John Berry, the culinary craftsman and host of the Okie Smoking podcast, welcomes listeners to another episode filled with savory surprises and backyard cooking wisdom. This episode is particularly special as it combines classic cooking with innovative twists that are sure to intrigue both amateur cooks and seasoned chefs alike.
At the heart of this episode lies the unexpected marriage of peanut butter with the classic BLT. The creation of a peanut butter and jelly BLT might raise some eyebrows, but John’s daring culinary experiment brings a new dimension to this beloved sandwich. By adding goober—a peanut butter and jelly blend—he elevates the sandwich with a nutty and sweet twist that scores a respectable 6.5 out of 10 in his book. The discussion doesn’t end at the sandwich; John teases the idea of trying different jelly flavors, suggesting that grape jelly might have earned the creation an even higher rating.
The podcast doesn’t just tell you about these delicious twists; it shows them. John recalls his first live cooking event, where a simple mistake—forgetting to season a smashed burger—turned into a serendipitous hit. The spontaneity of live cooking adds a thrilling element to the episode, making listeners feel as if they are right there with John, flipping burgers on the Blackstone griddle.
In addition to these tantalizing tales, John introduces the “Okie Backyard Kitchen Show,” an exciting new segment that promises regular live cooking sessions. This interactive component invites the audience to watch culinary magic unfold in real-time, enhancing the community feel of the podcast.
