    Anyone ever try an apple-stuffed porkchop?

    I'm looking into doing an apple-stuffed porkchop...maybe cut a pocket into a 1" thick chop and stuff away. I was considering grilling it outdoors and maybe topping with a cider reduction. But I was curious what you have all tried...what exactly you stuffed it with, topped it with (if anything)...

    Need a sauce for this chicken sandwich

    That garlic mayo/ roasted garlic mayo sounds pretty good! I think I might try that! All the suggestions were excellent, however! While I'm at it, what might be a good side? Steak fries? Macaroni salad? Other? You guys and gals rock!

    Need a sauce for this chicken sandwich

    I am making a chicken sandwich with roasted red peppers, pepperjack, and avocado slices. What would make a good dressing for it? Some type of mayonnaise? Creamy pesto? Other? Not sure what type of bread I'm putting it on...perhaps ciabatta. Thanks!

    Burger toppings: fried onions and pickles?

    Hello all, We have been doing a few specialty burgers as of late at the family bar, and they have been met with some success. I was googling for more ideas when I came across this nifty-looking burger, apparently called the SMASH burger: smashburger on Tumblr Looks interesting, might make a...

    Your eating style - relaxed or frenzied?

    I eat like a wolf. I am the youngest of three boys, so growing up I had to eat whatever I could as quickly as possible to ensure my own survival. Often times, the youngest/weakest sibling ends up dying due to starvation. It seems cruel, but it is nature. Now that I am older and fully capable...

    Apricot pork chops?

    I was thinking of doing something different...apricot porkchops. I've seen lots of recipes whereas they chops are seared then cooked in an apricot mixture until 145-150F. I have also seen a recipe that uses multigrain breadcrumbs. I was thinking of making them by dipping the chops in flour...

    Help me with my wing sauce!

    So now that I have added the ingredient list above, I have another question: What is tomato concentrate? Was I correct to use tomato paste + water? Is there a tomato concentrate that has less of that "paste" taste to it? Or do I just add more vinegar. Does vinegar neutralize that taste? I...

    Help me with my wing sauce!

    Thanks for the replies, guys! I will add more info later--hard to type on my phone :( A problem I am having is the strongish scent/ taste of tomato paste. How do I rid of that? And yes, I did cook the mix for quite a while to thicken. I will repost later with the official sauce's ingredient...

    Help me with my wing sauce!

    I work at a restaurant/bar and we have been buying a tasty wing sauce for years. However, the price per gallon is pretty high ($20/gallon). I have therefore decided to try my hand at making some homemade sauce. The sauce, by the way, is a mild sauce that is very sweet, with the thickness of...

    Help on Clambake!

    Hello, We've done Clambakes at our bar/restaurant for quite a few years now. However, our chef who used to do the clambake preparations has since moved on and now it's up to me to figure it all out! I can handle the chicken, corn on the cob, carrots, and red potatoes, but the clams I am...

    Stuffed Pork Tenderloin

    I'm doing a stuffed pork tenderloin tomorrow for our bar/grille. I was originally going to do something super simple (use boxed stuffing) and cover with pork gravy, but although that's done well in the past I want to change things up a bit. There's many (too many!) options to choose from...

    Grilled Marinated Chicken Breasts

    I feel a bit bad asking these questions, as it appears a few of the last threads were posted by myself... At the family bar I do a few different specials weekly. Friday is always fish fries, Sat-Mondays are strip steaks, Tuesdays are tacos. For Wednesday this week I want to use some of the...

    what goes with prime rib?

    Thanks for all the suggestions, everyone :) Never tried yorkshire pudding; how long does it last until I need to whip up a new batch? I'm sort of thinking of twice-baked potato and maybe a caesar salad...with au jus and horseradish on the side. But perhaps I'll give them a choice and have...

    Apple-glazed Pork Tenderloin

    Oh boy...okay. Never even heard of braised red cabbage but found a tutorial on the dish. I shall give it a try. It calls for red cabbage, distilled white vinegar, butter, salt, sugar, granny-smith apple, and currant jelly. Sound about right?
