I can live on Mexican food alone. (with an occasional BBQ)mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
-
Anthony's Home Port. Crab legs. They're cheap here. Alittle St.Michele Chardonay (None of that lousy Cali wine here, only the Best Washington state wine) ;) Top off the night with a stop at Krispy Kreme donut shop. :) Total for two for the aforementioned (with Starbucks after the wine): $70
For less expensive meals, there is a family owned Mexican restaurant just down from our house, great Sonora-style Mexican food. Total for 4 with 2 beers $40
-
Buffalo Burgers!
I almost watermelon my pants when i was at the Con and went to the Big Buck's Brewery. I was dang near 2000 miles form home....and i could still eat a buffalo burger! Hadnt seen any other place that had them on the trip down.
It tasted a bit different because i imagine the bison wasnt free range fed, but still it was damn good.
My secong favorite is ham that i get from a local farming commune just outside the city i live in. They have all sorts of stock and an apple orchard. And they feed the pigs the over-ripe apples from the orchard....well you can only hope to imagine what the ham tastes like.
-
Poutine!
-
Brats, Tatersalad, and an chilled "ebbelwoi"...mmmmm:)

Hey Rip, I got a bottle of Ste. Michelle Chardonnay in my fridge right now as a matter of fact. Of course I cook with it far more than I drink it. I don't really care for whine, I mean care to drink wine, but I love to cook with it. :) Used some last night as a matter of fact. Deglazed a pan with it, then added some garlic before throwing in a can of tomatoes. made a great sauce to go over sauteed chicken and rice. ;)
Favorite regional food? you mean favorite food local to my area or favorite food that's local to an area not my own?
Local... fresh yellow fin tuna steaks (grilled, blackened, or seared). once a local restaurant had a daily special where they pan seared the tuna steak, then deglazed the pan with Captain Morgan's (or some other spiced rum) and then proceeded to make a pink peppercorn cream sauce. Was absolutely fantastic. I don't think that restaurant is open anymore though. :( The Fish House does a tuna steak with a wasabi cream sauce.
Other regions... hell, I like everything. BBQ, Mexican, Italian, Chinese, Japanese... :)
-
Caspers hotdogs...
They make the best Chili cheese dog on the planet!
As far as I know they are only in the bay area.

Messican all the way over here in Arlington where I work Krusher ;) There's a restaurant off 360 called Marianos that's authentic.
-
Nifty, is Della's Mexican Rest. still around in Pensacola? It was the best Mexican food I've ever eaten. It was there late 60's early 70's.
-
Nifty, don't EVER tell my wife you cook with St.Michele, she'll throw an empty bottle of California wine at you (one she just used for cooking with...) :) Then she'll say this (http://www.siberkat.com/thewavs/wrongm.wav) to you.
-
Barbecued kitten.
-
Barbecued kitten yes, but don't forget poison gassed dog as the main course. Finger lickin' good.
-
LOL :D
-
I love Tai food..Yummy..:)
-
"Onigiri" (Japanese rice ball with filling), although, hard to find those in Belgium...
Othr than that, it usualy consists of Khebab, Burger, Chicken Khebab...
I'd have to side with the froggies for the wine though.... mhhh ...
-
I don't live there anymore but I'll have to go with Chicago italian beef sandwiches and Vienna Beef hot dogs with the orthodox condiments.
-
Damn Funked, now your getting me salivating for one of those famous Philly Cheese steak sandwiches..best food I've eaten was the 2 years I lived on the East coast...
-
Now that you mention it....a Meatball "Grinder":)

poutine is the ultimate meal. And with the 3000 calories and 50 grams of fat in one plate you dont have to eat for days!

Nothing like grilling Brats, Sauerkraut and drinking a cold Import. Nothing. The wife even dove one time when I dropped a Brat, she caught it. She's a keeper.
Karaya2
I usually hit up the Red Robin by us. Ragin' Cajun Chicken Burger or the Five Alarm Burger. Keep the fries a comin'!

Curries!
Rogan Josh
Jalfrezi
Dopiaza
I miss a good old fashioned UK-Pakistan-Indian fusion.
-
Back home to Wisconsin - Brats boiled in beer, then cooked on the grill. Drop 'em in a rye bun with saurkraut, onions and mustard and enjoy!
Can get close here in Oregon, but this god-forsaken place doesn't know what the hell a rye hot dog bun is. Here they come in enriched white crap or, if you're lucky, wheat.

SOB, How long do you boil them in Beer? I've never tried that and sure as hell would love too! If you wouldn't mind, I'd appreciate it.

and...

