I never expected to be disappointed with this meal but I tried to manage my expectations. With that said, I was totally blown away with this burger. Most likely the best burger I have ever eaten. If interested, I made a meatless version of this same burger. A Meatless Version of the Famous Husk Burger…

Cuban Chicken Chop, Yellow Rice, Black Beans with Mustard Curry and Cilantro / Jalapeno Sauces
I original posted this recipe back in 2015, Cuban Chicken Chop, Yellow Rice, Black Beans with Chimichurri. I made this with the Chimichurri because I didn’t know how to make any of the other amazing sauces at Tropical Grill, which is the inspiration for this meal. I describe the Cuban Chicken Chop Bowl in the…
Baked Fried Chicken with Mashed Potatoes and Gravy (KFC copycat)
I cut out all fast food about 15 years ago. Not because it didn’t taste good but because my metabolism decided to slow down on me. What that means is I haven’t had good old Kentucky Fried Chicken in a long time. I suppose that was okay but what I really missed was the mashed…
Turkey Pasta e Fagioli
I recently posted a review of a local restaurant that features Northern Italian cuisine called L’Incanto. That post got me thinking about the food I enjoyed while we lived there and how it was probably my first “food awakening”. By that I mean, the first time I though about food as something to enjoy. One…
Shrimp, Greens & Grits (copy cat recipe from Belford’s in Savannah, GA)
Ten years ago, my wife and I took a trip to Savannah, GA. I researched local foodie friendly restaurants and found Belford’s. I ordered and also reviewed Shrimp, Greens and Grits (jump to the review). Needless to say, I liked my food. Also, needless to say, I’ve become a better photographer and I have a…
Seafood a la Wando (Reboot)
Way back in 2012 I posted about one of my favorite dishes in Charleston, SC, Seafood a la Wando at Hank’s Seafood. It is indeed still one of my favorites. The crispy grit cakes, the fresh seafood, the rich buttery cream sauce. Oh and mushroom, bell pepper and green onion add earthiness, color and crunch….
Copy Cat Mexican Pizza like from “the bell”
As a kid one of my favorite things to eat was the Mexican Pizza from that fast food restaurant with “the bell”. Crispy, savory, gooey, yummy all in a little box for ease of consumption. Having lived in Europe through high school, when we got back to the states I wan’t a Chick-fil-a sandwich and…
Healthy Mac’n Cheese – Vegetables, Tofu, Potato, Pasta and Cheese (REBOOT)
I made this before, several times in fact. Each time I’ve made it I’ve tweaked to make it better. I thought it would be good to repost/reboot it with the changes I’ve been making to make this dish even better.
Thick Cut Pork Chops, Pinto Beans, Wilted Spinach, Apple Butter, Spiced Pepitas and Cornbread
I totally stole this recipe from Rocket Surgery in Travelers Rest, SC. It was so good I made it at home.
Panera’s Thai Chopped Chicken Salad Recipe
Originally posted on one foodie:
The Thai Chicken Salad from Panera Bread Company is one of my favorite salads. It is fantastic. It has everything I look for in a great meal. Crunchy, a little heat, a little sweet, sour, tangy and lots of savory. The dressing, the peanut drizzle… nom, nom. I would say,…
