropolitan areas, and Texas is the largest state in the lower 48.
By comparison, the City of Santa Maria's population is barely more than 100,000, and the city resides in the heart of a rural valley, surrounded by ranches, vineyards, open space and shoreline.
Simply put, no matter how much we scream and shout, we'll never be able to make as much noise as Texas or Kansas City!
But those in the know recognize Santa Maria BBQ as a culinary equal of the larger regional styles, and the latest example comes from restaurateur Rob Serritella, who just opened a new barbecue joint in Santa Monica called Holy Cow (is that an awesome name or what!?).
At Holy Cow, Serritella aims to bend the best of many regional styles, including Santa Maria tri-tip. In this article in the Santa Monica Mirror, he states: "We tried to take the best things from places that do BBQ best like Texas, Memphis, Georgia, and the Carolina's – not necessarily stick with one particular method, just what we felt people would enjoy the best. I've been a tri-tip guy ever since my first trip to Santa Maria…It works stand alone, in a sandwich, or on a salad."
Serritella says he likes to slow cook his tri-tip, making his preparation more of a hybrid compared to true open-coal Santa Maria BBQ cooking, but it sounds like that's what his place is all about: mashing up the nation's best styles, including Santa Maria!
Local BBQ Seasoning in The Spotlight
Santa Maria Style Barbecue is the culinary hub of the Santa Maria Valley, but that hub has many spokes as local chefs and food purveyors add creative twists to our regional food traditions.
One example is Monkey Spit, a purveyor of spices and sauces based in the valley's rural Tepusquet area. Founded by Santa Maria Valley native Paul Smith, Monkey Spit's offerings are as creative as its brand name, and now find themselves in the spotlight in this recent feature story in the San Luis Obispo Tribune.
Smith started Monkey Spit in 2008, and brought on longtime friend Rudy Stowell as a business partner. Smith's family roots in Tepusquet date back to the early 1900s.
One Monkey Spit standout is the new Wimpy Chimp seasoning. As story author Katy Budge notes, "Using his family's longtime recipe for Santa Maria-style seasoning, he developed a slightly different twist on the dry rub, calling it a 'Nipomo-style' seasoning named Wimpy Chimp."
Of course, Nipomo refers to the small town north of Santa Maria, which has its share of Santa Maria BBQ heritage. As Budge notes, Monkey Mop "proved to be such a winner that it brought home competitive awards from such venerable barbecue cities as Kansas City and Mobile, Ala.
Meanwhile, Smith's sauces barbecue sauces such as Monkey Mop and Atomic Mop represent a departure from the local barbecue style, as Santa Maria Style BBQ is renowned for its sauce-free, dry-rub style. As Budge notes, Monkey Mop "proved to be such a winner that it brought home competitive awards from such venerable barbecue cities as Kansas City and Mobile, Ala."
A company from Santa Maria winning awards in such saucy barbecue cities as Kansas City and Mobile? Now that's what you might call monkey business of the highest order!

National Night Out cancelled in Linwood; Northfield event in doubt
Written by SUZANNE MARINO Wednesday, July 23, 2014 06:00 pm
|< Prev
|Next >
NORTHFIELD—Whether National Night Out is going to happen in Northfield on August 5 is still not set in stone despite it being just two short weeks away. In nearby Linwood, the plans National Night Out has already been cancelled according to Police Chief Colin Hickey.
Northfield Mayor Jerry McGee pulled the plug on National Night Out plans Monday afternoon saying as head of public safety for the city, he was not sure he could actually man the event with the necessary number of Northfield police officers to assure the event's safety which this year had been moved to the Northfield Community School.
McGee said no police officers had volunteered to work the annual event as of Monday.
The mayor added that he had not been consulted prior to a city-wide email blast listing upcoming events going out and the email included the National Night Out.
Late Tuesday evening McGee was asked if he had reconsidered the decision about National Night Out and the mayor said he could not do that, citing the fact that vendors had been notified the event was cancelled Monday, he could not in good conscience go back the next day and say it was back on.
Northfield has been facilitating the grass roots anti-crime event for the past 15 years and it has grown each year under the leadership of now-retired police Captain Art Faden, who last organized the event along the bike path in 2013.
The funding for NNO comes from the Northfield Municipal Alliance and because it is a venue where the police and residents spend the evening together it qualifies as an anti-crime event.
On Wednesday morning, City Council President Jim Travagline said a resolution would be on the agenda for the council's July 28 meeting and he is hopeful a majority of council members will approve the motion and put Northfield's National Night Out back on the calendar.
The council members will take a vote and unless they are deadlocked, the Mayor will not have a vote because of the strong council, weak mayor system in Northfield.
Travagline said that after speaking with newly appointed Police Chief Colin Hickey that officers have stepped forward to man the event that night.

