Mercedes Mow-down -The Story of Clara Harris

A love triangle...or maybe it was a heptagon?  Everything is bigger in Texas so probably the later!  This story has lots of twists and turns...literally ending in a turn of a steering wheel to cause the murder of a husband and father.   Join us on this episode of Dinner and Drama with Kristin & Drew as we explore the story of Clara Harris, a well-off dentist in the suburbs of Houston Texas, who was betrayed by her equally well-off dentist husband who was found to be cheating on her with a newly hired co-worker.  This story includes everything you've come to expect from a murder drama:  A private investigator who is hired by not one, not two, but three of the characters in this drama, a pair of alleged lesbians doing lesbian things (you know going to the mall), a cheating husband, a grieving daughter, and of course an enraged wife who committed a crime in a fit of passion.  Join us for the Mercedes Mow-down!

Barbeque- Slow Cook:

Slow cook with charcoal between 200 and 225 degrees.  

Smoke with apple wood chips. (We had read to use any fruit wood chip.)

Barbeque until reaches internal temperature of 160 degrees.

Although cooking times vary, ours took almost four hours.

Sous vide @ 140 degrees for 2-4 hours and finish on Gas Grill will work too.

 Top with Garlic Herb Butter: 

Combine 1 stick of salted butter (softened) with 2 cloves minced garlic and 1 Tbsp minced parsley.

Serve:
Serve by cutting the ribs off the chop.  Serve with your favorite sides- mashed potato and baked apples
