Aaaaaaauuuuuuggggggghhhhhh!!!!!

I CANT GET PICTURES ON MY PHONE!!!!

DTVT- Always knew you had the skills, cant wait to see your creations.

For me, not going into the gourmet stuff(ill do that later) but for comfort foods, it has to be cheese pizza and turkey bacon clubs. I look forward to rubbing one off to all this epic food porn, then posting some thread winners.

This is my favorite cajun dish, crawfish etouffee.

I love etouffe. We do it at my restaurant with scallion rice. Godlike.

We used to have a tradition of eating shrimp etouffe for the Super Bowl but my wife got tired of missing the game. She uses Paul Prudhomme's recipe. The house smells like etouffe for a week afterwards.

I'd rather it be crawfish but you can't get good crawfish in these parts.

In college at Louisiana Tech I had a friend in the dorm that would come back from the weekends with a big ole paper sack of boiled crawfish and we'd sit there and eat those things while watching the Headbanger's ball on MTV. It had just the right amount of burn so that your lips turn red.

MAN! I miss that!

Kibbe made my grandmothers way with laban and pignoli in the center and of course, grape leaves.

I got a huge jones for cajun fare. My favorite local restaurant is a cajun joint...crawfish etouffee, po'boys, gumbo, rice & beans, crab & corn chowder, sheppard's pie, coq au vin...all with the atmosphere of jazz and/or zydeco music.

and damn those catfish look good.

Nice stuff, DTVT, maybe we should work on your presentation though...

Tonight's special, Loch Duart Scottish Salmon, Wild Mushroom "Smashed" potatoes, Balsamic Roasted Broccolini, and a Pomogranate-Sage Buerre Blanc...

Roasted Swordfish, Grilled Asparagus, Favha Bean Potato Puree, Saffron-Fennel Butter Sauce...

And yours truly, showing of a Roasted Halibut, Maitake Mushroom Rissotto, and a Baby Fennel-Sun Dried Tomato Vinaigrette...

And since were sharing favorite foods(I was just feeding my massive chef ego above), here is one I posted a while back, me with 40 pounds of slow smoked pork shoulder(about 4 hours into the 6 to 8 hour process)....

Amazing memory, my man. Yes it was. We served it on hoagie rolls with a smoked cherry BBQ sauce, coleslaw, and a homemade cheddar sauce. Then I came profusely for hours on end. I think part of the smile that meal gave me is still on my face.(plus I won $350 on the squares, was a good day)

I could kill that easy. Then have some pecan pie afterward.

You know my wife graduated from New York Restaurant School with honors but she doesn't care to work in the industry. $:\$

She's always talking about how she would be embarrassed to go with me to a gourmet restaurant. I'd be like the redneck in this old commercial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xBydH93eDY

Anyway gourmet restaurant portions are too small.

lonestar · « **Reply #49 on:** July 16, 2011, 09:41:29 AM »

Thats why they do multiple course menus. I know of a couple places that go up to 18 courses.

Does your wife cook a lot at home?

There's a place in Somerville Mass that makes a killer fried catfish in cornmeal. I love having hush puppies and succotash with it. Great southern food up north. Also some killer beers to go with great food. Check out their menu.

Lasagne. In fact, I'm making some right now.

lonestar · « **Reply #52 on:** July 16, 2011, 09:54:34 AM »

Damn, you guys would love my place. Gumbo, etouffe, red beans, halibut with corn pudding, etc. My boss is a killer when it comes to southern. And dont get me started on the potlikker greens.

Speaking of Red Beans you recipe went over too well. Families minds were blown and I told them they needed to travel 3000 miles to try the real thing.

Cool, gald to hear it.

TempusVox · « **Reply #58 on:** July 16, 2011, 10:06:17 AM »

My favorite meal of all time is a classic southern dish. Soup Beans (pinto bean) and cornbread. Cut up some onion and mix it all together, and serve it with some fried potato slices. MY GOD!! I could eat that everyday for the rest of my life. Seriously!

Also, LOVE Red Beans and Rice with Andouille Sausage from the Praline Connection in NOLA. (Bosk, you know firsthand of what I speak

) AMAZINGLY GOOD!!

Also, I LOVE Mexican food.

I also like Avacados a LOT!!

I don't cook. So yes. But she only cooks stuff that the 12 year old will eat. That means no foo foo stuff.

Before we adopted our son she used to make some awesome stuff and I'd pick challenging things out of her Bon Appetit magazines. Poached sole with shrimp sauce was one of my favorites. But it's been 10 years since she's made it. If she had her way we'd have steak every night. These days she sticks with the cheap and easy stuff that the kid will eat.

Is it in San Francisco? I lived about 4 blocks from Union Square for about 7 months while working on a project for California State Automobile Association.

I was fresh out of college and as green as a John Deere Tractor. The vice president of my company flew up from South Carolina and took us out to eat at a place called "House of Prime Rib" (I believe). I had to wear my tie and coat. My work clothes in other words

. I made a number of mistakes there.

1) I sat at the end of the table so that when the guy rolled up with the big grill looking thing, he came to me first.

2) He asked me what cut I preferred. Sitting there bewildered at how to answer my boss sitting on the far end of the table yelled, "how do ya like it cooked?" Finally understanding, I answered, "well done!"

What followed was a long awkward silence from the whole dining room (sort of like the old E.F. Hutton commercials https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SX7ZEotoFh0). Finally, the same boss yells again, "Charles, you don't order prime rib well done!"

3) On the dessert menu I didn't understand everything in the ingredients for any of the dishes. So I saw something with "bananas" and thought, "I like bananas I'll get that." Well I had never heard of desserts with alcohol it in and I had never really drank much in my life much less any of that fancy stuff you put in desserts. I couldn't eat it. It tasted so nasty to me.

That was probably 17 years ago and I still chuckle about that.

My place is across the bay in Berkeley, but I know of the House of Prime Rib well. and I must be honest, rookie diners are an endless of amusemment to us.

Ah. I didn't venture out there but one time and that was just to see the university campus. One other interesting place I remember from SF is The Stinking Rose. Does that place still exist?

I also remember a coworker of mine driving me into the middle of the mission and getting the biggest burrito I had ever seen.

I gained 20 pounds during the 7 months I lived there. The company paid for all my meals so I dined well.
