thanks for the mention, robyn! the event really was a blast. I'm glad they're rolling it out to more cities :)

@GretchinF: ewww...that's it, you've just ruined it for me. I'll never be able to look at a honeypot the same way again. :( haha

Have You Eaten Burgers Made With Fruit?

Usually when someone thinks a burger made with fruit, all one can find is a Hawaiian burger simply with a round slice of pineapple.

I reviewed a San Francisco burger joint called Bill's Place where they have a "Chantastic" burger on their restaurant menu. This cheeseburger is topped with two heavenly onion rings, grilled beets and pineapple, and coleslaw on the side. It was a delicious and interesting twist on the typical pineapple burger.

Thanks for the great post. It's nice to find other ways of including fruit to spice up your everyday dish! :-)

I regularly make a potato dish that treads the line between 'traditional' and 'different': Cider Scalloped Potatoes. Instead of broth, use good, fresh cider so you get a good tang & some sweetness, and then smoked gouda to add another element to the taste. I've done it with regular potatoes, with turnips, with celeriac and even with sweet potatoes. It's amazing and people ask about it years after...
It's a riff off an old Cooking Light recipe: http://find.myrecipes.com/recipes/recipefinder.dyn?action=displayRecipe&recipe_id=222496

There seems to be a dearth of dessert ideas....a favorite that is also a family 'must' is Cranberry/Apple/Walnut pie. It is incredibly delicious and, moreover, easy to make. And don't forget German Noodles! Thick, homemade noodles boiled in a rich beef/onion stock and thickened with flour. Every invitation for Thanksgiving always includes the comment..."yes, I'm making the noodles" and that saves a lot of phone calls from guests. It's that good!

oh! and my mom and sister threw a fit when i sent them my menu and there was no pumpkin pie on it. i don't even think they like pumpkin pie, but i know people get funny about traditions... so i am making ina garten's pumpkin banana mousse tart to appease the fam. that's a nice little variation on the classic.

Look, all of us want more blog traffic, and there is no way we can read all of our collective blogs, but we should really make an effort to check out at least other 5 SE's blogs if we post our own in this thread --after all, not fair to 'shill' if you don't help others out!

So wonderful to have so many fellow writers! I actually have two blogs to share. One is my personal blog: www.thedilettantista.wordpress.com which covers, well, EVERYTHING, cooking, restaurants, movies, etc. I started it this summer when I was living in New York City for an internship, so it is especially heavy on NYC eating.

I am also a contributing writer to Carpe Durham, a food blog that focuses on eating in Durham, North Carolina. The blog was started a few years ago by Duke law students, and I am a newer writer. The blog is a great source if you live in the Triangle area!

@Madelyn -- KarmaFreeCooking is one of my favorite blogs! I love it. Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into it.

While I'm at it, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you food bloggers. The time, effort, and enthusiasm you all put into your blogs delights, entertains, and educates the rest of us.

Thank you all!
