I'm headed to Fargo next week. I'll be shooting a wedding, but I'm hoping to find the time to sample some of the local eateries. Can anyone point me towards a non-chain place to eat in Fargo? Thanks!
If you use an upright water smoker (Brinkmann, Char-Broil, etc.), you can use chopsticks to hold a rack of ribs in a coil to fit the round cross-section of the pit. It allows you to cook and entire rack of ribs on each grate.
You must go to SuperDawg. Great dogs, old-fashioned diner atmosphere.
The burger at Christian's Tailgate is a wonderful burger. Good size, not too greasy, great atmosphere. The fries are fantastic as well.
Fresh salsa is my favorite thing to make in my food processor.
Take 2 pounds of tomatoes, 1 half-dozen jalapenos, 1 white onion and 1 green bell pepper, slice them in half and put them in the smoker for about an hour.
Put all of the veggies from the smoker in the food processor with cilantro, a couple tablespoons of minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Blend until you have the desired consistency and serve.
I love Paula Deen. She cooks the way I do, and she has fun doing it.
There seems to be a lot of food-snobbery backlash against most of the Food Network hosts and it's just Paula turn as a target.
I was skeptical the first time my wife suggested it, but I have to admit that I had a great experience at the Melting Pot. We've been back several times. If you want to reduce the sting of the price, you can use AmEx points to get Melting Pot gift cards.
Kimbo - The Luther Burger existed long before the Boondocks TV show. You should do a little homework before you start throwing around accusations.
The Luling City market in Houston shares a name and not much else with the original Luling City Market. Don't bother with the Houston location, it's not worth the trip.
If you only have time for one BBQ stop in Lockhart, go to Smitty's. Better food, better atmosphere, great people. Try the clod (shoulder) and the prime rib.
A perfect meal at Smitty's is prime rib, a block of pepper jack cheese, and a cold Shiner Bock beer.
They don't take debit/credit cards, so bring cash.
I love Paula Deen. She and I could form an unbeatable team, solving crimes and deep-frying otherwise healthy meals.
OMG - I'm so there. The lower sodium idea sounds like a good one tho. I love salt as much as any 3 men, but that might be a lil crazy.
Ellios: It's Ramsay, not Ramsey.
P.S. Paula Deen stinks, the best chef in the world is Gordon Ramsey.
I have to say I LOVE burgers, all kinds of burgers. Cheese, chicken, turkey, pizza, anything! Burgers with onion rings, burgers with bacon, even burgers with mash potatoes like the new one at BK! But this is not a burger. A DONUT? A FRIED EGG? That is disgusting, especially the donut part. Theres some foods you dont mix and this is the best example of that.
Did you see the chopstick canoe? I think I'll aim smaller and try to make a chopstick kayak. Might have to wait though, because I've been saving mine for kabobs. I like to use two for easier turning.
I like the cheesecloth idea - hadn't thought of that.
I can testify that the foil/salt silver cleaner really works.
Do a search on Serious Eats for the recent post on Hot Dougs - sounds amazing, wish I could go! I've never been there myself.
Okay I found the link:

Definitely go to Hot Doug's on Friday for their french fries - fried in duck fat on Fridays!
Blackbird for a dinner.
Alinea for a 24 course one of a kind meal.
Best Deli: Manny's Coffee Shop on South Jefferson St. near Roosevelt Rd. Pastrami and corned beef sandwiches a foot high and great homemade brisket, short ribs, chopped liver, potato pancakes, etc. Lots of "movers and shakers" chowing down in this throwback to the 50's.
coolname, do you mean the Maxwell St. stand on the corner of Damen and Elston? That's been very recently taken down.
For Lula, you can go to Farm Dinner on Mondays and get an entirely local menu.
I also recommend Terragusto. They make their pasta daily and their menu features Northern Italian dishes with local market ingredients. Despite being a pretty nice restaurant, it's BYOB only, so don't forget to bring some wine.
