Fried Okra -- Give it some serious love!
Fried okra is my favorite. I remember as a child going to "Churches" and always having a side of okra. I can't think of any place that cooks its okra better than "Churches". Though I no longer eat their chicken on a bone. I'll order a side of okra and some chicken strips. Fried okra is a Texas favorite.

Raisin Bran has always been a favorite of mine. As a child and as an adult.
Honey combs, cinnamon toast crunch, apple jacks were always great.

You have to try "Burger Tex" (the one off of Eldridge) here in Houston. It's the city's best burgers!

I will gladly bail him out Tuesday for that hamburger today.

I can't count the amount of strange looks I get when I whip out my camera and take a picture of my meal.

Rob Walsh is one of the brighter lights in that scorching traffic jammed wasteland called Houston. SET FREE ROB!
As for that scary burger, dang....no wonder the maker was paranoid! He alone must feel responsible for H-town's top rank in obesity.

This burger goes a bit beyond "free form." It looks like it was dropped a few times before being plated.

I had a similar incident at SuperDawg in Chicago. They are very protective of their branding. Good food though.

Mayor McCheese has always helped me avoid jail-time.

Oh man... poor Rob.
But honestly, this makes me laugh, and in a strange way... it's comforting.
It confirms I'm not the only who's had an experience like that, and it's not just fast food joints that are paranoid about people taking photos.
I'm pretty sure Burger King has a 'Wanted' poster of me hanging on all their employee bulletin boards in the Dallas area.
LOL :)

Dude--check out the stash--a royal racing coach, a coloring book, and a nursery rhyme game can all be yours if you just get to the bottom of the boxes fast enough!

i highly recommend picking up a copy of Krazy Kid's Food by Dan Goodsell. it's one of those journal sized Taschen titles and filled with one fantastic image after another.

King Vitaman was great- somehow the name didn't sound like a sugar-bomb cereal so it was on the 'approved' list!

King Vitaman RULED!!! What a flashback!
Fried Okra -- Give it some serious love!
Fried okra is not slimey at all. I do mine in cornmeal and a bit of flour and salt and pepper. I have had the Cracker Barrel stuff and I will eat it, but I find it too heavily battered. I find the finer the cornmeal, the better!

YIKES! King Vitaman looks like the scary Uncle you keep your kids away from.

This story is so funny and ironic! I just bought fresh okra this week (in Northern San Diego) and introduced three people to it this weekend! Of course I made a "fried" version with cornmeal and it was gone before everything else. I must go buy more before it disappears for the year!
My sister who lives in North Carolina tends to pay me in fresh Georgia okra for watching her kids!

@Blip...........okay, somebody's gotta say it. "Slimey Chicken Stew" with slimey okra. Sorry, but that sounds more than nasty, almost fatal.
The first time I saw okra, it was a bowl of slime, I touched it and there was no way that was passing my lips. Later, I had it in a dish and was willing to give it a try, as long as there was no slime. I can take it or leave it, unless it's slimey. Then, OMG, bring me a barf bowl. I have never grown it, ordered it or purchased it and have no idea how you get rid of the slime.
Fried isn't slimey?
I don't think I've ever used that word so many times in my entire life! ;-)

I like fried okra, but don't across it that often in NorCal. I LOVE pickled okra and can eat half a jar standing in front of the fridge. Good in bloody marys.

I used to imagine that King Vitaman and Mother Nature from the Imperial Margarine commercials were involved in a passionate, tempestuous affair.

Oh sweet, sweet Quisp. How I loved thee. Several years back I'd order it online six boxes at a tiem and have it shipped...I wonder if I can still do that.
Kaboom was ALWAYS a fave, as was The King.
You can't beat breakfast with the king.

Quisp totally ruled over Quake. Although Cap'n Crunch was my first love. My brother and I sent away for these oddly-shaped Cap'n Crunch bowls. His was red, mine was blue, and nothing in the world could induce me to ever, EVER, eat from that red bowl. Cooties, you know. Li'l brother would typically eat about 4 bowls of cereal a day, without milk. He tried everything on the market, but I don't think he's eaten cereal since college. Reached his quota, I guess!

I had never tasted okra any other way than steamed until I was in my twenties, I think. Wonderful surprise when I ate the first crunchy one... In my part of Brasil they do a slimy chicken stew with okra, served with polenta (frango com quiabo e angu).

I love fried okra. I also really enjoy it when it's prepared in Indian styles.
Confession: the first time I ever tried okra was during my first visit to Nashville. My best friend brought me to a Cracker Barrel restaurant and ordered the fried okra. It wasn't bad, but it made me want the better, homemade stuff. Glad I tried something different.

I do remember the rivalry between Quisp and Quake. I believe Quisp won. For a prize, Quisp got his own pet, a space kangaroo, which came with its own cereal, Quangeroo. It didn't last long.

Love okra, in just about any form! And I come from a long line of Yankees. I did spend a year in NC, years back - but even before that, I was a confirmed okra lover.
