Reptiles aren’t made for eating unless you’re at Great Depression levels of poverty. I’ve had gator. Frog legs , rattlesnake, turtle, tortoise, and they all suck balls. Doesn’t taste like chicken. Tastes like swamp.

Fried rattlesnake at the Rattlesnake festival is good, frog legs are good, turtle soup is good, You uppity son of a bitch!

Just my favorite grilled chicken recipe for a summer meal. Marinated overnight in beer, mustard, onion, garlic, spices. Then I boil down some of the marinade with a couple tablespoons of brown sugar for a glaze to finish off.

I would like trout if it didn’t taste like trout. Great efforting on all those dishes.

You’re an opinionated son of a bitch, a quality which I generally admire.  But god apparently wiped his ass on your palate when you were born. Sorry for your loss.

The shrimp/crab combo looks excellent, but I have to comment on the ceviche.  I had never made it myself until about two years ago.  It's incredibly easy, damn tasty, and an easy way to impress guests.  I usually use snapper, but I got some fresh tuna on my last trip to Rosemary Beach and used it for ceviche.  Good stuff. 

I usually use snapper, but the freezer where we were staying was stocked with tuna they had recently caught, so I went that route. No shrimp due to food allergies.

I was born in a time “seafood” consisted of canned salmon, tuna fish, fried catfish, and shrimp of varying quality. Most fresh fish was not, and few folks knew how to cook it. Hence I don’t like freshwater fish of any sort, including fancy stuff from Eric Ripert.
I eat all shellfish, most mollusks, and lots of sushi.

I also don’t like beets, mushrooms, or sweet potatoes. Don’t drink milk, ever. I bet I have drank less than a gallon of white milk in my life and zero in my adult life.

My Dad wanted some brats of all things for his 92nd birthday.  We had done some killer dogs/sausages copying a place called Dat Dog in new Orleans a few years back, but my Dad wanted something simple.  He actually wanted a tortilla (as is the proper way, with mustard).  But I looked up gourmet hot dogs to get some inspiration and there is some new chain entering Austin called Dog Haus, and they use Hawaiian rolls for all their buns.  So that became the option for everyone, rather than the tortillas.  Turned out pretty damn good, as I love Hawaiian rolls anyhow.  We always do Hawaiian rolls with our rib eye roasts, but I think I have a new bun for a leftover philly next go round!

Just a simple Brat with Sauerkraut and mustard. But damn it was delicious!

Ever try adding a little horseradish to that marinade?

I could give it a shot, I’m a pretty big fan of horseradish. The marinade I use started as a recipe in the BBQ Bible that I ended up changing over time but it’s pretty much the same concept: 

https://barbecuebible.com/recipe/brazilian-beer-chicken/

I don’t use the bell pepper but sometimes do chop up a jalapeño or serrano. I use more paprika and prefer Hungarian hot paprika and some smoked paprika. And I have done the whole chicken cut up but usually just get skin-on thighs because they are so good. And as I mentioned, instead of brushing with the plain marinade during the early part of cooking, I boil the marinade down a bit with brown sugar and it makes a nice glaze.

The Hawaiian hot dog buns at H‑E‑B at legit as well, but I kinda prefer the use of the rolls here. Nicely done.

Your brats look way better than Dog Haus. When they opened in Arlington I was excited but it was a real disappointment in food, service, and concept.

PSA... Costco has the 4 burner 36" Blackstone with hood for $400.  That's $100 cheaper than you can find it elsewhere.

Elk enchiladas.

Special thanks to whoever first posted to fry corn torts in oil for a few seconds before making the enchiladas.  Always takes the enchiladas to the next level.

Next try shredding your own cheese.

Learned this from my roommate junior year at Texas.  Blew my mind.  
 

She also had a killer gorditas recipe, and I’ve  never found anything that comes close.

Did up some chops tonight with garlic green beans. Can’t take credit for the pesto Mac salad or the pepitas sweet potatoes as they came from CM, but it all came together pretty well.

Hadn’t fired up the Blackstone since the 4th. Wanted some cheesesteaks. Always wanted to try the super thin sliced strip they had at Costco. Wife likes chicken philly’s. Boys are primadonnas who will eat their weight in steak, but the minute you say it’s a steak sandwich they balk. So, those spoiled fuckers got a prime ribeye. Blackstone nailed all of it. The Costco package made 6 huge sandwiches

Paired with homemade mustard blend

My death row meal is cheese enchiladas with beans and rice, but carbonara is a close second.  That looks incredible.  Nice work.

Fathead recipe. It’s legit, but calorie dense.

Had a bit of crab left over from the crab cakes with the trout.  So I decided to take a little crab, mayo, creole seasoning stirred it up and piled it onto an avocado.  Similar to a stuffed avocado you might get at a at a Tex-Mex place except not entirely beaded and deep fried.  But for a use up the last of an ingredient for lunch, I thought it turned out pretty good. Tasty and super simple.  I lazily just poured panko over the top and patted onto the crab.  I should have simply taken a second and melted the butter and stirred it into some panko and then capped the crab with the buttered bread crumbs.  Then the golden brown would have been consistent.  Using some of the wife's Remoulde sauce... did not suck!avocadocrabbefore.jpeg.3cd2e9490e9a4a0ab36ade0bde86440e.jpegcookedavocadocrab.jpeg.f9fdbc49c4168a7f5233cf7e98948802.jpeg

Italian Sunday feast today, because why not.

Braciole with pecorino romano, prosciutto, provole, and parsley inside.

Persian braised beef.  Fuck if I know if it's Persian but you had me at braised beef.  

Chuck, onions, beans tomatoes, cilantro, parsley, dill, lemon, mint, tumeric.  

It was really good.  Better than my pic. Will make again.

The marinade itself I boil at a roll about 5 minutes to kill the bacteria and reduce it a bit. Then down to a simmer to add some sugar to make it into a glaze.
