I love overdone, nearly charred grilled ___________!
Hot Dogs! I always ask for the most well-done one in the bunch. Skin blistered? Perfect!

Hot dogs here too, but more specifically, those in natural casings, with a good yellow or spicy brown mustard.
Slow-cooked ribs, then BBQ'd on the grill till they're slightly blackened and crispy on the outside. Damn I'm hungry now ... thanks a lot, Perksters! ;-)

Octopus. I generally don't like food that's cooked to death but there is something about Greek style grilled Octo with the olive oil and garlic that makes me eat a whole loaf of bread to accompany.

If no spicy brown mustard, hardly worth bothering with the dog. Yellow mustard? Never! I wouldn't turn down diced raw onions. Relish? Take it or leave it. Chili? Naw. I mean, no thanky.
Those ribs sound mouth watering luscious Cooksters - exactly how I likes 'em.

Oh chiff.......where do you get that? I've never heard of anyone eating that.
PerkyMac at 4:20PM on 05/25/08
Asparagus, Zucchini, Eggplant, Peppers, and Sweet Potatoes!
Oh, and Corn!
And, mushrooms!
And.... oh..... pineapple!

@McPerk, yellow mustard is a midwestern thang on a hot dog, and decidedly Michiganian. I grew up on the Flint coney with a squiggle of yellow mustard and some chopped onion, straight from the hand of Angelo's aging cook who made it that way. Dem's good eats!

@Perky--the first time I ever had grilled octopus and calamari was at my Italian friend's house. Her family owned a bunch of restaurants, but grilled octopus was never on the menu. Her family thought it was a hoot that I loved the octopus and wasn't freaked out by it...I guess they didn't realize that Korea (home of my heritage) is surrounded by the ocean just like Italy.
As for the charred hot dogs...it's gotta be charred just so, not so much that the charred skin is falling off, but a good amount of uniformly blistered and slightly blackened skin all around, and it's gotta be piping hot off the grill, so when you bite into it, the skin sorta "pops" and it's highly likely the roof of my mouth will be scalded by the juices. Masochist? Perhaps. Worth the pain? Definitely.

ribs. charred ends to make be happy...almost bark like. Yum. Pineapple grilled to the point of caramelization and garlic roasted in the oven until its almost chewy!
ChelleyD01 at 5:43PM on 05/25/08
Almost any sort of pork sausage. The fat keeps it juicy while the outside chars and gets all smoky.

Brussels!

@O'Lunacy......yellow mustard is THE mustard around here, too. I have to bring my own brown or suffer the consequences. BYOB means Bring Your Own Brown - always appreciate the reminder to add a bottle along with the alcohol of choice.
@chiff & wookie........where do you buy octo? I love calamari so I know I'd love that too. Now I must have it, I must I tell ya, I must!!!! Tears streaming.
So far, I'm wit all a youze guys - keep 'em comin'!
PerkyMac at 6:17PM on 05/25/08
@Perkmoninoff, apparently I also like charred el'cheapo burgers, too. I just had el-double-meat-o-double-cheese pre-smushed patties that I'd grillified too long, and it was danged good!
And yes, there was yellow(bellied) musturd on et ...
LunaPierCook at 6:24PM on 05/25/08
@Perky--buy octo from your fishmonger or at a large Asian mart in their seafood section or sometimes in the freezer section.
wookie at 6:58PM on 05/25/08
@Perky - I had it in a local Greek restaurant but any really good fish store should have it.
chiff0nade at 7:02PM on 05/25/08
Hot dogs or sausage for me too. Served with either Coleman's mustard or (all right, don't kill me now) ketchup, and nothing else!
brooke29 at 7:18PM on 05/25/08
bran muffins. rye toast . onion bagels........ yea it rips the top of my mouth!
rabbitriddle at 7:29PM on 05/25/08
Uhhh...howcome nobody has brought up marshmallows? Yeah, sausage patties and dawgs, and of course the classic burnt ends at some 'que joints.
lemons at 7:44PM on 05/25/08
Has the world gone cock-eyed? Mustard on burgers and ketchup on hotdogs? It's just wrong people. Backward, upside down, turned around wrong. Can you hear my hands wringing?
PerkyMac at 7:54PM on 05/25/08
@lemons: YES! YES! YES! Marshmallows! One of my faves! I am glad you said it. Charred on the outside, white, soft, luscious gooey in the middle. YUM.
I'll take the blackest hot dog please..:) I would also like that with cheese, ketchup, mustard, and relish (if sauerkraut is available-that too). Or I'll take chili and cheese.
Oh, and ribs too.
Butrflygirly at 8:26PM on 05/25/08
@Butrflygirly.............Ditto on the marshmallows (the only time and only way I'll eat them....maybe a couple smushed on a hershey covered graham? ;). I like them really brown on the outside and melted inside.
Also ditto on the blackest hotdog (ketchup? perish the thought). No one has mentioned cooking the hot dog on a stick over a hot fire or coals. So much fun. I have been known to rescue a few that fell in a got "burned" to perfection.
Oh, and ditto the ribs. Oh, especially the ribs.
PerkyMac at 12:23AM on 05/26/08
Is there anything better, coming off the grill, than ANYTHING TERIYAKI??? Maybe brushed with a mildy minted, clover honey for the last half minute of charring... TERIYUMMI!!! Hows about Chiffanode's Octopus Teriyake style???

I don't like overdone potatoes, but a crispy black skin with a nice, molten center on a potato is perfect.
I also kind of like 'overdone' folded potato chips, crispy fries, and the crispy ends of baked goods like brownies and the crispy 'bubble' part of pizza crusts although I couldn't eat 'a lot' of them...
HeartofGlass at 8:55AM on 05/26/08
Nuthin!!
izatryt at 10:15AM on 05/26/08
@Perky: Is it wrong that what I want right now is "burnt" marshmallows? I don't care it's 80 outside...
With a side of ribs?
Butrflygirly at 11:03AM on 05/26/08
Ribs for sure! I agree!
Any veg is good really charred (and if there's too much char, it's easy to scrape off!)
hungrychristel at 1:48PM on 05/26/08
Vegetables.
No love for grilled veggies unless they've got those telltale really thick grill lines.
jazzinx at 4:12PM on 05/26/08
I used to light my marshmallows on fire and then blow them out and eat them. Fantastic. Also hot dogs, and most meat...I like my steaks and hamburgers well well done (I think if the meat and marinade are good enough, there's no need to eat bloody meat). Also brussels sprout...almost anything, really, I like the burned/crispy parts of most food.
embolini9 at 12:04PM on 05/27/08
I'm not a fan of completely charred, but I had an uncle who ate his toast every morning dry, and as black as his coffee.
ajeys at 3:41PM on 05/27/08
Corn. I want that baby to have some kernels that are black.
Also asparagus. And my veggie burgers.
Not quite grilled, but when I roast my brussels sprouts, I want some of them to be black, crinkly and crisp!
Ohhh, charred hot dogs. When I did eat meat, nothing hit the spot like a Rutt's Hut Ripper...or a Cremator for the brave ones!
Bring on the carcinogens!
