Don’t Be Afraid to Get Bold in the Kitchen

We know you want to eat at our restaurant all the time—but that’s not always possible. So we’re sharing a few of our secrets to help you bring that dining-out experience home. One of the biggest secrets? Don’t be afraid to try something new.

Some of the best food you’ll ever eat didn’t come from a recipe. It came from curiosity.

At Dubz BBQ, we believe great cooking starts with confidence. Not perfection. Not fancy equipment. Just the willingness to ask, “What happens if I put this with that?” Sometimes the answer is magic.

Take Tammer’s Special, for example.

This sandwich didn’t come from a corporate test kitchen or a carefully written menu plan. It came from George’s brother Tammer deciding that regular sandwiches just weren’t enough. He wanted something bigger. Bolder. A little over the top.

So we built it.

Smoked pulled pork.
Loaded mac & cheese.
Melted cheddar.
All stacked on garlic Texas toast.

This one doesn’t mess around.

And that’s exactly the point.

Great food doesn’t always follow the rules. Sometimes the best flavors happen when you stop worrying about what should go together and start thinking about what could go together.

At home, you can do the same thing.

Start with something you already love. Maybe it’s leftover brisket from the night before. Maybe it’s grilled chicken. Maybe it’s mac & cheese your kids didn’t finish. Now ask yourself what would make it better. Add crunch. Add smoke. Add spice. Add cheese. Add sauce. Layer flavors the way you’d build a great sandwich.

Bold cooking is about stacking comfort on top of comfort until something unforgettable happens.

Another trick we use in our kitchen is mixing textures. Soft with crispy. Creamy with smoky. Sweet with savory. That balance turns simple ingredients into something people talk about long after the meal is over. Tammer’s Special works because the garlic toast holds everything together, the pulled pork brings the smoke, the mac adds richness, and the cheddar ties it all into one bite that feels like a full plate in sandwich form.

You don’t need permission to cook like that at home.

Try brisket on a grilled cheese. Add BBQ chicken to a baked potato. Put coleslaw on a burger. Stir smoked sausage into your mac & cheese. Build something ridiculous just to see what happens. Some experiments won’t work—but the ones that do might become your new favorite meal.

That’s how kitchen legends start.

Food should be fun. It should surprise you. It should make people look at their plate and say, “Why didn’t I think of that?”

So next time you’re in your kitchen, channel a little Tammer energy and build something that doesn’t play it safe. Stack it higher. Melt more cheese. Add the extra layer.

We’re always here when you want to dine out—but we’re just as happy sharing the secrets that help you bring the Dubz experience home.