Here We Go Again: Darwinius, the ICZN, and the Online Publication of Taxonomic Names
The newly described primate Darwinius masillae (Franzen et al., 2009) has been receiving tons of press heralded as being a 'missing link' in primate evolution (however see this article in Laelaps), however, it is not only the phylogentic position and its interpretation that is being hotly debated. Now the validity of the taxonomic name is being called into question because the name was published in the online-only journal PLoS One. Carl Zimmer's blog The Loom has a great discussion of this. Check it out.
Hopefully the ICZN will soon amend the code as advocated by Harris (2004) to deal with the increasing trend of online only journals and the early online releases (ahead of print versions) now popular with many journals.
This is becoming a serious problem.
Franzen, J., Gingerich, P., Habersetzer, J., Hurum, J., von Koenigswald, W., & Smith, B. (2009). Complete Primate Skeleton from the Middle Eocene of Messel in Germany: Morphology and Paleobiology PLoS ONE, 4 (5) DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0005723
Harris, J.D. 2004. 'Published Works' in the electronic age: recommended amendments to Articles 8 and 9 of the Code. Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature 61:138-148.
5 comments:
Bill, my continuing adventures on the ICZN mailing list are not encouraging: there is A LOT of opposition to recognising electronic-only publishing from old-schoolers who do not believe that digital papers can be adequately conserved and reliably found. That makes no sense to me, but that's reality as the community around the Code sees it.ReplyDelete
It seems to me that the code is in danger of becoming an irrelevance. Its very existence depends on the community agreeing to respect and adhere to its rules. I strongly suspect that people will simply ignore the restriction on electronic publications and continue to cite and use Darwinius, Panphagia, etc. etc. as valid taxa. And if people use them as valid taxa, well then dammit, code or not, they ARE valid taxa.ReplyDelete
The code has to be flexible enough to serve the needs of the community (admitedly while being rigid enough to provide the stability that it was invented for in the first place. If it doesn't maybe an expanded phylocode that deals with species as well as clades will supersede the ICZN altogether. Interesting times, no?
I think that among many, the code *will* become an irrelevance on account of issues like this. Even if some idiot went and renamed taxa like Maiacetus and Darwinius and Panphagia in a "valid" format (which would like mean an obscure journal of limited circulation), I suspect that people would ignore these sorts of papers in favor of the original description. I know that I would!ReplyDelete

Guys, the ICZN discussion is over....PLoS made the requiered printed copies of all the articles that include new species.ReplyDelete