-
nothing beats pinto beans,collard greens,corn bread,and fried green tomatoes also a large glass of ice cold milk.:)
-
Sushi for me please,
If I was in Austin, it'd be County Line BBQ, but I've learned to love me some raw fish. :eek: Spicy tuna handrolls, shrimp tempura with peanut sauce, washed down with lashings of ice cold Asahi beer. Mumm.
Dinner sounds good at Rips and Nifty's house. I'd bring some Kali wines for a taste off! :cool:
Damn... now I'm hungry.
-

Your on. If you wander up, bring your poison and I'll pick some of my poison up. Pike Place market is 30 min away, roughly $5 a lb. for Dungeoness, $15 for Snow crab. Butter clams in wine sauce....damn, I just had lunch and now I'm hungry again!
-
Blanquette de veau ....
and ...
and ...
and ...
you havn't guessed yet ? :D
I'm french you know .... :p
ok ... I'll stop the suspens now :)
my all time favorite is snails with a lot of Garlic butter and a fresh Baguette :)
-
Why you froggies enjoy eating invertebrates is beyond me Straffo! :D However, when I come to Europe, I fully expect you to direct us to a fine French restaurant with you and yours accompanying us....just hold the Snails, I'll take some extra wine instead. :)
-
We eat invertebrates because they are defenseless :)
The Snails got really little horn compared to a beef so it's less dangerous than a T-Bone ;)
in fact snail + butter + garlic is just a PC way of eating load of butter and garlic + a little meat inside ...

MONK STOP POSTING PORN!!!!

Oh..(Rip walks away whistling....), Hey, at least they're not your ordinary Garden variety! :D
-
I'm sure you meant to say Mollusks.
Then again there are some Mollusks that I really like to eat:
Oysters
Clams
Abalone - Just a really really big snail
Calamari
Octopus
Your typical garden snail is not much different than the ones used in French cuisine. Just think of it as a 1 shelled clam. :D

All the talk about brats beer and German food reminds me.
November 2nd a me and a few bikers friends are scooting down towards (from Dallas) NewBraunfauls to the wurstfest.
Any Dallas area bikers want to tag along?

Smoked swordfish. At Jimbo's World Famous Seafood Restraunt Virginia Key, FL!

My wife and I love to go to a pub, and enjoy a nice cold brew and a sandwich. We don't have any good pubs down in LA (we are moving back north very soon. Since home for us is in Oregon, I consider that "local".
Any McMenamins (house special steak sandwich, and a hammerhead)
http://www.deschutesbrewery.com Best beer, great pub food.
When I get a taste for seafood, my favorite thing to do is go to the Nestucca river on the Oregon coast, rent a cheap boat with some crab pots, crab for a while, and have steamed crab right there at the dock. Fun time (though hopefully soon, I won't be renting the boat or pots anymore).
-
Rip, I'm not talking about the Ste. Michelle reserves ($35+)! Just the basic $10-$15 bottles of chardonnay.
hehe, besides, why drink wine when I've got my home brew!!! :D Going through some Honey Porters now. The Cherry Stout should be ready for drinking this weekend. :cool:
-
No need for a restaurant Rip I've a wife you're safe from bacchelor's kind of food :D
-
The Cherry Stout
Nifty
I'm a big stout fan, but I can only imagine. Have you brewed this before? Heavy and rich with a sweet edge to cut the bitter?
Charon
-
Phew where do I start, not to brag, but we do have quite a lot to choose from, and ranging from delicious upwards.
- Gazpacho (cold veggie soup)
- Spanish Omelette
- Paella
- Arros negre
- Fideuŕ
- Jabugo Ham
- Fuet (some kind of saucisson)
- Botifarra amb allioli (beef sausage with local garlic sauce)
- Andalusian small calamari
- and a long etc...
Feel free to come here to check if what I say is true, you won't regret it ;)

6. Arthur Bryants
.......... in that order too! ;)

Now wait a minute there mister! When you say Pasties do you mean those pie like things with meat and turnips and other root vegetables baked inside? Because that happens to be one of my wifes childhood favorites, but she is from the UP of Michigan.
She says they used to make Pasties for the miners to take down into the mines (iron ore). Frankly I can't stand the things.

Going to have to with loser on this one. Poutine is the bomb.
-
Charon, I haven't tried this one before. I used about 3/4 of the bittering hops, so I'm hoping that with the cherry flavoring will produce a smooth stout. It was a fast fermenter, but it still stayed in secondary for 3 weeks. been in the bottle for almost 2 weeks now. Hopefully will be ready to go on the weekend.
I think I'm going to do a cream stout next. uses a lb of lactose along with the malt extract for the sugar content. :) Might even get frisky and bottle with raspberry flavoring. ;) At any rate, it'll be fun because it won't be an ingredient kit like I usually get.

Method 1:
Get some beer, preferably cheap beer (I generally go with PBR, just to be a good Amurrican), and a large onion.
Chop up onions to whatever size you'd like to eat them, and throw them in a big pot with the brats, then dump in enough beer to cover 'em and then dump in another can for good measure. I always add some pepper and salt.
Bring to a boil, then lower the temp so the beer doesn't foam over - cook until the brats are cooked through, then transfer them to the grill to brown 'em.
Serve in your bun of choice with the onions, saurkraut if you so desire, some spicy horseraddish and stone ground mustard.
Method 2:
Season the brats with pepper, then brown them on all sides - you can do this on your grill if you've got a gas grill, if you've got charcoal I'd recommend just doing it in the oven under the broiler. You don't need to cook 'em through, just get 'em good and browned.
Place browned brats in a single layer in shallow pan(s) - square cake pans work good for this - & throw in plenty of chopped onions. Season with plenty of pepper and salt to taste, then fill with beer until the brats are covered.
Transfer to a hot grill for 30-45 minutes (depending on how hot your gill is).
Both methods produce a different brat, but come out tasting yummy yummy yummy!

Fresh Bay Scallops, scallop stew, casserole
