Happy Canadian Thanksgiving @goosehd
-
I'm cooking all these egg whites I have left over from making two Boston Cream pies. To make my burritos
-
I made this "chicken Parm" out of old crap in the freezer. The pasta and sauce was new.
The toast was an old hamburger bun lmao

On night 1 in NOLA, grabbed a cheeseburger and fries from Fat Boy Pantry, a random place in Lower Garden District I hit up after some cocktails at Barrel Proof down the block. Burger was really good (would have been better still with dill than sweet pickles) and the fries were some of the best I’ve ever had, especially when I hit em with some Tony’s.
Next morning I went to Molly’s Rise and Shine by the Turkey & the Wolf people. Still haven’t made it to the latter yet, I just don’t get down here enough these days. I had their riff on an egg McMuffin and my pal had a sausage biscuit. @alex and Keira went to Turkey & the Wolf, and when I bumped into them at Mojo Roasters I told them about the sandwich I just had from their sister restaurant. Ultimately I was uninterested in eating anything else until 12 hours later for dinner. Sausage, hash brown, caramelized onions, some sort of ketchup, American cheese, and I opted for a perfect fried egg.
That was fantastic, but the best bites I had this trip were from a shithole in Gulfport that is counter service, cash only, no inside dining. I couldn’t even eat half of it but really magnificent fried platter.
I’m ready to eat salads for the rest of my life now.

We’ve been eating really well in Mexico City! I still can’t believe it’s been three years since we visited. We had an amazing meal at Corazón del Maguey in Coyoacán, complete with mezcal flights.
We’ve also been getting a lot of amazing home cookin’ as we’re staying with Marcia’s aunt Carmen, who loves to cook and spoil everyone.

Been wanting to try this burger pop up for months and finally made it

@mclaincausey …that smile is worth a million dollars. You look like your daughter (or she looks like you)!

Thanks brotha, I take that as high praise. She has been asking for French fries for days, including to the waitress at the Japanese restaurant Friday night, so she was similarly giddy

Thanks @jordanscollected when he makes a food rec, you should listen. Pisa Lisa in Sedona.
The Caesar was indeed terrific. The dressing reminded me of a sauce I make for salmon and salmon salad (sometimes for salmon melt sandwiches). Integrating capers: big fan. Also, in the southwest, it can be hard to encounter good Caesars. They tend to feel the need to throw some chipotle into a creamy Caesar dressing and toss some corn niblets, black beans, tortilla strips, and if you’re really unlucky, black olives on it and call it a “southwestern Caesar.” Look, I get it. Technically it’s a dish of Mexican origin. But no. I opted for the anchovies and artichokes because why the heck wouldn’t I?
Pizza, also superb, and I knew from the smell in the place and the oven it would be. They use a mother sauce instead of more of a VPN style sauce on this margherita with prosciutto (the specialty pies looked great but went with a favorite and a good rest of their pie skills) and this gave it a different, homey vibe, like mamma would make. Very good and a bit different than your normal margherita.

Glad you stopped in @mclaincausey! We tried to go a second time but it was too busy to get seated. They must have updated their Caesar salad because I recall it having preserved lemon vinaigrette or something similar. Cheers and enjoy the lack of trees and water in Sedona.
-
I do prefer vinaigrette-based Caesar generally. In face I love the original recipe with the coddled egg and everything. This has lemon and caper built into a creamy but light dressing and was perfectly dressed. Thanks again for the rec, off to explore some more!

Cancelled the fancy, overpriced dinner after @Palmer was all too correct about Sedona as a tourist trap. I love the countryside, love the resort, but the town reminded me of Estes Park, CO and it turned me off the dinner. So we went to Cottonwood and had some wine and salumi at Maynard James Keenan’s (of TOOL) Merkin tasting room and osteria.
The filth doesn’t stop with the name “Merkin,” there was a wine called “The Diddler” and even the barrels have glory holes.
Anyway then we found the OTHER good restaurant in Sedona that was booked out for eternity and got there at opening to sneak a couple of bar seats. Fantastic meal at Elote.
A flight of El Jolgorio and a dram of a very limited mezcal of theirs made my night. Just fantastic spirits across the board. Something about that Tepeztate always gets me.
Elote, nopales salad, Niman Ranch smoked brisket enchiladas, and buffalo mole poblano all excellent as were the chips and salsa.
And we got to see Santa!

Only Maynard would name his restaurant after a pubic wig [emoji23]
