Now, I try to keep a finger on the pulse of the fan favorites – especially when it comes to mex/texmex food. You know this is accurate because of my duplicate TB Mexican Pizza post. It’s hard to judge, but the “cheesy gordita crunch” may have the “mexican pizza” beat regarding popularity. So […]

Sometimes these things just write themselves. Maybe I’ll find a recipe online and tweak it and present it. Sometimes I’ll dine somewhere and try to do a recreation. Other times, it’s a “Will this work?” and if it does – you see it. This one was kind of bizarre. Was traveling for work

Another taco post. You’re correct. But this one is dirty. Growing up, I remember Burger King had a $1 taco for a limited time. I ate a lot of these deep fried, not great tacos. People were talking about how they reminded them of Jack-in-the-Box tacos, and inevitably the conversation went to kangaroo

Here’s a bit of a fun one. This mexican pizza thing has always had a cult following. I remember when they got rid of it, the internet uproar was heavy. I don’t really remember this ever being my go-to growing up. I always had the crunchy taco with hot sauce. That was about

Football Saturday is special. Always has been, and hopefully always will be. This particular cook was done months ago, but I can’t just let it slide. I gotta share with you what happens when the invite happens. Check back to my previous tailgate posts: Lobster Rolls and Pastrami. I set the tone, earning

Had a flank steak sitting in the freezer for a little while, and I had a solid hankering for some fajitas. Now, one of my first posts (almost 4 years ago!) was an absolute banger of a carne asada – check it out here: Carne Asada – Marinated Flank Steak. Today, we’re going

Tacos aren’t anything new over here. And while I’ve eaten more than my fair share, I don’t think I’ve displayed any kind of seafood taco on here. What is new is the idea of me making a mango habanero salsa. You know I do around here.. I’ll walk you through my process, but

A bit early to be calling my favorite cook of the year, but this one hit all the feels in the right way. I’ve had the trompo in the arsenal for awhile and after a failed attempt and it being loaned out for a little bit, it was time to try it again.

This is definitely one of those posts where I start it with “Man, I love tacos.. but I feel like a burger”. Or was it “I love burgers, but I feel like tacos”. I think it was the former, because I didn’t want the burger buns to go to waste. This was also
