      Just answer the review
      I understand you are a protective mum, but your son/daughter decided to take a holiday without telling us. We had a busy night that night as we were shorthanded, but my employees are all so awesome and always want the best for our customers, they pulled together to make up the slack
      Or something like that, then leave it at that and leave her with egg on her face.

    Some free time at home with this quarantine so decided to give this a go. Man, it was good and everyone went nuts over it. Followed it pretty close but cooked it with a Weber Gas Grill using a smoke box and my own rub, sauce and injection solution. The most important thing learned was cutting and trimming the chicken in the beginning taking out the knub and cartilage which left for some real clean eats. When everyone started thanking me for the meal, I said don't thank me, thank this dude Eric Lee!

    Malcolm, you're a class act man, for real. You offer your own Killer Hogs products, but not only do you say in every video "you can use your own!", but then you go and link this guy's stuff, potentially losing money to the competition.

    There seem to be a lot of Americans feeling they lack culture in their roots. I've seen many such comments on videos and internet media. Then I watch these vids like this one and I'm like what are you all talking about, Americans are just awesome, and they do have a culture, and a great on at that. You guys are as hard working as you are smart and pleasant, you should be proud of that. Your own media is on a propaganda raid to make you feel inferior, that's just wrong and not true at all. If anything you should feel proud of yourselves, the american people are just great all around. Your government though , now that's a different story...
