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.

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.
Favorite Brand and Flavor of Potato Chips?

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.
Where can I find Mex-Mex in Dallas, Texas?
Look for taquerias. They are kind of like Mexican diners.
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.
What is your biggest food difference with your sweetheart?
She will not eat nuts. I love them. We can't make or buy any baked goods like brownies and cookies with nuts. Everything baked is better with nuts. She says it ruins it. She'll eat peanut butter but only creamy. I prefer crunchy. I add bacon bits or crumbled potato chips to make creamy crunchy.
I love jalapenos. She won't touch them. I love spicy stuff and lots of onions I really have to tone it down if she is going to be eating it.
I do get extra guacamole she takes off mexican food plates and I get extra pickles that they forget to leave off hamburgers.
Häagen-Dazs vs. Ben & Jerry's: Which Are You Down With?
Ben and Jerry's New York Super Fudge Crunch is my all-time favorite ice cream flavor. I buy it as a special treat. But, I live in Houston, Texas and the best ice cream in the world is BLUE BELL. (the little creamery in Brenham)
Which Plain Potato Chip Rules? What's Your Favorite?
Zapp's Crawtaters are fantastic. They are kettle cooked with cajun seasoning. Made in Gramercy, Louisiana. Emeril loves Zapp's potato chips.
What's Your Favorite Local Ice Cream?
Blue Bell Ice Cream is the best at any price. The Homemade Vanila cannot be touched. The local creamery in Brenham, Texas moved into the Houston market in the early 1970's and completely took it over. It has gradually inched out of Texas.

WHATABURGER- is my favorite hamburger at any price.
FAJITA WILLIE'S in Houston, TX makes a mesquite grilled burger that is terrific.
I love DAN's in Austin.
FIVE GUYS HAMBURGERS in Virginia.

Martin's Kettle cook potato chips are thick and good.

Downeys Potato Chips are "The Best You Never Had".
When I start eating them, I can't put the bag down. They have a taste like no other potato chips.
Häagen-Dazs vs. Ben & Jerry's: Which Are You Down With?
Well, since I can't eat sugar ice creams any more, it's all about the politics for me. I still haven't forgiven Pillsbury/Haagen Dazs for declaring war on little ol' Ben & Jerrys. I also like weird ice cream, so flavors like Phish Food and Chunky Monkey charmed me.
Hmm, I'll have to experiment with my Bamix, some cream, and some xylitol. Mango Chutney/Pecan, anybody? Avocado?

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.

You must try the burgers at Nifty Fifty's in Philadelphia. Old fashioned had pattied and greasy goodness with wonderful fries.

I don't need a chip with a college education.
Utz Regular. Perfect.

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!

Healthy Deep-Fried Oreos: Could It Be?
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

oh god...deep-fried Diet Pepsi...i just died a little inside.

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.
Healthy Deep-Fried Oreos: Could It Be?
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.
Healthy Deep-Fried Oreos: Could It Be?
I honestly don't think that people really think they are "healthier" per se, but just you know, an eensy bit less likely TO KILL YOOOOOOOOOU. Or something. I don't know, it will probably taste the same either way, so it can't hurt to change the cooking oil, right?
Favorite Brand and Flavor of Potato Chips?
Used to be Clover Club potato chips -- does anyone else remember the commercial where the Clover Club Lady talks about hand-filling the chip bags? Actually, I hated that commercial, but loved the chips!
Häagen-Dazs vs. Ben & Jerry's: Which Are You Down With?
I love Haagen-Dazs's Caramel Cone ice cream! It's like tasting a sundae cone in an ice cream!
Häagen-Dazs vs. Ben & Jerry's: Which Are You Down With?
I'm all about Haagen-Dazs myself! They have more interesting flavors. Truthfully, I've never had anything of Ben & Jerry's before.
Favorite Brand and Flavor of Potato Chips?
Generally available: Utz wins. Plain is good but I also like their honey barbecue.
When I travel to central PA I usually load up the car. There are tons of, um, "microchipperies" (is that a word?) there. Many are cooked in lard which gives a unique texture and flavor. Gibbles, Goods, Kay and Ray's, someone already mentioned dieffenbach's.
Kay and Ray's has a Dark chips. Not burnt. Really tasty.

The Salt Lick, in Austin, although they don't make anything you can eat in the car.

Since you wrote about hamburgers, I will mention White Manna in Hackensack N.J. My friend was in the hospital nearby for over a year and the best thing I did was bring her double cheeseburgers from White Manna. Ultimate joy. It's those little things that mean a lot. When people are in a hurry and there is a long line, they are told to go to McDonalds across the street. If they go, they don't know what they are missing.

Back when I lived in New York, I used to make periodic road trips up to Boston (usually for the regional science fiction convention Boskone). Going either direction, we always made a point to stop in Vernon, Conn for Rein's New York Deli. You'd think that living in Manhattan in those days that I would have had enough of the classic Jewish delicatessen. Nope, Rein's was always the additional lagniappe to any trip. Ah, that pastrami and corned beef, knishes... slobber. Now that I live in Seattle, I really pine for that type of food.

Anywhere near Carrizozo, NM-- I like to stop in Cloudcroft for the view-- for cherry cider. It's delicious, sharp, sweet, bubbly, and tangy.

Porto's Bakery in Glendale. Their coconut macaroons, tres leches, and cheese rolls and worth every minute of the trek

David's Catfish House in Atmore, Alabama has great southern fried seafood. I loved the fried shrimp and hubby enjoyed the fried catfish. Even our picky 4 year old enjoyed the food.

The Blue Benn in Bennington, VT. Nothing beats a hot, greasy Sunday Brunch after a long night out.
