I’ve been coming to this place for almost 20 years. It used to be for the hamburgers, and it was the hamburger because the location I used to frequent had a very large “fixin’s bar,” which was quite nice. That feature seems to have vanished. Now I come for the thin sliced fried catfish, cause… Continue reading New Orleans Seafood and Hamburger Co Review – Multiple Locations New Orleans, LA

Buona Beef Grocery Review
I’ve written a lot about Chicago’s Italian Beef sandwich. The easiest way to explain it to those not familiar is to say it’s a highly seasoned French Dip, but the “Dip” part is not on the side but involves dunking the entire sandwich in au jus (only if desired). You can read my explanation of… Continue reading Buona Beef Grocery Review
Winstons Irish Bacon Review
When you request bacon in the US, you know what you are going to get. Smoked/cured thin slices of pork belly, with streaks of fat parallel to streaks of delicious meat. Unless you request “Canadian Bacon” which is neither Canadian nor bacon, but very lean sliced pork loin, cured and smoked. Outside of the US,… Continue reading Winstons Irish Bacon Review
Morris Liquors and Deli Review, Louisville, KY
I love country style cured ham. Dry aged for months and months, salty, flavorful, still tastes like an animal instead of some heavily processed, brine injected, flavored pink stuff. I quizzed Chowhound folks ahead of time to see where I might score some good Kentucky Country Ham in Louisville, and got lots of great suggestions… Continue reading Morris Liquors and Deli Review, Louisville, KY
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
Hormel Deli Roast Beef Review
I’ve been trying out a lot of deli meats, lately, mostly pastrami and corned beef. I’m a fairly big snob / choosy about what I buy, eschewing the more inexpensive brands, which tend to be what I refer to commonly as “chopped, pressed, and form,” meat and other additives reconstituted to resemble roasts. I much… Continue reading Hormel Deli Roast Beef Review
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
Perfect Brunch Recipe Reuben Strata
You may have made a strata before, it’s sorta like quiche, but because of its construction, opens up other flavor possibilities. One of my favorites is to make a “Reuben” strata, which is a perfect alternative brunch recipe. Here’s the dope. Ingredients 8 slices hearty rye bread, crusts removed 2 cups milk or half and… Continue reading Perfect Brunch Recipe Reuben Strata
Devanco Gyro Kit Review
The gyro (however you choose to pronounce it, ”yero’, ‘jy-ro’, ‘geer-o’) is a sandwich of Greek origin consisting of vertically spit roasted meat, cucumber sauce, onion and tomato on a split or folded pita. The name comes from the Greek word which means “turn” – a description of the meat roasting on the revolving vertical… Continue reading Devanco Gyro Kit Review
Barrington, IL – The Bread Basket Restaurant Review
Had a craving for corned beef today, out in the old stomping grounds of idyllic Barrington, IL. So it was off to the Bread Basket, one of the two old standbys for locals in the village. (The other being “The Canteen“). Been here dozens of times, back in the day, it was a favorite… Continue reading Barrington, IL – The Bread Basket Restaurant Review
