The word is getting out about a couple of guys on local television that bring all the grill has to offer right to you. See what all the buzz is about on their grilling show on Mondays and Wednesdays at 6:30 p.m., anytime online at kdcg.com or on their Facebook page at facebook.com/cajungrilling.
Keith Guidry, of Percy Guidry Hearth and Patio fame, is one-half of the dynamic duo. Keith has been a grill enthusiast all his life. On the show, Keith’s incredible personality comes right through the screen, and while he’s sure to tickle your funny bone he definitely knows his way around a grill. From cooking temperature to base and accent woods for the perfect fire, Keith shares his lifetime of grilling knowledge with the audience. Curt Guillory makes up the other half of the show.
Curt’s expansive knowledge of food and cooking techniques is always on display. If you want to know the “why” behind the technique, Curt’s your guy. From denaturing proteins, to the Maillard reaction, to what pâte a choux means (it’s cabbage paste), Curt is always dropping knowledge bombs as to why they do what they do, and how it can make you a better cook.
Grillin’ with the Guru isn’t just about crazy food. According to the gurus themselves, “We want to show everyone how to make the most of what they already have.”
Love-n-Honey Poulet
The sweet, natural flavor of honey is a perfect accent to the rich and spicy chicken. Use a meat thermometer to make sure the chicken isn’t overcooked. The perfect temperature is 165-170° in the thickest part of the breast.
