After I mentioned getting this at a restaurant the other week, my friend tried his hand at making it. I think his version looks better than what I had in the restaurant.



Cuban Turkeyburger

Turkey burger with ham, swiss, mustard, pickles and a little mayo, pressed on a cuban roll.

4/13/2010 1:10:58 PM

YUMMY! I want to try that, Kirk.





Tuna Nicoise is one of my favs ... NOM!

4/13/2010 1:14:13 PM

I had this on Saturday morning, including the potatoes.. sooo yummy

Eggs Benedict

4/13/2010 2:42:22 PM

NOM!

Hollandaise is my weakness.

4/13/2010 2:43:47 PM

I tried eggs benedict once, but I can't eat eggs cooked like that.

Anyone tried this yet?

4/13/2010 2:45:57 PM

I wish I could, but I think it would give me severe heartburn. Greasy, cheesy foods don't work well on my stomach.

Also on the list of things that I'd love to try, but would pay for later with indigestion:

I'm going to give it a shot in the near future. I don't even know where a KFC is near me.

I don't think I'd like to try that, at least not much more than a bite. Too rich for my blood.

4/13/2010 2:55:23 PM

I don't think I hate anyone on this site except for you.

4/16/2010 12:37:54 AM

i removed your picture at the request of someone else
do you see any other porn in this thread

4/16/2010 12:46:26 AM

^Yes!

I really don't care what you did though. It's just a message board. Who cares if something gets deleted?!?!

4/16/2010 12:51:53 AM

For your breakfast-viewing pleasure, QUICHE!!!

oh my, how have i never heard of this?

Bacon Explosion

(pics of how it's prepared in the article)




http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/28/dining/28bacon.html

Quote :

"He bought about $20 worth of bacon and Italian sausage from a local meat market. As it lay on the counter, he thought of weaving strips of raw bacon into a mat. The two spackled the bacon mat with a layer of sausage, covered that with a crunchy layer of cooked bacon, and rolled it up tight. They then stuck the roll — containing at least 5,000 calories and 500 grams of fat — in the Good-One Open Range backyard smoker that they use for practice. (In competitions, they use a custom-built smoker designed by the third member of the team, Bryant Gish, who was not present at the creation of the Bacon Explosion.) "

4/20/2010 10:18:57 AM

^ I would so eat that

Also, seared scallops w/bacon braised chard:

4/20/2010 10:37:36 AM

^^I'm considering several mini versions of that to throw on the pig cooker for Buck's party

4/20/2010 10:39:20 AM

a friend made a bacon explosion for a dinner party a few months ago

it was pretty inedible

4/20/2010 10:39:21 AM

oh really? everything i've read is "heart attack on a fork but sooo good". tell me what was wrong with it.

4/20/2010 10:39:59 AM

it was just too much

people's boners for bacon is such a silly fad

4/20/2010 10:40:37 AM

^ LIES. Bacon is AMAZING.

Could you deep fry that bad boy instead?

Deep fried bananas as desert?

4/20/2010 10:41:38 AM

^^yea, bacon is hella salty, and that pic looks like it would be way too salty. maybe dial back the bacon a bit, get creative with some sliced white onion in the center...hmm. this could work.

^my guess is that the banana would be way too mushy to actually enjoy once it's done being fried. but if it somehow didn't come out mushy...oh hell yea.

4/20/2010 10:42:48 AM

Well, if you make that while I'm in town, don't dial back on the bacon. The saltier the better. Then again, I'm not sensitive to salt and my blood pressure is too low.

4/20/2010 10:44:01 AM

you should freeze the naner first if you're going to do that

4/20/2010 10:45:22 AM

When I see this thread I think about reenacting the refridgerator scene from 9 1/2 weeks with lucyinthesky.

4/20/2010 10:45:38 AM

is anyone else turned on by lucy's pic of bananas on a skewer?

4/20/2010 10:46:14 AM

^^^ Yes. Def frozen first.
^^ Would you settle for the breakfast cooking scene from Hot Shots Part Deux?

Yes. Yes, I would.

4/20/2010 10:47:41 AM

OMG COOK AN EGG ON MAH TUMMY

4/20/2010 10:48:00 AM

Dude, I always wanted to try the olive trick. Olives rock.

4/20/2010 10:49:06 AM

last night i had a pizza

but this pizza was a roasted red pepper and roma tomato sauce, duck confit, aged Garrotxa goat cheese, caramelized vidalia onions

just thought i'd share

it was good

4/21/2010 11:01:58 AM

4/21/2010 1:23:43 PM

^ they cook with too much butter for my taste

If it comes out like banana spring rolls then it's AWESOME.

4/21/2010 1:25:15 PM

^^Ya srsly, look at the butter/oil just pooled under that steak

^Banana spring rolls? Where'd ya get 'em????

4/21/2010 1:26:04 PM

Fried plantains are really good. They are a little mushy after being cooked but not so much so that they aren't enjoyable. I imagine bananas would be the same.

4/21/2010 1:28:26 PM

my subconscious got the best of me

first thing i saw when i looked at the cut out part of the steak was a vagina

^plantains much better than naners to fry, due to fiberous nature

one of my favorite garnishes is to take the mandolin slicer, and run a plantain down (skin on) to about a 1/8" slice, long ways

when deep fried, the skin makes it curl up like a potato chip

tastes flippin' awesome and looks cool as shit

and you can stick them into things for presentation

That's probably an intentional move from their marketing department.

My colleagues and I constantly trying to sneak phallic objects and sexual innuendos into our marketing pieces.

P.F. Chang's has them on the menu son. That's where I've had them. They come with a big slab of coconut ice cream in the middle, caramel syrup all over everything and blueberries, strawberries and blackberries dispersed on the plate too.

4/21/2010 1:31:36 PM

^that sounds heavenly son

4/21/2010 1:32:44 PM

I just found this recipe for plantain-stuffed chicken and ham roulades. HEAVENLY:



Will have to attempt at home.

4/21/2010 1:33:50 PM

I LOVE THIS THREAD!

PLEASURE OVERLOAD !!!

4/21/2010 1:35:50 PM

4/21/2010 1:36:33 PM

^^^ Yeah I want that son.

4/21/2010 1:36:43 PM

Oh god, now I really want to go out for Cuban food.

4/21/2010 1:38:22 PM
