Here’s a simple recipe we had with friends a few weeks back and have since made twice in the weeks following – Valentina Butter Shrimp. This one is of course another riff on the ever-popular and always-tasty classic Buffalo-style, butter and hot sauce combination; we like to use Valentina as it’s always handy, has great […]

Here’s another table salsa to enjoy during these dog days of summer featuring one of our favorite ‘cooking’ peppers – the guajillo. Of course this one’s great set out alongside a big bowl of good chips, though I usually whip up a batch when we’re grilling chicken, a firm-fleshed white fish, or shrimp (or sautéing […]
I don’t know how it’s been around your camp lately, but around these parts it’s been hot as hell lately (the ‘warmest’ day recently was 112). We’re still grilling good proteins, though occasionally that gets done in the morning, with the chicken, chops, steak, or tri-tip resting in the fridge through the blazing afternoon, and […]
As we’re finishing up a Montana | Wyoming run today (coming back to Texas in high summer can be tough), here’s a quick link to one of our Southern favorites this time of year – Sautéed Shrimp and Okra via Garden and Gun. The image is theirs, the pleasure will be all yours when stir […]
We’re in Livingston for a bit, spending time with (full time Livingstonians) Kaitlyn, Jake, and new grandson/fly fisher Brantley, and thought it’d be a good time to share some recommendations on dining when you’re lucky enough to be visiting this special corner of Montana. And between the five (well, ok, the four of us) of […]
Here’s one we’ve been fiddling with for months now after enjoying it for years at our favorite Thai places around the country – Larb Salad. We actually ended up reaching out to chef buddy Libby in Austin to see if she had a favorite version of larb; she tends to work very hard to reproduce […]
Been helping a friend work out a menu for a 4th of July party next week (where has the first half of summer gone!), and he and his lovely wife have settled on a grilled fish taco for the main event. Tacos are great any time, and can be shaped around just about any protein […]
Back a couple of weeks, entertaining company one weekday evening and caught without a fancy “company dinner” pre-planned, I did a bit of scrambling and combined several of our clans favorite flavors to whip up these Green Chile Salsa Burgers. I’m sure we’re not the first in the game to conjure up something like this, […]
If you’ve ever stood before your backyard smoker, or at the counter of your favorite BBQ emporium, and dreamed of creating ‘Q like the big boys can and do, read this great piece from Garden and Gun – Welcome to BBQ University. And damn, this look like a blast. If reading that gives the genuine […]
Our friend in Austin, Chef Libby, introduced us to this GGO Oil (or Ginger Green Onion Sauce) a few years back; she’d first tasted it when in New York and dining at Momofuko SSam Bar years ago. She pulled a big jar of it out of her fridge as we were building ramen bowls with […]
Continuing the run over the past few weeks of sauces and dressings for your summer table, here’s a couple that we’ve been coming back to over and over again lately – an easy Thai Peanut Sauce and Thai Peanut Vinaigrette. Coconut milk offers an amazing amalgam of great taste, a load of healthy fats (yep, […]
With this weekend (Memorial Day) being what many deem the official start of the summer season, for some reason we’ve traditionally thought of this as a rib weekend (along with the 4th). Most of the rib recipes we’ve posted here on Chi Wulff have been geared for the smoker, cooking low and slow, often using […]
More and more often these days, we find ourselves relishing the uber-satisfying, toothy goodness of great proteins sizzling hot off the grill – picture a juicy, brined, bone-in, thick-cut pork chop or ribeye sizzling and popping as it graces your plate right now… As satisfying as those flavors are – now and again we love […]
I’m pretty sure we’re not alone among our ChiWulff compadres in appreciating the versatility of the oft overlooked and almost always under-appreciated pork shoulder in the kitchen, on the grill, or slowly morphing into something magical in the smoker. I’m also pretty sure we’re not alone in developing an increasingly fond appreciation of the wonders […]
In honor of Cinco de Mayo, being celebrated tomorrow just about everywhere in the country if you dig around a bit, and observed with gusto here in the Lone Star State, here’s a quick and easy yet kinda uptown appetizer to set out at your next shindig (or perhaps brighten up your own Cinco de […]
