All About Swai I like fish. It’s a genetic thing. My dad was crazy about fish and seafood. So much so, that when he came to visit me in Hong Kong, we pretty much had fish/seafood three meals a day because of the preponderance of fresh product there. When I was growing up, we routinely… Continue reading All About Swai

HomeBeck Burgermaster Review
I’m a big burger eater, and I’ve developed my own fairly elaborate system of buying burger and getting them ready for cooking on demand. It’s rather time and labor intensive – I buy bulk ground beef, shape, shape it into patties of a uniform size and weight, but them on parchment paper on a cookie… Continue reading HomeBeck Burgermaster Review
Those Crispy Fried Onion Thingies
Green bean casserole is the ubiquitous Thanksgiving (and other holidays) side dish. Does anybody make it on days other than holidays? The original recipe was developed in 1955 (happy 60th birthday!) by Dorcas Reilly, who headed the “home economics” team at Campbell’s Soup Company. They wanted to create a fast and easy dish from two ingredients… Continue reading Those Crispy Fried Onion Thingies
Pastrami Dip Recipe
I first heard of, and experienced the “pastrami dip” at a West Los Angeles icon, Johnnie’s Pastrami, on Sepulveda near the Culver City border. It’s a favorite corner of mine, also home to “Cinco de Mayo” (formerly Lucy’s #2) a Los Angeles style Mexican fast food stand open all night. I used to sit there… Continue reading Pastrami Dip Recipe
Maries Salad Dressing Review
I admit to being a salad dressing snob, preferring the very premium brands. Eh? You’re saying you don’t believe BurgerDogBoy eats salad? Well, sure, on occasion. One of the groceries I frequent isn’t very ‘brand loyal” meaning from time to time, you’ll see different manufacturer’s products than you are used to. This week, in the… Continue reading Maries Salad Dressing Review
Olive Soup Recipe
Olive Soup Recipe Traveling in Eastern Europe, I became quite a fan of hearty soups, especially in Poland, where my one of my favorites became “Dill Pickle Soup.” I was thinking about it the other day, and thought, “hey, why not, olive soup?” So I gave it a try and it’s wonderful. Ingredients 1 T… Continue reading Olive Soup Recipe
Sunday Brunch Recipe
Before Mrs Burgerdogboy passed, we lived in Portland, Oregon, for a number of years, which celebrates the complete and utter silliness of Sunday brunch on so many levels; in short, you’ll wait in line a really long time to overpay for pretty normal fare. The television show “Portlandia” did a pretty funny bit on it,… Continue reading Sunday Brunch Recipe
Fried Onion Burger Recipe
Every year, in El Reno, Oklahoma, they hold the Fried Onion Burger Festival; they’ve been cooking up their special recipe burgers for nigh onto fifty years or more. Local favorites include Robert’s Grill. I had a fancy to whip some up at home recently, with mixed results. In Oklahoma, a handful of fresh ground is… Continue reading Fried Onion Burger Recipe
Millionaire Tuna Salad Recipe / Melt
Millionaire Tuna Salad / Melts Why “Millionaire?” Because I start with fresh Ahi which I order from a sashimi supplier. Regardless of your source, using fresh tuna of any ilk to your preparations that call for tuna, adds an entirely new depth of flavor and texture over the canned product. Ingredients Fresh tuna steak, sushi… Continue reading Millionaire Tuna Salad Recipe / Melt
Cuban Pork Roast Recipe
I had this girlfriend from Barcelona who had many charms and talents, not the least of which was in the kitchen. On occasion, she would make me a traditional dish, which I have long forgotten the name of – it was cubed chunks of porks heavily encrusted with herbs. It was delicious, especially served… Continue reading Cuban Pork Roast Recipe
