Myron Mixon's Pork and Chicken Injection

[the dude abides]

So, along the same vein as why a Myron Mixon brings in ratings. I was just watching the Golf Channel and there's a new show starting on there called "Being John Daly". Now if you know much about who he is you'll know that this guy's life has been one filled with extreme highs and extreme lows. This will likely get ratings, at least ratings the golf channel will appreciate. Because we all love a train wreck.

Same goes for Myron Mixon, we watch because we either love to watch the train wreck or we love to hate. Either way the network doesn't care. As long as we watch, and talk about it so others watch, it's a winning strategy for them.

Every show has to have a villian....if not, it would be just plain boring! Myron was probably the closest thing they had, so I wouldn't doubt if they asked him to ham it up a little bit. Without actually knowing the guy, I would have to say the Myron you taking little whitty shots at Tuffy to be funny, laughing and congratulating Johnny and Jamie was the real Myron.

Yea i get the gernal sense that he is a decent guy and just goes over the top for the cameras either to get more attention or because he's been told to do so.

Note:  Tuffys bbq resturaunt is about 5 minutes from my house here in Richmond VA.  LOVE that place!!

didn't your momma's tell you that you can't judge a book by its cover??

...true measures of men can be made in the first 7 seconds you meet them.  until that day, i will say that he's a pretty good sell for the pitmasters series...without him that show would be dull.

peace,

joe

Thanks Dude, that saves us $750.00 on his class. LOL

I've taken his class and this is not the injection he teaches for whole hog and pork shoulder. There's no Worcestershire sauce, orange or lemon juice. There is MSG and tons of it...

Have not taken his class but have his book. Love it. Not sure if it is the same recipe but if it is, I agree with BourbonBladesBarbecue except there's not really that much MSG in it, the recipe is just for a HUGE batch. The batch is so big I actually developed my own injection based on his but make it based on weight of the meat with added STPP.

I might be in minority but I feel Myron's antics are likely showmanship and quite comical. That said, my pulled pork with that injection is better than ANY that I ever had and EASILY several levels above the average joe's "rub and smoke" pulled pork. Like it or not, he definitely knows what he's doing and IS a bad a$$.

Agree on the scale of the injection batch. However, I also reduced the proportion of MSG in mine. Myron's approaches a 1 part salt 1/3 part MSG ratio by weight and that's too much for me because I can distinctly taste the MSG. I try not to exceed 10% by weight.
