The Cookout Ep. 4: Garlic-Butter Grilled Cheese Dog

Two comfort-food legends, mashed together and drenched in butter. Let's go.

Here's the play:
• Score the dog so those butter pockets hit every bite
• Butter bath: Melt ½ cup butter + 3 minced garlic cloves, herbs if you're fancy-brush dogs all over
• Grill indirect at 400 °F, roll 'em every couple minutes until blistered & juicy (= 8 min)
• Buns: Paint the insides with that same garlic butter, toast cut-side down till golden
• Cheese crust: Throw a handful of shredded cheddar/Jack on the hot griddle, then press buns on top
• Assemble: Drop the dog in, spoon on more garlic butter
• Optional dunk: Serve extra garlic butter on the side for reckless dipping

The Cookout Ep. 3: Smoked Bologna Sandwich

This ain't your childhood lunch meat. We're smoking a 3 Ib bologna chub low and slow until it's bursting with bark and flavor.

Here's the play:
- Score the chub
- Binder: French's mustard
- Rub: Rolling Bones Perpetual Pork
- Smoke at 250°F for 2.5 hrs, rotating every 45 min
- Glaze in the last 30 min with Lane's BBQ Kinda Sweet
- Rest, slice thick, slap it on white bread with mayo & sharp cheddar

Serve it cold or throw it on the griddle to crisp it up. Either way, this sandwich is smoked bologna redemption.
