Serious Eats: reger60's Profile

Needed: a meal that would win a man's heart!

My wife won me over with meat loaf, twice baked potatoes and green beens. She's continued to win me over with that meal again and again for the last 15 years.

May is National BBQ Month: Who serves it up best?

My wife and I couldn't agree more with your husband arm1970. Roll Tide!

P.S. I'm smoking ribs tomorrow for Mother's Day because my 'Bama girl chose barbeque for Mother's Day dinner. I am so proud of that girl!

May is National BBQ Month: Who serves it up best?

krr07A,

It was a little hole-in-the-wall off of I-35 named Lewis's Bar-BQ. (1814 Harvey St, Austin, TX) It's a tiny little joint that's mostly take out, but they have a few tables. Everything is fantastic here. The owner is originally from Louisianna and If you've never tried Boudin sausage, he makes some of the best I've ever tasted. If you plan on going there, try and go for lunch or an early dinner as the neighborhood is little suspect. Hope you get there. Enjoy!

May is National BBQ Month: Who serves it up best?

The best pork ribs I ever had were in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. The best beef brisket I ever had was in Austin, Texas. The best pork shoulder I ever had was in Memphis and the best babybacks I ever had was in St. Louis. Personally, I think I barbeque the world's best country back bone.

Grocery Ninja: What to Do With Condensed Milk

The next time you are making mashed potatoes, substitute your milk with unsweetened condensed milk. It makes marvelous, rich mashed potatoes!

What Is the Best Food Produced En Masse?

Easy answer. Italian. Make a gigantic pot of marinara and then create three or four meals with it, then put the rest in the freezer for later. We make four or five big pots of sauce every winter and enjoy dozens of Italian dishes with it.

What's So Weird About That?

As a treat when we were kids, our grandmother used to put peanut butter on white bread and cover it with maple syrup. I would never dream of eating it now, but as kids, we couldn't eat enough of it. It probably had something to do with the fact that Grandma was making it.

Bacon grease

My wife always puts a few bacon slices in her homemade vegetable soup to season it.

Hand-held foods?

Ribs with a knife and fork? LOL!

'Top Chef' Season 5, Episode 12: 'Top Chef,' Not 'Top Pussy'

As a chef, I think Stefan's arrogance will probably serve him well. (He wont have many friends, but people will stand in line to eat his food.) Personalities not withstanding, I think Stephan and Fabio are by far the most talented contestants on the show. I'm glad Leah is gone. She was a poser.

What's on Your Lunch Box?

It was the mid-60s. My parents waited till the last minute to buy me a lunchbox, so by the time we bought one, they were pretty picked-over. What did I end up with? Wagon Train.

It was safe to say that no one else had the same lunchbox as me.
