Serious Eats: bongeezer's Profile

The taco I remember most was actually the worst taco I ever had. While traveling in Australia I stopped in a "Mexican Cafe" where I'm pretty sure that no one who worked there had ever been to Mexico or had even met a person of Mexican heritage. The taco's they served to me and my traveling companion had some sort of melted cheese and what appeared to be spam in a stale taco shell with french fries on the side. I remember thinking I could open aTaco Bell franchise here and make a killing.

Cook the Book: 'The Asian Grill'

Super Bowl Sunday my crazy SIL brought over her untrained dogs they knocked over the grill sending meat and hot coals every where. The dogs got the meat, And we ordered pizza which took over an hour to arrive. New rule at our house leave your pets home.

Cook the Book: 'Urban Italian'

We call it Italian in a square pan, It's never the same except the sauce is usually red, The filling is usually whatever is pasta is available and whatever meat, vegatables and cheese we have handy. Sometimes it's fantastic and sometimes not. (Tip: never use saurkraut for a vegetable in your italian dish.)

Cook the Book: 'Ten'

I spent a couple of years in Alice Springs Australia in the 80's and found that there was no Mexican food to be had, I would go to this little specialty store to buy the corn tortilla shells (That were usually stale) and make my own tacos, But near the end of my stay a fellow american who happened to be of Mexican heritage showed up and he knew how to make flour tortillias. He also would get care packages from home containing dried beans and seasonings and would throw great partys with great food, He became my new best friend.