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Road tolls could fund improvements
Winnipeg's roads are in bad shape, to put it mildly, and the city's coffers aren't exactly overflowing. That makes it tough to scratch together funds for roadway maintenance, let alone improvements. Even projects as crucial as the unfinished inner ring road could bump up against budgetary constraints. Despite the fact Canadians already pay steep gas taxes, current roadway expenditures exceed gas-tax revenue. That is largely due to decades of federal and provincial governments using gas taxes as slush funds. Fixing badly damaged roads is more expensive than routine maintenance, so years of neglect have meant we will pay dearly to fix what we have. Money for new roadway improvements will have to come from somewhere else. The best place to collect that revenue is directly from drivers who use those roads -- particularly those who don't pay property taxes in Winnipeg. That is why Winnipeg needs road tolls.
Municipal road funding comes mainly from two sources: property taxes and transfers from the provincial and federal governments. Since non-residents who work in or regularly visit Winnipeg don't pay Winnipeg property taxes, they are getting a free ride. Yes, they pay provincial and federal taxes (including gas taxes), but those taxes aren't paying for the entirety of current road expenditures, let alone required maintenance and expansions. As such, they are the first people we should look to for revenue-generating purposes.
Toll roads are a good way to finance high-traffic roads, particularly those with heavy traffic congestion. But they can also be a way to charge users who would otherwise not pay for roads. Some municipalities, such as Vancouver and New York, use bridge tolls to charge commuters from outside those cities who don't pay local property taxes, and, hence, don't pay for road maintenance. That is a reasonable approach. It only works when there aren't many convenient alternative routes for drivers to evade the tolls. Fortunately, that's not much of a problem in Winnipeg.
There are 15 major connections to Winnipeg's outer ring road, the Perimeter Highway. That is the ideal place to start tolling. While elaborate road-pricing schemes such as those found in London and Stockholm are more expensive than can be justified in a smaller city without serious traffic-congestion issues, a more modest tolling system aimed at those 15 intersections would be relatively cheap to implement. Since the city already uses photo radar, it already has the administrative capacity. Bills could be sent out by the month or could be charged to credit card accounts. The city would simply need to buy and maintain 15 cameras.
Some non-residents who work in or visit Winnipeg would take secondary roads to avoid tolls, and others would take fewer trips. Having some traffic pushed onto secondary roads wouldn't be a problem so long as the numbers weren't too high. The city could simply expand the number of cameras to fix that if it became a significant problem. And while some of the 79,000 non-residents who enter the city every year would take fewer trips, few would opt out altogether.
Let's assume 50,000 drivers enter Winnipeg from outside the city on a daily basis for work. There are 250 weekdays in 2014, but we'll assume the average driver misses 20 days of work for holidays and sick days. Moreover, we'll assume zero weekend trips into the city. That adds up to 11,500,000 trips per year from daily commuters. Let's further assume another 25,000 commuters travel into the city less frequently. Some who telecommute, work part time, do business in the city fairly regularly or visit for personal reasons. We'll conservatively assume they take 100 trips into the city per year. That adds up to another 2,500,000 trips per year for a total of 14,000,000.
Assuming each driver paid a net $3 per day, after the cost of administering the program, the city would receive $42 million per year. That would be enough to cover the $560 million required to complete the inner ring road in just over 13 years.
Though out-of-town drivers would surely be upset by having to pay tolls, they are not only paying zero property taxes in Winnipeg, but they are also paying fewer property taxes to their own municipalities than Winnipeggers pay to theirs. It only makes sense they should pay something to use Winnipeg roads. There's nothing wrong with commuting from outside the city. But it shouldn't be a method of avoiding taxes. A small toll to compensate Winnipeggers makes sense.

Just kegged my first ever sour this past weekend. Brewed a Flanders Red recipie from Jamil's book, hit the numbers almost exactly like the book said. Aged for just shy of a year on Wyeast Roselaire only, no other yeast used. Tasted the hydrometer sample, and there is a definate sour tang to it. From what I remember it is somewhat like La Follie, so it is drinkable. I was thinking about splitting the 5 gallons and backsweetening to get something more like a Monks Cafe or Dutchess, a little sweet with the cherry taste to it. Probably too late for the cherryness, but how can I get the sweetness to it?
That's a good question since the bacteria can pretty much break down any sugar that I can think of.
Your only options for sweetening before hand are pasteurization or artificial sweeteners. I would just add some simple syrup to the glass.

November 27, 2014
Platte River State Park superintendent passes away. Roger Sykes, the first and only superintendent at Platte River State Park, passed away suddenly Tuesday morning in an Omaha hospital following a brief illness. He was 66.
Sykes, a 43-year employee of the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission, became superintendent at the then-new Platte River State Park, located near Louisville, in January 1982. Game and Parks officials say he was instrumental in development of the park and has been its steadfast steward.
"Roger was a wonderful ambassador of Nebraska parks," said Game and Parks Director Rex Amack. "His commitment to excellence and hospitality resonated throughout the agency. Our heart-felt sympathies go out to Roger's family."
Sykes began his Game and Parks career in June 1968 as assistant superintendent at Buffalo Bill Ranch State Historical Park at North Platte. He became superintendent at Fort Kearny SHP near Kearney in October 1970 before moving to Platte River SP in 1982.
Funeral services are pending at Fusselman-Allen-Harvey Funeral Home in Louisville.

Samsung Smart Signage
Using their experience gained in developing SmartTV for the home user, Samsung has integrated Smart chip technology into their range of commercial displays; ranging in size from 32" to 95" depending on your needs.
Signagelive has been working with Samsung HQ in Korea since the summer of 2012 to develop support for the Smart Signage Displays and we now have a solution that replicates everything we can achieve on an external Windows player running the Signagelive Standard Edition.
The resulting Samsung Smart Signage and Signagelive solution offers a reduction in cost of up to 50% in the purchase and running a digital signage display, when compared to alternative solutions.
The Samsung Smart Signage Displays bundled with Signagelive Standard Edition is available globally through our network of distributors and resellers.
