Honestly didn't even think of something like hibachi on there but I'll have to try it out! Im gonna be the king of onion volcanoes

 

It’s the @Ken special

 

Good lord that looks incredible, @Ken does not fuck around. (im definitely stealing that green chile salsa idea for next time I do them too)

 

My wife and I were kicking around the idea of getting a blackstone so that reel has been living in my head as the first thing I want to try.

 

I ate good yesterday.

Beef birria ramen


Penne pasta w/ chicken, broccoli, pesto

 

Damn

 

I got a blackstone this summer basically just so I could make smash burgers and it was totally worth it

 

My coworker thinks it's weird I dip my baby carrots in peanut butter. Let me live!

 

Nachos and wings for trivia night. Proud to say we did not get last place ha.

 

Bought some chicken of the woods today. Does anybody have some cooking tips with them?

 

It was okay. It has a nice lemon flavor to it and I do see where the chicken flavor comparisons come from, but the texture is way dryer than most mushrooms I've had.

I tried cooking it a few different ways. First simply with a lot of butter plus salt and pepper, then frying with a light egg wash and seasoned flour. The frying was a little better (I soaked them in water for 30 minutes first as well), but both times it came out super dry.

I've still got a little more left, I'm going to try it in some soup or something creamy.

 

So crazy to see my burger here (Houston/Le Voyageur)... all the other finalists look so good. They're making enough for everyone at the finals to try them (guests at the event and other participants), really intrigued by the nacho burger.

Edit: They deleted that video and uploaded a corrected one.... previously saying "see you in Sonoma" and now Napa, where, even then that's also wrong since it's in Saint Helena.

 

JFC, that dude's food looks amazing. All of it.

 

As someone who doesn't eat meat so this means nothing, yours legit looks the best to me!

 

Also I just discovered from James Acaster standup that the slit in the cheese grater slices the cheese. I used it to make grilled cheese. All my life I didn't know this. I never even wondered.

 

James acaster is the absolute best and that cheese grater bit is what got me into him!

 

Haha thanks! I've made veggie versions of this (beyond beef and portobella mushroom versions) for friends and they've said it tastes great.

They'll post the recipe on their site sometime soon, but here it is.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 pounds ground beef (80% lean)
• 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 6 slices Swiss cheese
• 6 brioche burger buns

Sauce:

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Toppings:

• 6 strips bacon, cooked until crispy
• 1 avocado, sliced
• 1 cup arugula
• 1/2 cup pickled red onions

• Instructions

1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, red onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Gently mix everything together until well combined.
3. Divide the beef mixture into six equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty, ensuring they are evenly sized and compacted. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent them from bulging during cooking.
4. In a small bowl, prepare the sauce by combining mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, balsamic glaze, honey, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
5. Grill the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the desired level of doneness is reached. During the last minute of cooking, top each patty with a slice of Swiss cheese and cover the grill to allow the cheese to melt slightly.
6. While the patties are cooking, toast the brioche burger buns on the grill until lightly golden.
7. Once the patties are cooked and the cheese has melted, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
8. To assemble the burgers, spread a generous amount of the sauce on both sides of the toasted brioche buns. Place a patty on the bottom bun and top it with a strip of crispy bacon, avocado slices, a handful of arugula, and a spoonful of pickled red onions.
9. Close the burger with the top bun and gently press it down to hold all the delicious ingredients together.
10. Serve immediately and let your taste buds embark on a flavor-filled journey. Pair them with your favorite Sutter Home (recommendation: Merlot) wine to enhance the experience.

I also cook these in a cast iron skillet as I feel it held the juices better together than losing it on the grates of the grills.

 

shout out to james acaster, i am currently reading Perfect Sound Whatever

 

Justine snacks on tiktok made a baked salad so I tried a version of it and it’s just a lovely way to use up some autumn veggies. The crispy beans are a game changer.

 

Sutter home is doing a people’s choice vote now… if any of you have IG and want to vote for mine that’d be amazing!

I was so excited to tell this to my bf and he already knew! And never told me! Literally

 

I won a pizza oven at my work event!!! I’m so excited, I’ve always wanted one but never pulled the trigger on buying it

 

Anyone have any favorite pumpkin seed recipes?

Right now, I've got these in the oven:
