New York Cabbage Farm In Danger, Could Hurt National Kraut Industry

What would you say the best off-the-shelf kraut is?

I live down in Texas and some of the stuff is just garbage!

Breakfast tacos in Dallas?

@carolrs im sorry! you did!

I'd be homesick too, moving to St. Louis. Thank you for all the suggestions, your memory is pretty darn good! I've looked up cafe brazil before but their website stinks so I never knew what they really offered and thus haven't tried it.

I'll have to go searching for this mystery restaurant on lower-lowest greenville and see what I can find!

Breakfast tacos in Dallas?

So FWIW - apparently according to my foodie/longhorn contacts here in Dallas - Fuel City is the place for breakfast tacos, and it may be blasphemous to say otherwise!

Let me know what you guys think if you've been to this taco-mecca

HELP! I have 60lbs. of Venison...

Oh wow - we just got our deer back from the processor, I love venison! I guess I've never experienced very "gamey" venison, I always thought it was a pretty mild meat.

Two of my favorite things to do with the sausage include just splitting and grilling up on the charcoal grill or cutting it up and adding to some tomato based spaghetti sauce...delicious.

The backstrap steaks are so tender and lean already, the last time we ate them there was no marinating involved, just slapped them on the grill and took them off medium rare. Tender and delicious.

Breakfast tacos in Dallas?

no no - fast food "breakfast tacos" are not what i'm looking for. None of that crap from whataburger or something.

i want something made by real mexicans with good chorizo, eggs, potato, and the like. yesterday we found a place called Amy's or something where no one spoke a lick of english, luckily my spanish kicked in and we got a delicious breakfast with real corn tortillas and chorizo for under $5, for two people! It was crazy good.

i'm not a fan of sweets for breakfast, or a lot of "bread" for that matter so the pain au chocolat is a no go.

Getting out of blah days!

this sounds like a time when you should sit back and relax.

i don't have the experience of cooking for a family of my own fresh out of college, but i can relate to when my mom would cook us dinner every night, and some nights she was just so tired she wasn't interested. this was when she gave us the reins and helped me develop my love of food and cooking.

it was the best way to get everyone in our family, dad included, involved in the process while at the same time giving mom a much needed mental and physical break...which sounds like exactly what you need to get the creative juices flowing again!

What's with the tiny hamburgers?

@soigne i haven't eaten there in years...mob front for sure.

i had some mini burgers at a place called topgolf (google it, its fun) and they were actually pretty delicious. on a little hawaiian bun, i think, and actually juicy and tasty. they were however, not sliders.

so i would have to say i enjoy them thoroughly but they are appearing everywhere, for sure!

this looks delicious...@SayWhat - i concur, never spicy enough and tend to be on the greasy side!

its even worse when you just can't find decent Asian cuisine, at all. Yay Dallas.

With or Without Nuts? Raisins?

no nuts in my food, please! a delicious brownie cannot be interrupted by crunchy nuttiness.

raisins are okay anywhere, as long as that anywhere is near an oatmeal cookie.

Would Chipotle Ever Sell a Breakfast Burrito?

I would think it would be tasty, for sure, but I'm not sure that it would be smaller than a small child, like Pizza said.

I've always felt, in comparison with Freebirds and Qdoba here in Texas, Chipotle is really lacking diversity in their food choices, leading me to believe that their breakfast tacos would be bland and not really resemble a tasty, real, breakfast taco that I can get for $1.50 down in Austin!

From Talk

Have you calculated the costs of 'home-made'?

@dhorst, mongoose

thank you for the tips/recipes! I don't mind complexity - and I tend to fall into your category also, mongoose. I think it is a matter of time for me though, I either have a short amount of time to make something simple, or all day to do whatever I want!

dhorst, you have now made me hungry for mushrooms. mmmm.

Burger King's Fake Wallet Promotion

good marketing idea...sort of. it doesn't reach a large audience.

plus burger king is still gross and the "king" is creepy.

Nostalgia Via King Arthur Flour's Monkey Bread Mix

Hello - check this out
http://www.kingarthurflour.com/shop/items/italian-herb-and-cheese-monkey-bread-mix
Savory plus 2 sweet styles, in a bag. Less expensive than going through Williams Sonoma. Plus you can call King Arthur anytime and a professional will help you through whatever issue you are having. They are a wonderful company in Vermont, it's worth the trip for the serious baker.

We have a savory bread here called "Pork Bread" made with bacon, ham and onions from the local Polish bakery.
Bacon makes anything better...

Breakfast tacos in Dallas?

Best breakfast tacos in Dallas: The Mixing Bowl, 614 S. Hampton Rd., Dallas 75208, (214) 946-4811

They aren't open on the weekends and they may not even be open every weekday but I know they're open on Fridays because I bring them every so often for the office. I recommend the chorizo and cheese, also if you call ahead they'll have them ready when you get there.

La Michoacana has great Tacos but not sure if they have breakfast tacos? Otherwise you will have good luck going to a Fiesta or El Rancho.
