Otis, did the show give the Bon Ton's recipe for crabmeat au gratin?
They didn't provide the proportions/ratios, but they did tell you it was butter and flour for the light roux, with sherry and milk as the sauce, mixed with mushrooms, lump blue crab and topped with American cheese

No way it has 5 difference cheeses because it's not cheesy. I never eat the cheese on the top, so I don't know whether it's American or cheddar. I eat around it. I also don't let them dump it on my plate. I like it in the casserole dish because it retains heat better that way and I like hot (temp) food. When they dump it, you can see that it's not a thick bechamel. The sauce runs off the crabmeat onto the plate, so basically, you get crabmeat "coated" with some sauce.

Besh said it not me. And it is american cheese. And I still think it sucks as a dish.

I know you do, Glassman. It's the reason why we would have been divorced, eventually...

It is a very light bechamel. If you don't eat the cheese then you could order it without the cheese and the bechamel would probably lightly brown and add texture and flavor to the dish. I would not have a problem with that at all.

Food wouldn't be the reason. My ex has a very limited palate. She likes going to decent places but, isn't adventurous at all.

Am I the only person who hates when people get meat and cheese only at Mexican places or on their burgers?

I love cheese. Just not on seafood 99% of the time. I can eat a nice cheese with some fruit and good bread for dinner. All washed down with a nice bottle of wine.

I think you misunderstood me. I meant people who order these awesome fajitas or tacos and ask for meat and cheese only (no sour cream, no guacamole, no salsa, no grilled onions/peppers)

If anything I would omit the cheese and use the other stuff. I get your point now, dear. Sorry, I had to.

I just saw Besh pitching this as one of the greatest dishes on "The Best Thing I Ever Ate"...recipe from Bon Ton...haven't had their's, but I have to agree, crab/seafood done well with a good cheese is as good as it gets.

That's what I said before...crabmeat au gratin done properly with a light sauce, no heavy duty seasonings and light on the cheese, if any, is very good. Same with crabcakes. If you put a gazillion things in them, they may as well not have the crab.

I do agree with that. Crabmeat is my favorite (:

This doesn't bother me at all. I actually like the fajita meat without all the other items and not on the tortilla. I like to eat it right off the skillet, as is, much of the time. Sometimes, I load everything on the tortilla, but 9 times out of 10, I eat the meat and the vegetables. However, I usually eat the rest with chips or my fork, just not altogether.
I don't get upset over how other people eat their food. I just think they might be missing out on certain dishes, but that's not my problem.

I love fajita meat too. Idk if that was the best example, but I just get so sad when people refuse to eat salsa or sour cream or guacamole or lettuce :(
THEY'RE MISSING OUT ON SO MUCH!
