Favorite meal all time
If you could only have one meal and were pressed to choose what that meal would be , what would you eat ?
Don't care whether you pick something plain or fancy , casual or formal JUST your all-time favorite meal to eat?
no right or wrong answers, I was just thinking of this and mulling over all the options in my own head. I'm having a hard time with it because we all like many different things for many different reasons. But if I had to choose only one favorite meal ? I'm still thinking it over

Re: Favorite meal all time
chef you have cooking videos on youtube?
Re: Favorite meal all time
No, but I used to do a weekly cooking demo segment on my local KYMA TV station here.... As an Executive Chef working for a big corporation all of the recipes I create are proprietary rights of Sodexo.... I also have a "no competition clause" in my contract means I can't get a second job or write a book etc.... I'll have to wait about 10 more years until I retire to write a book etc. that way I won't get sued.... LOLVIP wrote:chef you have cooking videos on youtube?

Man this is such a tough question and can change on any given day.
My favorite food is probably Mexican and a really solid taco just can't be beat.

If you have any special way of prepping the meat ( special blend of seasonings, type of beef used, etc) or any "secret ingredients" that makes your taco special feel free to share the recipe.

Re: Favorite meal all time
There is a taco place in town that does the quintessential Americanized Mexican food. Corn tacos that are load with seasoned ground beef (very fine) lettuce, cheese, sour cream, and sauce. It is like crack (I actually had it last night). Nothing super special about it, just hits my taste buds just right. I really love a good fried flour taco as well, got a place in town that does one with a seasoned meat, lettuce and sauce. So good.classicboxfan wrote:tmoney1224 wrote:Man this is such a tough question and can change on any given day.

When I prepare tacos at home, I do have a pretty down pat method. I take 1 lb raw ground beef (or ground turkey depending on how healthy I am feeling) and add a taco seasoning packet, around 3/4 cups of water, and around 1/3 cup of my favorite taco sauce. It is important to add all of this first before the meat has cooked to get that very fine consistency in the meat. I have tried to make taco seasoning myself, but just haven't found anything I like better than the packets.
Let the meat cook and all the liquid evaporate. Again, depending on how healthy I'm feeling, I will drain off some of the grease.
My taco assembly goes: corn shell, meat, sauce, sour cream, lettuce, cilantro, cheese, tomatoes.

Re: Favorite meal all time
getting me flippin' hungry here ! Sounds goooooooooood. The reason I was asking is I have a frozen pack of buffalo meat in my freezer and was wondering how that would mix flavor profile-wise as a taco filling ? They make great burgers and it's about the healthiest red meat you can eat. It's on the pricey side ( at least where I live) so I only get it once in a while.tmoney1224 wrote:There is a taco place in town that does the quintessential Americanized Mexican food.

Re: Favorite meal all time
We actually have pretty decent supply of bison meat around here. I don't know if I would use it in taco meat, just because I feel like any ground meat will work pretty well tacos, and with bison being on the more expensive side, I would almost consider it a waste. With bison, I usually just do a burgers as well. With meat as lean as bison, I like to throw just a drizzle of olive oil and a handful of breadcrumbs to keep the meat nice and moist. Salt and Pepper both sides of the patty, maybe a touch of grill seasoning, and we are happy campers.classicboxfan wrote:

Re: Favorite meal all time
I figured bison might be too lean for tacos just thought it might taste good, akin to chili with venison instead of chopped beef. But you are probably right.tmoney1224 wrote:We actually have pretty decent supply of bison meat around here.

That is a good point though, venison chili is delicious. Feel free to go for it and report back.classicboxfan wrote:I figured bison might be too lean for tacos just thought it might taste good, akin to chili with venison instead of chopped beef.

Thank god my mother and grandmother don't read this:
I'll take my mother in law's pernil, arroz con guandule and maduros. The appetizer's being mofongo de camarones, tostones, and relleno de papa.

I really like Chili. I think That's my fav right now. A bed of basmati rice, my homemade chili sauce and a shit load of grated extra strong cheddar
