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)...

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!

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...

Hello, I'm going to be baking up some parmesan-encrusted tilapia and am looking for a side or two to serve with it. Preferably something pretty healthy. I'm just not too certain what would go with this dish. Any recommendations? Thanks!

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...

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...

There is a mighty fine mild wing sauce that is sold by the gallon, $20 per. I have the list of ingredients, first and foremost among them tomato concentrate from red vine-ripened tomatoes. Other ingredients include brown sugar, water, corn syrup, onion powder, turmeric, and some other spices...

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...

Hello, We have some frozen breaded tilapia that is quite good that we are looking to make into fish tacos for tomorrow. Does anybody have any recipes/suggestions on what exactly would go good on breaded tilapia tacos? Tartar sauce? Is there a nifty sauce that I can make on my own? Thanks!

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...

Hello, I have to cook a special for our bar and grille on Saturday (St. Patty's Day). I'm to do corned beef, carrots, cabbage, and red potatoes. I was wondering if anybody had any ideas for how exactly I should do the cabbage. Or, really, any recommendations on how to do it all :angel...

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...

You guys did such a good job last time...so here goes: For work I am making a prime rib dinner with au jus. What goes with this dinner? Thanks in advance! :)

I was thinking of doing an apple-glazed pork tenderloin. I've never done one before, but I do remember cooking a tenderloin in some apple cider. Anyhoo, I did a bit of research and found someone did one using some apple jelly as a glaze. I thought the cider-jelly might be a good combo. Any...

At the bar/restaurant I work at, we have tried to serve sweet potato fries. For reasons pertaining to cost, we bought our own sweet potatoes are tried to make them from scratch. But the store-bought frozen variety is muuuuuch better. With our homemade fries, they were made the only way we...

Hello all, I'm trying to plan a special for our bar/restaurant later this month. With fall approaching, I wanted to try to do a chicken pot pie special. I've never made one, and I'm thinking doing mini pies (individualized) might be too hard (or too costly?). Anybody know where I can get...

Hello, I am trying to make sugar beer bottles for an upcoming cake I am planning on making (it's going to be difficult!). I hope to add labels to the sugar bottles, so they will resemble the real deal. But I know NOTHING about edible paper, and nothing about edible printing. As a...

Hello all, I work for my dad at our neighborhood bar. We like to come up with some cool specials and one of our upcoming specials will be an 'all-day breakfast.' Now I'm no great chef, so I'm looking for ideas for simple things I can do for this special. Eggs seem pretty easy, as does bacon...

So far this month, I've made three specials at the family bar (Italian Burgers cooked on the outdoor grille with steak fries; Pork Chops with Scalloped Potatoes & Green Beans; and Salisbury Steak with Broccoli and Mashed Potatoes & Gravy). They've all sold out :) Question is, what should I...

Hello, I'll admit I'm not much of a cook, but for a special for the family bar I'm thinking of making individual chicken pot pies. The pie crust, as I'm thinking, will probably be the hardest part to make. Do they sell pre-made pot pie crusts? I'm hoping they aren't too expensive?

Hello all, This is my second post...be gentle! My dad owns a bar and we have quite a bit of food on our everyday menu. In addition to that, however, we like to prepare a special each day. Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday it is open; Tuesdays are tacos (very easy special), Fridays are Lake...

Hello all, I'm new here and admittedly a terrible cook. I work for my dad at his bar and have to cook specials, which is extremely difficult for me. Anyhoo, I've decided to make pork chops for Monday's special with sweet mashed potatoes. I have a recipe for the latter (which uses sweet...
