I find it's taking way longer to cook than expected. It's OK though b/c as recommended the plan is to put it in the fridge when done and reheat tomorrow. My wife makes a beef bourguignon pot pie that gives you a heart attack just looking at it. It's delicious but it takes her a good part of the day to make it. It's amazing how slow cooking can make a crappy piece of meat so tasty and tender. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustinBike Posted August 18, 2021 Author Share Posted August 18, 2021 Did not cook this at home but today is our last day in Santa Fe. We went to the Brakeroom, which is a taproom for Santa Fe Brewing, right down the street from us. Had several of the 7K IPAs and then went all in on the food truck. This is the Bite Burger and the Green Chile Cheese fries with Bacon. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are those the ones with the very shallow pockets like for Stroopwafels? I have one that's round with the big pockets. Nothing like the old square traditional one. My favorite batter is simple in ingredients but I beat the egg whites separately, mix the dry stuff, the wet stuff (other than the whites), then fold in the whites very carefully. I've tried the chicken and waffles. It's not my thing. But I have made a ham and cheese sandwich out of waffles. One thing I've always wanted to try to make is crepes. I have a non stick crepe wand that you dip in a batter pan and it is super easy to make perfect crepes. When I make a faster waffle I make it just like you do, lightening the batter with egg whites. The overnight waffles that @Barryis referring to is yeast batter risen over night. They are malty, light and crisp. The waffle maker is a dual sided monster with deep pockets that a family of 4 needed to have a reasonable amount of waffles in short order. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcarneytx Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Made gumbo, for the first time ever, a few weeks back. Didn't even know what "roux" was. Came out really nice. Definitely will be making it again soon, along with chili. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chongo Loco Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Go over to Stuffed on 620 and get some of their andouille. Whole pork smoked sausage vs the ground stuff at H-E-B makes a world of difference. You can also smoke the chicken, duck, whatever a bit before boiling. My fav is with a couple of swamp rabbits or wild duck 🐰🦆 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustinBike Posted October 20, 2021 Author Share Posted October 20, 2021 Worked with a guy at Dell that showed up one day with squirrel gumbo for lunch. Yup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chongo Loco Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 They made squirrel gumbo or stew opening day of the hunting season at our hunting camp every year. They taste ok, just a PITA to clean and a lot of bone for the amount of meat you get from one. One of my dad's favorite things was squirrel brains. 🤢 Good to freak out the city relatives when they open the lid and see something staring back at them. 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My fav is with a couple of swamp rabbits or wild duck 🐰🦆 I did it the easy way: packaged andouille sausage, a rotisserie chicken from the hot rack, and frozen, peeled shrimp. Fresh veggies, though, and handmade roux. Used canola oil for the roux, but now want to try with butter and then again with bacon fat. Smoked chicken sounds good, though I'd have to find it somewhere cooked, as I have neither tools nor skills to do it myself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntonioGG Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Anyone watch Kitchen Queens New Orleans? I just watched them make Creole gumbo and they added something I’d never heard of before: filé. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filé_powder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustinBike Posted November 6, 2021 Author Share Posted November 6, 2021 Well, filé gumbo is as old as the hills. Or me. If you want real New Orleans food, find a recipe for barbecue shrimp. It is not what you think. And it is incredible. Deanie's typically has it if you are in New Orleans but there are probably 20-30 places that are better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s more Cajun than Creole. Creoles (usually kitchen help in urban areas) use okra vs file’ as the thickening agent. The Cajuns learned about it from the Choctaw I think. It’s just dried and pulverized sassafras leaves. In my family it’s added to your bowl as you serve so the flavor is stronger. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntonioGG Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 I read that it is commonly used during okra off-season. I need to try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost none of that wiki is correct. Roux is the base for ALL gumbo. Both okra and file’ are available year round since refrigeration so now it’s just a preference. My dad used both in his gumbo but I hate the slimy consistency of okra. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AustinBike Posted February 14, 2022 Author Share Posted February 14, 2022 Last night, for the Super Bowl, we went all in for Chicago Italian beef sandwiches. Unfortunately you can't get the right bread here, but the beef was smuggled down here from our last road trip. <chef's kiss> 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, not true Chicago pizza but ~95% of the way there: Now that Mangia is totally out of business, I need your opinion on Love 312.
