Last Bite?
A hot T-bone steak, slightly charred on the outside - the part that is nestled in the "T" part of the cut next to the bone, with a bit of charred fat on the edge - that is all the steak I need!!
What About Top Pastry Chef?
You should try Top Chef. I think the contestants on Hell's Kitchen are from McDonald's or they stock the salad bar at Ruby Tuesday's or something - and it seems that they don't really know how to cook in the classic sense. I don't understand that show.
Top Chef has real chefs who actually know how to cook. Some of the challenges are very interesting. Try it!
What About Top Pastry Chef?
I would love a Top Pastry Chef show as well
Hey - did anyone every wonder how the cakes from Charm City taste? I love Duff and the entire staff and all of the creative things they do, but it seems like the cakes sit around for days on end!!!

What are you known for?
1) Soup - specifically, Arroz Caldo. I get requests even when it's 95 degrees w/ insane humidity outside.
2) Salsa, asian style (I add lime juice, fish sauce and the tiniest bit of sesame oil. Don't knock it till you try it!)
3) Shrimp Salad (I cook whole shrimp in a pot chockful of garlic, green onion, celery, bits of whatever vegies are sitting in my fridge, lots of black peppercorn, and salt. After peeling, I throw the shells/head back into the broth to reduce. The dressing is nothing more than a good mayo, lime juice, sambal olek, green onions, celery and a few tsps of that concentrated shrimp broth.)
4) Anchovy pasta. Recipe courtesy of the NYTimes. I guess I'm the only one in the family willing to suffer through the smell of anchovies sauteeing.

@Brooke29: Sorry I didn't get back to you right away-actually had to do work at work-and I just started another semester. I LOVE Old Bay. It signifies seafood to me. I even put it on french fries. Mmmm. Anyway, I am stoked you said it works.
The Chilli is good, I'm not going to lie. I mix up ground sirloin (I like to get the 8% Fat variety), with some homemade sauce, a mix of spices (garlic powder, cumin, sea salt, fresh ground pepper, and cayanne pepper), sprinkle on some chilli powder, medium salsa, and some hot sauce (we prefer Franks), and add beans if you like. I can take 'em or leave 'em so it depends who I am making it for. Top with shredded Monteray Jack and Mozzarella (sour cream too if you want) and you have goodness.:)
What are you known for?
Breads and making up dessert recipes on the fly. And preparing meals for large groups, such as church socials.
What are you known for?
1. baba ghanoush (I use a lot of roasted garlic in it to make it mellow, and people seem to like that!)
2. my mom's tortellini soup recipe
3. grilling - my bf has perfected his steak-grilling method, and I like to cut up a ton of veggies, toss them in evoo+balsamic vinegar+some spices and toss those on the grill. great way to feed a bunch of people on short notice :)
I also have to get a few more of my mom's recipes (brownies, cobbler, cinnamon rolls) that will make this list as soon as I make them and feed others .....

@whoizzit: I marinate my tri tip in one package of onion soup mix (the dehydrated kind...and don't rehydrate) and a bottle of red wine, with quite a few crushed cloves of garlic thrown in...I also throw in fresh citrus juice, when I have some...lime is my fave. I leave it in the fridge for 3-4 hours and then grill it. It's scrumptious. Extra good with salsa and avocado on fresh tortillas--tri tip burritos, yum!
