Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Bacon of the Month Club

Crispy, but cooked in the oven. I have discovered this method, and will never cook bacon any other way! Maybe with a little brown sugar on it too!!

The Porterhouse at Vic & Anthony's in Houston. And like my grandpappy used to say," just knock the horns off, wipe his ass, and drag it across the fire".
I guess that'd be rare!

Check out this video The Telegraph did on the burger.

At many points, people didn't even want to taste it. And the best that the people who they did get to try it said was things like "it's not terrible" or "thanks for the chance". And the chef sounds horribly pretentious about it. Perhaps it is the accent, but he's talking about a burger in such a highfaluting manner. It just seems wrong.

Cook the Book: Frito Pie

On a layover in Dallas I saw my pilot-to-be eating a Frito Pie in the airport lounge at 8 in the morning!!! OMG I said, are you going to fly the plane after eating that for breakfast??? He just smiled, and with his best Texas drawl, said "Definitely, Ma'am".

Word of warning, y'all - the Fritos bags nowadays are not as substantial as they used to be. Having something more substantial in between the Frito Pie and your lap (or hands) is recommended, especially for younger diners.

Otherwise, as we all know in Texas already, Frito Pie is just one more proof God loves us.

Cook the Book: Frito Pie

When I was at Ohio State (late 1980's), one of everyone's favorite dining hall suppers was Texas Straw Hat: a handful of Fritos, a scoop of taco meat and a trip to the topping bar: cheese, sour cream, onions, salsa, taco sauce, etc.

For vegetarians, this works with TVP crumbles seasoned with taco seasoning, though RDH never offered a vegetarian option for Straw Hat when I was there.
