Food 2: Chew Harder • Page 98

I like adding peanut butter. We're doing a chili cookoff at work today and I tried a new recipe, but I'm not sure how it's going to go. By a new recipe I mean I mashed like 4 recipes together. Added some miso paste and soy sauce for a little umami kick and a little cinnamon from Guy Fieri's recipe. Also did the thing where you reconstitute dried chilis in boiling water then blend it, I used the immersion blender and basically made pepper spray and burned my eyes and throat with the steam.

 

Y'all aren't putting actual chilis in there? I always do like pasilla and a hotter pepper and saute it with the onion and garlic.

 

My wife loves Hawaiian-style chili, so she’ll put ketchup in here as a secret ingredient

 

is it just chili with rice?

 

It’s eaten with white rice, yeah. But from my understanding, it’s typically on the sweeter side (some recipes I’ve seen add sugar, or as my wife does, ketchup)

 

Sounds good to me. Let me know when you need my address to send some over

 

gotta toss a couple canned or dried chipotles in there for the spice/smoke. I also keep a variety of dried peppers in the freezer. Usually pasillas, arbols, guajillos, chipotles for a bunch of different spice levels. The arbols really kick things up a notch if you're brave. Also a fan of a liiiiittle bit of dark chocolate and cinnamon in there on occasion.

 

The Irish blood in me cannot handle moderate amounts of spice lol

 

I put loads of chilis in too, I just figured that was a given that all chili would have peppers lol.

 

Saw this at the food lion yesterday. Stopped me in my tracks.

 

It makes a big difference imo. I usually use some kind of märzen/festbier but anything that’s not crazy hoppy (or a barrel aged stout/sour) would be pretty good!

 

I am a sucker for Wendy's chili.

I made smashed potatoes like potato skins last night and they were really good. I par-boiled the potatoes, smashed them on a sheet tray, and then roasted them in bacon fat. Then I topped 'em with melted colby jack, bacon, horseradish sour cream, and a ****-ton of chives.

 

Got this from a BBQ truck about an hour from where I live. It's hard to find good BBQ up here ha, so I'm glad I found this place. Should be going there again on Sat for a special cajun menu they're serving.

Cheesesteak w/ smoked tri-tip, peppers & onions, and hatch chile queso.

BBQ plate:
•pork belly burnt ends w/ ginger-soy glaze
•sausage w/ smoked chicken and pork, crispy bacon, dill, scallions, and ranch powder
•mac n cheese w/ roasted green chiles & garlic bread crumbs

 

Speaking of chili, I found a really good meatless chili recipe. Made with black beans and split red lentils.

 

Went back to the BBQ spot this past weekend. Order came with rolls, pickled okra, jalapeños, and pickles.

• Pork Spareribs w/ sweet tea glaze
• Brisket Boudin sausage
• Stuffed Quail w/ Cajun dirty rice filling
• Chicken & Andouille Gumbo
• Soft Shell Crab and Fried Green Tomatoes, both cornmeal fried so they look the same in the pic haha

 

The breakfast food at most fast food places is typically disappointing, especially at Dunkin & Starbucks, but I do have a soft spot for that bacon, egg, and gouda sandwich at Starbucks. It's too expensive, but it always hits, even when it's bad.

 

Yeah it’s way better than it should be

 

I just ate one and I could easily eat two more. But alas, the decades menu is here, and I have plans for an early dinner.

 

The egg white wrap at Starbucks is low-key fire

 

I need to try that.

 

Made some roasted salsa verde

 

that looks fantastic

 

hell yeah
