Tonight, Chris Cognac, the Hungry Detective (who has been kind enough to read here in the past) will be in South Carolina on tonight’s show at 10:30 PM EDT. The main topic mentioned in the listing for tonight’s show is barbecue.
What does this mean to me? Well, at least one barbecue joint Chris visited is the One of a Kind Smokehouse, with Ken and Holly Blacklidge. Ken and Holly have become family friends since my wife and I visited last October while staying at a family member’s house nearby. Now, every time we’re there, we stop by, multiple times. Ken and Holly run a great place, with real, honest barbecue with some great twists like bacon wrapped shrimp and smoked salmon.
If you can, either watch, tape or Tivo tonight’s show. And if you’re within reach, make a trip to the Smokehouse; you’ll not only get some great barbecue, you’ll get treated well.

Curt,
I love his show on Food Network! My son and I got into a fight last night because I wanted to watch ‘Food Detective’, and he wanted to watch something else. I hope that isn’t the episode I missed. That is really neat that you have gotten to know him!

Laura, I don’t really know Chris, just a couple of emails back and forth. The last bit of, yes, last night’s show (don’t worry, they repeat them) was with Holly at the One of a Kind Smokehouse. Holly and Ken own the place, and the smoker they showed was built by Ken. Very nice retisserie smoker that runs on pure pecan. The last load of pecan I used up was from the woodpile they showed last night!

Had the opportunity to work with them twice and loved every minute of it.
Can’t wait for season two cities!
