Cheese curds?

re: Cowbell and Hi Hat

I give the edge to cowbell on the mac n cheese and to hi hat on the burger even though I wasn't as impressed as glass...but it was over cooked, they didn't ask me a temp so next time I will demand mr-r...glass guarantees I will be mire happy and I'm sure he's right...also want to try cowbell again, not for the burger but for the ribeye!! Saw it in New Orleans Magazine and it looked great!!!
Take a piece of ur filet and wrap it then put it in the freezer, not to freeze it just to firm it up...this will help when slicing off ur pieces for the carpaccio. After slicing it as thin as you can then pound it out between the Reynolds wrap...top with some good olive oil, capers, red onion and maybe some fresh reggiano cheese and off u go... Good eats!!

Whenever I compete in BBQ competitions I always use the "tips" to give away as samples, you just have to be careful not to overcook them. There is a little extra work involved but for half the price you get a lot more meat and if you're cooking for a crowd it gives you something to put out as finger food until the main course is ready...maybe use a different type of sauce to have a different flavor...or zia's thai rib sauce...just a thougt
Good thing...i've been cooking my pork like steak for years...!!! if i wanted cardboard for dinner i would have kept the box that the pork came in!!!

Buy a few pounds of yukon gold potatoes and cut them in half...boil them in salted water for about 5-10 mins...you don't want to cook them all the way through...strain and let dry then put in a casserole dish in the oven with a stick of butter and a lot of fresh garlic...let roast until completely tender then top with fresh grated peccorino regiano or parmesean cheese and chopped green onions....very simply and very good.
I've made this several times and everybody raved about it...if you find a decent butcher he will even slice the brisket real thin for you. Makes a lot bc you have to buy a whole brisket but your friends will be impressed...

try it out
Saw Emeril do a sugar and cheyenne crusted salmon once...i tried it and it was awesome. I'm sure if you googled it you'd easily find the recipe. Very easy to do and delicious too.. :geauxtigers:

DERRRRRR nevermind...it's in the SUBJECT!!! :banghead:

To that note...i think he's talking about the food not the service...but I'm not him...he's a big boy... :pimp:
did someone delete the on point thing? BC i thougt i remembered reading it earlier but don't see it now...
Hell man's costs more than Blue Plate...WOW!
I've got one of those wall mounted commercial ones that they sell at restaurant depot. It's VERY difficult to cut the sweet potatoes but the eggplant is easy as can be. :geauxtigers:
What do they serve with the spears? I've done some before but can't settle on what kind of sauce to use with them...put a whole eggplant through one of those french fyr cutters...PERFECT spears...

when I was a kid my Grandpaw used to pickle whole peppers with merliton and carrots and all of that. LOVED IT. In fact I might try that this week.

Last week I FINALLY perfected a pickling recipe for my Daikon and Carrots...though I doubt it would taste great with japs... :geauxtigers:

Went a few months back and LOVED the carpaccio...it was the only reason that we went. Only place in town that I've found that does it. The crawfish diablo is as good as it was 20 years ago. Really nice place on Wednesday nights too...the bar has %50 off and I think the appys are reduced too..
