Chipotle Pinto Burgers with Queso & Crushed Fritos

September 25, 2019 No Comments

I have a confession to make. I love veggie burgers and not in an ironic way or a “close enough” kind of way. No, I really do love them. Well, I love them as long as they stay true to their veggie patty roots. Start packing soy and seitan in there and you’re going to get a hard pass from me. I know people swear by that kind of thing. But I don’t want an imposture or a stand-in for the burger of the meat variety. I want an honest to god veggie burger, beans and all. And somewhere in all this rambling is, I’m sure, a compelling lesson about being yourself. But man, I don’t want to tease that out. These Chipotle Pinto Burgers are more frivolous and fun than all that. So, deep and compelling they may not be, but proper veggie burgers? Oh, that they certainly are.

Smoked Jarlsberg Cuban Burger with Sweet Plantain

August 2, 2019 No Comments

My sincerest apologies to the vegetarians reading this. As I’m sure you can tell, this week’s Smoked Jarlsberg Cuban Burger with Sweet Plantain is not for you. Honestly, there are probably a few omnivores who are a little taken aback. But I assure you, this burger is extra for a good reason. I created this burger in the spirit of Jarlsberg’s Burger Recipe Contest. And although my interpretation of the theme features two different kinds of animal protein, that doesn’t mean yours has to. All that is required is that you create a dream burger that integrates Jarlsberg in a surprising and delicious way. Veggie burgers are more than welcome.

Fried Chicken Bao with Black Vinegar Pickled Plums

July 15, 2019 No Comments

Okay, I realize frying chicken isn’t exactly a summer-friendly activity. Come to think of it, neither is steaming a basket of buns or anything for that matter. So yeah, maybe these Fried Chicken Bao aren’t going to “summer vibes” or the break from the heat you’re looking for. But they do taste a treat when you’re sitting on the grass on a sunny summer evening. So, are they worth the sweaty sheen and the smeared mascara they impose? Of course, they are! We’re talking about fried chicken here. And what’s more, we’re talking about fried chicken tucked into pillowy bao. The dehydration is temporary, this eating memory is forever.

Larb Fresh Rolls

June 9, 2019 No Comments

Today’s Larb Fresh Rolls are brought to you by seasonal temperatures! Yes, the weather is finally on the upswing here and I once again believe in the existence of summer. This long-awaited shift has got me thinking about salads, chilled noodles, and boxes upon boxes of popsicles, the more colorful and bizarre-looking the better. Basically, all things refreshing have been strolling through my mind for the better part of a week. Gone are the baked pasta fantasies and mashed potato daydreams. Now, all I want is grilled fish, cool crisp fruit plates and all the fresh rolls I can handle. I’m starting to realize my eating habits would be much healthier if I lived in a warmer climate. Dang. Oh well!
