This is a recipe for a Basque Burnt Cheesecake with a Salted Bourbon Caramel drizzle. It might be the best cheesecake I’ve ever had.

Kimchi Air Fried Tater Tots with Spicy Aioli
My wife loves Molly Yeh, the food tv show host. She is so cute, who wouldn’t. One of Molly’s shows featured these Kimchi Tater Tots. I didn’t watch the show but I found the recipe online and we tried it. My sauce is a little different and we air fried the tater tots but dang…
Sous Vide Duck Breast, Roasted Asparagus, Potato Dauphinoise with Red Wine Reduction
When the wife is away I tend to make things she won’t eat, like duck. I found a photo on Goolge Images that just looked great so I tried to duplicate it. The sous vide duck was fantastic. The process allows for a medium rare but still a crispy crust. Asparagus is a go to…
Healthy-ish Broccoli Cheddar Soup
There are blogs talking about broccoli Cheddar soup and how their’s is better than Panera. I don’t know how Panera make their broccoli Cheddar Soup, and I don’t know if this one is better but I can say I like mine better. It has a little bit of heat from the smoked and hot paprika…
French Onion Soup Burger with Caramelized Onions, Fontina Mornay Sauce and Provolone on an English Muffin
I first saw this recipe on an Episode of Beat Bobby Flay on the Food Network called Beauty and the Feast. The biggest difference I made was adding the Lipton onion soup mix to season the beef burgers. One suggestion, go easy on the seasoning with the mornay sauce as well as the caramelized onions…

Their Burrito California has steak, chicken, shrimp, vegetables, beans, rice and an amazing white cheese sauce. The restaurant uses really fresh ingredients. It’s just a little strip mall Mexican restaurant but…
Southern Comfort (Beyond ) Burger with Fried Green Tomato, Jalapeno Bacon and Lactose-free Vegan Jalapeno Pimento Cheese
One of my all-time favorite burgers from anywhere is the Southern Comfort burger from The Strip Club 104 Steakhouse (Strip as in steak) in Greer, SC. They used to do lunch on Fridays and pretty much the whole menu was burgers. They might have had a salad but I never got it. The Southern Comfort…
Seared Salmon, Succotash, Creamy Corn Sauce and Lemon Confit
This one was inspired by an episode of TasteMade‘s Make This Tonight, TV show. Years ago I made a Sweet Corn Soup and the creamy corn sauce recipe reminded me very much of that meal. It really honors the fresh seasonal corn we have right now. Seared Salmon with a Corn and Asparagus Succotash, Creamy…
Local Peach, Blueberry, Feta and Bacon Salad with Basil Balsamic Vinaigrette
Our favorite local café and grocery posted a delicious looking salad and I decided to make it at home. I added blueberries because they are also in season here. This was so good. The fresh sweet peaches and blueberries, the acid punch from the fresh tomatoes, the crunchy salty bacon, the tart creaminess from the…
