bison burgers with cabernet caramelized onions

Tuesday, March 3, 2009

New blog design, new burger recipe. This one was adapted from an article in February 2009 Gourmet, featuring 100+ ways to eat green. I’ve always liked bison, not because I knew it was environmentally friendly, but because I’ve heard it has the same high-protein and low-fat nutrition stats as a boneless skinless chicken [...]

This recipe ended up only being “inspired by” the original in Food & Wine magazine. I fully intended to try it unadulterated, but ended up finding a good deal on NY strip (as opposed to skirt steak) while at the same time NOT being able to find fregola. (Side note: while I couldn’t [...]

A lot of food blogs have had posts lately about “the last cookout of the year,” but we’re fortunate in Atlanta that grilling is not limited to any season. If I’ve had a bad day and need to feel better, or if I’ve had a great day and want to celebrate it, a steak [...]

Have you ever tried this? It’s not really a recipe, but just an easy thing to put together if you’re already heating up the grill for barbeque chicken or steaks. Just slice up some vidalia onions and potatoes and layer in heavy-duty aluminum foil. Throw in a few whole garlic cloves (smash [...]

I think everyone who picked up the most recent Domino mag fell in love with this recipe. Not just the idea of fish tacos (who doesn’t love fish tacos any day?), but the beautiful outdoor table setting, all the colors, all the “I just threw this little impromptu get-together with my friends and my [...]

A and I spent his birthday last year in Buenos Aires. If you’ve never been, imagine gorgeous architecture (European though, not American in any way, and very classic, 19th century influence), cafes on every corner with young hip-looking people taking espressos with their friends, and best of all, a preference for steak and good [...]

What I’m about to tell you is a true story, and hopefully no one will get in trouble for it… The other day my neighbor, who works for a major airline here in Atlanta, knocked frantically on my door. She was holding a plastic bag and practically jumping with excitement. What’s was [...]

burger review: gourmet magazine’s aussie burger

Sunday, June 29, 2008

I think I recently read about Aussie burgers in several places (other food blogs? - no google blog search can help me find this so far), and then it popped up again right in the July issue of Gourmet magazine. In my quest to eat every possible combination of burger toppings at least once [...]

lamb and beef burgers with caper remoulade

As you might have noticed by now, I’m pretty obsessed with Food & Wine magazine. When the June issue arrived last month with the theme of “best new grilling ideas,” I flipped - burgers are my favorite food. These burgers were almost light - the caper remoulade, the cucumber and tomato slices, and [...]

greatest steak marinade of all time (really)

This simple grilled hangar steak salad was inspired by a menu item at my favorite neighborhood restaurant, Murphy’s, in Atlanta’s Virginia Highland neighborhood (there’s features a flank steak, but I’ve been wanting to try hangar steak for some time now). Here’s what I learned: stop whatever you are preparing for dinner tonight, and try [...]
