What's for dinner?

[Mentaltossflycoon]

Nice! My neighbors do a killer Reuben burger at their restaurant, with corned beef they smoke at home.

I'd eat that!

I'd eat that!

It's not officially on the menu, but it was a special a few times and as long as the owner is there she'll do one any time if asked. They do a lot of weird fusion-ish stuff, like Irish nachos, which use corned beef and tater tots instead of chips.

The Portland food cart scene is wild, I haven't checked out any new ones in ages though.

Reminds me of a bbq joint in Sellwood that would chop up burnt ends into their hamburger meat, topped with pimento cheese. Genius move.

Pizza night on Thursdays. I always make it from scratch but this caught my eye at the grocery store.


They we're very "generous" with the cedar.



The regular Pizza continues. Beer fermented dough. I think I found my favorite combo of toppings. Spicy cup pepperoni, sun-dried tomatoes, and diced banana peppers.



For frozen pizza, the Cheeze-it pie was not bad. Definitely needs more than the 8 minutes prescribed to get a well done bake on the crust to firm it up. The signature flavor was there but very faint. If it was as strong as the cracker I think would have been. A divine umami bomb. Good flavor from the sauce and pepperoni. It didn't have that plain cardboard flavor but the crust did have a weird flour-ey quality.

Hell yeah. I gotta try that cheez-it pizza. I’m a sucker for gimmicky frozen food.

It's disappointing though. It's not a bad frozen pizza by any means and the concept is solid but the cheeze it flavor was diluted by the flour used to make the crust.

So I am thinking on it. I am going to get a box of Cheeze-Its and will pulverize them into a course meal and see what I can do to make it into a pizza dough. However I will have to use flour. I definitely think adding tomato paste, msg, and maybe a cheddar cheese powder that has milk solids would do the trick.

 

[drgonzo1969]

I was maybe just gonna crush up some cheez-it’s and sprinkle on top haha

Tell me I am over-thinking things without telling me I'm over-thinking things .

 

[drgonzo1969]

Maybe do both!

 

[Nostradoomus]

Crushed up cheezit on top, right at the end with a quick broil.

I picked up some of those Old Bay flavored Goldfish, the seasoning is a bit strong on their own, but put them in a mix with Cheez-its and mixed nuts it's more palatable. Think they'd be great crushed up in crab cakes!

They are actually good. Old bay hot sauce is good too. I would love for McCormick and Ken's Foods to release a Old Bay Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ Sauce.

 

[drgonzo1969]

next time I need to rewrite the menu for the restaurant I work at, I am coming here bounce ideas, for real haha

 

[Mentaltossflycoon]

I saw taco bell did a cheezit thing too a while back. I don't know... I like cheese crackers and all but I've never thought "holy shit these should go in everything!" I once saw a dude eat goldfish crackers in a bowl with milk so maybe my aversion is trauma related.

 

[Feral Feline]

Taco Hell to goldfish swimming in milk...


Traumatised barely begins to cover it.


So... tell me about your mother...

Ate an MRE yesterday. The cheese sauce has improved, but that makes it worse! Today is tastes like a colloidal paste infused with an entire mac n cheese powder sachet.

Old school was cheeto dust in margarine, like it's supposed to be!

The chicken (chicken chunks) was just canned chicken, only in a flat retort pouch. BBQ sauce was just BBQ sauce. I hate BBQ flavored chips, but the corn nuts were actually pretty good—high praise from me. The weirdest part, though, was an energy bar . The consistency was off the OG power bars, but the flavor was …weird. Like it altered the taste of everything else I had after it. The shelf stable tortillas? Tasted like they just came from the store. Food science is mad science!

Maybe I'll try Old Bay as a rub next time I do ribs or a Pork Butt
