Thread of What You've Eaten, Cooked and/or Drunk Lately

so a Mexican Beignet?

Rolled much much thinner than a beignet, I think, although I don’t think I’ve ever actually had a beignet. After rolling the dough out into a circle, It was almost transparent. They puff up with air when frying and are basically hollow. Not doughy at all.

so i’ve never eaten at this place, but i do cook a version of their Shrimp Mosca dish.


so if ever y’all on the West bank of NOLA i’d recommend it.

and if you have an interest in history and the Mafia, this was a frequent hangout of Carlos Marcelo (NOLA mob boss thought to be heavily involved in Kennedy assassination) and his “family meetings”.

Made a smoked torpedo for Christmas (along with Prime Rib).

Torpedo is as follows- 2 pounds Italian sausage flattened out in a baking pan. Then you top the sausage with triangles of pepper Jack cheese, put kielbasa down the center and then cut up sausage links (I did turkey sausage with cheddar) on the rest of the Italian sausage. Then you roll it all up into a roll (sort of like a pin wheel)

Next you create a bacon weave the same size as the roll. Then roll the sausage roll over the bacon weave to cover the entire thing.

Finally you brush the bacon which covers the roll in maple syrup/brown sugar mix and cook in the smoker until it hits 165 (roughly 2-2.5 hours).

It was outstanding.

Whenever I see brisket I have to tell this story. Country club where I worked hired this executive chef, his resume said he'd worked at all these high end places yet no one that anyone knew who had worked at these places had ever heard of him. The first week or two he mostly just stayed in his office playing solitaire on his computer and ordering a bunch of shit we didn't need nor use. There was literally no room in the freezer we had so much shit. One day we had this luncheon for the golfers and beef brisket was on the menu. For some reason he decided to come out of his office and show us how it's done. He served them fucker at medium rare. We knew then that he was a fraud. The GM who hired him was new too and didn't want it to look as if he made a very bad hire and we kind of protected him, let him stay in his office while we did all the work but the one thing we couldn't cover up was his food cost. It was budgeted at 33% and he was delivering a 55%. Needless to say he eventually got shown the door.
