Ever had a total failure, a flop, a dish that was bad?
I know I have!!

Too many to count. Some I've fixed the next time and some I've just chalked up to a bad idea and moved on.

Yes, just last week with my marinara sauce. Normally very good but watching TV rather than watching the pot resulted in some severe scorching . Dumped the whole shebang.

This is what happens when you forget about the chicken wings. Mike
Know fat, know flavor. No fat, no flavor.
I tried going vegan, but then realized it was a big missed steak.

of course. Just not often, nor ever twice with the same dish.

Woke up under a cooker one morning that had a smoldering pig that looked about like that.

I put 28 butts on one night about 9pm to ccok all night in my big cooker.
They were pre-ordered as a money maker for a charity event. (Walk for Life)
Woke up to check on them about 2 am and the rendered grease had ignited.
My grill looked like a cherry red locomotive with fire coming out the stack about 3 feet.
Thank goodness I had it far enough from the house. It was very impressive. lol
Calmed it down with the water hose and went back to bed.
Had to call all those folks and put them off until the next weekend. I went and replaced the butts on my dime and made it right.
I don't cook for charity much anymore.

Yes,
I tried to make salmon sausages. The spice mix wasn't too bad, but the filler I used produced a consistency was a dead ringer with play-doh.

I made somekind of fish stew once and it tasted like bilge water.

I moved out at 18 yrs old, before I graduated. I burned many round steaks and roast trying to learn how to cook meat rice and gravy. I made sure to teach my kids how to cook so they could eat our staple meal the rest of there life.
There's noting like a good pot roasted round steak with gravy over rice, potato salad and french bread!

most of my failures involve trying to bake with old baking powder and my reluctance to throw anything away. i've learned to only use fresh baking powder and toss it if you can't remember when it was bought and more important when it was opened.

should also mention that the biggest fail is folks that don't let charcoal burn down and ash over. been to many a bbq where i could taste starter fluid. i probably did this myself, but if i did, it's been a very long time ago.

I just keep adding hot sauce. Tabasco can mask a lot of mistakes.

THIS BIG TIME! I can't stand when I am invited to eat at someone's house and all you taste is lighter fluid! My dad is 74 and still does this - I don't like his BBQ - On that note, I love my Big Green Egg.

That's what beer is for. Drink a few while the coals are getting up to heat. Sometimes I make the other mistake, let the coals burn down too much and it takes forever to cook.
