A1 Steak Sauce on a Burger?

@FastFoodCritic I love the Whataburger A1 Thick and Hearty. I like to stop and get one for breakfast, they make you pull to the side and it takes awhile but you get a hot fresh burger.

Sunday Brunch: Grits and Cheddar Casserole

what are "regular" grits? I have always used stone ground, so to me that is regular, and I don't see why it wouldn't work in this recipe.

Instant grits (quick cooking) are just nasty.

Going to pick strawberries... now what?

@lexophile
I took the family strawberry picking last weekend. We live in Orlando, FL. The place we went is about 20 minutes from Walt Disney World.

Serious Sandwiches: Chick-Fil-A's Chick-n-Minis

The minis are great, and the Chick-fil-a chicken biscuit is pretty awesome also. It is their standard chicken fillet on a buttermilk biscuit. Hands down they have the best fast food breakfasts.

How To Make Pig Candy

I saw a very similar recipe on the PBS show "Diary of a Foodie". They visited Heston Blumenthal, and then their recipe was to make bacon and egg ice cream similar to what is made at The Fat Duck. They candied the bacon similar to above, and then made a custard ice cream without tempering the eggs so it had bits of scrambled egg in it. It looked pretty good.

Unassuming, simple, home-made, organic and heavenly delicious Moorenko's in Silver Spring, MD is a hidden gem. Try the white chocolate pistachio and you will discover why. YUM!!

A1 Steak Sauce on a Burger?

Sorry, I don't use A1 for burgers. I've tried A1 on burgers several times in the past, and it just doesn't work for me. I'm a ketchup and mayo guy myself, but I'm starting to use less and less condiments. I save the mustard for dogs.

A1 is ok for steak if it's a cheap cut. I consider steak sauce a guilty pleasure and I don't care what snobs think about it. I used to like H57 too, although I haven't had it for 20 years (I can't remember how long it's been). I'm not sure if I would really enjoy it today. When I was 16 I worked at Ponderosa steakhouse (horrible steak) and they had a H57 knockoff that I loved with fries.

When I was in Kenya (while in the USMC), they didn't really have "catsup" for the fries, all they had was HP. HP is fantastic on fries. I don't think the HP we get here is quite as good though.

I cut the tops off and freeze them on cookie sheets and put them in a zip lock. Oh what a great Smoothie addition!!

Use frozen strawberries in hot cereal..helps cool it off and goes nicely with a touch of cream or milk.
