Healthy Deep-Fried Oreos: Could It Be?

You deep fry Pepsi by adding it to the dough.

Make it even healthier by using Diet Pepsi.

What do you do with your ground meat?

I found the secret to making White Castle or Krystal like sliders is to chop up and make a bed of onions then you put the hamburger pattie on the bed of onions and let it cook and steam. . White Castle doesn't turn the burgers.

I saw on Food Channel Easy Entertaining what I think makes the best meatballs I ever ate. You bake the meatballs in the oven in a pan with enough water that just the bottom of the meatball is covered in water. Cover the pan with foil. Bake for about 30 - 35 minutes at 375 degrees.

I make my meatballs with onions, breadcrumbs, egg, parsley, garlic powder,, parmesan cheese, salt, pepper and hint of fennel. I roll the meatballs in olive oil and breadcrumbs before sticking them in the pan.

I make Runza sometimes. Beef, onions, cabbage, salt and pepper all cooked in a pan.. You can wrap it in dough and bake or just put it on a bun. Adding cheese is good.

Cook the Book: 'Eat This!'

Luling City Market in Luling,Tx. on I-10 60 miles west of San Antonio. You buy brisket, sausage or ribs from smoke room in back on butcher paper with crackers, bread, peppers and onions.

You buy cheese, beans and drinks at the front.

I've never had barbecue sauce like it. I think it is mustard based.

What toppings would make your ultimate pizza?

I like pepperoni, italian sausage, and/or meatball, onions, green pepper and sometimes jalapenos, ham or bacon.

I like Barbecue Chicken (with or without onions and jalapenos)

The worst pizza I ever tasted was cold leftover shrimp and black olives. I didn't order it.

Houston, TX - Restaurant Suggestions, Anyone?

For real Mexican tacos served with a tray of 5 hot sauces (one was so hot I thought I was going to have to go the hospital and I thought I was tough) try Jarro Cafe on Gessner at I-10.

Champburger on Sampson east of Downtown in an industrial district makes great hamburgers and chicken fried steak sandwiches.

I like Pappas Bar-B-Q or Beef and Bun on Long Point (cheap sandwiches stuffed with meat and piles of my favorite french fries the owner hand cuts)

Try James Coney Island Hot dogs. Prince's Hamburgers are good. Both Houston favorites from 1920's and 30's.

Fajita Willies on Hwy 290 makes great burgers and fajitas.

You can't beat a What-A-Burger at any price.

Milkshake: make mine______

Chocolate with cinnamon. The specialty at Goode Co. Hamburgers in Houston, TX,

Is Bahn Mi sandwich heaven? If not...what is sandwich heaven?

bahn mi is always delicious and usually extremely cheap. I never thought of eating carrots on a sandwich before. The Cilantro is so much tastier than lettuce.

Tortas are also heaven. A mexican sandwich on a big football shaped bun with refried beans, meat (i prefer the fajitas), guacamole, sour cream or crema, lettuce and tomatoes.

From Talk

Where can I find Mex-Mex in Dallas, Texas?

Look for taquerias. They are kind of like Mexican diners.

From Talk

I wish there was a ______ in my neighborhood....

Varsity Drive-In. I have to go there everytime I drive through Atlanta. Hot Dogs with pimento cheese and a chocolate shake.

Readers' Favorite Burgers

SCHOOP'S HAMBURGERS
If ever in Chicago head over to Northwest Indiana (15 min drive) or the south suburbs and try Schoop's Hamburgers. The burgers are 1/2 lb and are thin, crispy and hang over the bun. A very different burger really unique and delicious. My favorite is the Mickey and I wash it down with Green River soda. They are celebrating their 60th anniversary so they must me doing something right.

Which Plain Potato Chip Rules? What's Your Favorite?

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Downey's myself, but as I live in Canada, I have a hard time finding them whenever I am in Michigan, in fact, my friend and I drove around the other day in Pontiac looking for some. When I can't find Downey's, I love Shearer's kettle chips, they're not as tasty as Downey's, but they'll have to do!

If anyone knows where I can find Downey's, please let me know, I am going thru cravings, lol!

Haha, AuntJone, I'm an original Hoosier too. You can find good food in Indy, but they certainly do hide it.

I've actually tried a deep-fried oreo and I was not impressed. Other than the novelty, what's the big deal, deliciousness-wise?

I love the "Dirty Chips" brand but they are hard to find and very expensive. They are the best that I've had

The Buckhorn in San Antonio, New Mexico for its fantabulous green chile cheeseburger served with homemade French fries. (hey, if Texas can have a Paris, New Mexico can have its own San Antonio). Try the homemade salsa and homemade corn tortilla chips as a starter; and add a side of pinto beans and chile to round out your meal of the day. Watch out for lifelong cravings.

Healthier as in fewer carcinogens (free radicals and all that good stuff) not healther as in fewer calories. I don't think anyone is silly enough to think that changing the oil will make fried oreo's healthy. Also, unless "anal leakage" sounds fun to you I would steer clear of Alli. That stuff is horrible.
