We grill this without the pork and that is great by itself. The Parma just puts it at another level IMO. BTW - your blueberry bbq sauce is the nuts, tried it in Colorado.

Playing around with shrimp dishes this weekend. I call this Cajun Shrimp & Green Chile over Viet Egg Noodles. The sauce has jack cheese, sour cream, heavy cream, bell pepper, onion, green onion, garlic, cayenne, chipotle, and a bunch of Hatch green chile. Why not over linguine you ask? I was too lazy to put on my glasses and couldn't read the damn label.

There's really nowhere else to post this, so I'll just drop it where it probably belongs - in a thread about food.
RIP Chef Kerry Simon. You were an inspiration to me. Your burgers have forever redefined how I grill a hamburger today.
As tribute, I am reposting my review of the now closed KGB Burgers in Las Vegas, from September 10, 2010 for all to enjoy.
In one of the most unusual, and unexpected news stories of 2010, The FBI rounded up and arrested 10 Russian spies on American soil. At the same time the arrests were taking place, KGB Burgers opened in Harrah's Hotel/Casino.
The story was unusual because the Russians are supposed to be our friends now, and can obtain sensitive information just by asking. Adding to the mystery, the spies weren't even connected to top secret information. They were gathering mundane information.
Crap. I am full of mundane information.
I stumble upon KGB Burgers, and am led in by a hostess wearing hip-high fishnet stockings. She is boobs, legs, and a cute little hat. There may have been more, but I didn't notice. Be happy I saw the hat.
She puts me in a super comfortable booth, tucked away from most of the restaurant. I see more waitresses walking about in the same outfits, and I am truly in my happy place.
Lulled into complacency, the interrogation begins.
"Are you having good day?"
"Where are you visiting from?"
After giving up a couple of bits of mundane information I suddenly realize: I am a prisoner of the KGB. And they are going to pump me for all the seemingly ordinary information they can get. Their questioning continues:
"Would you like anything to drink?"
I am onto them, and I fall back on my CIA training I would of recieved if I ever was a member of the CIA. I counter their questions with questions.
"Do you have Stoli Elit?" (My favorite vodka)
My defence plan works as she ends the interrogation "to go check". Most waitresses would know this information. KGB spies would not.
My captor later returned and said they did not have my vodka of choice. Apparently the KGB is on a budget. They resume the interrogation, but I am an unbreakable rock with my counter questions.
Are you ready to order?
How big are your Iron Chef sliders?
She claims 2 oz. They are listed as appetizers, so this seems believable.
Will that be all?
How big is the cheeseburger soup?
She leaves, and clearly I am winning. They try to lower my defenses with a martini, and then bring out a bowl of the cheeseburger soup. Think cheese soup, with about 1/4 - 1/3 lb of ground beef, loaded with french-fry-like cubes of potatoes, a bunch of bacon, and a little cheesey crouton "bun". It's like a cute little hat for the soup. The soup is much larger than the waitress claimed. Then again, she indicated the size with her hands, and I wasn't looking at her hands (I was looking at her hat, remember?)
Then they brought me the sliders and the Macaroni and cheese sticks. The sliders were 2 oz each, times 6 of them. That's 3/4 of a pound. And they were awesome. Tiny bits of bacon cooked right into the patty, served between the best burger buns I've ever had (they were glazed in butter). The Mac and cheese sticks were no joke either, but it was enough food to feed me for 4 days. It was so good, I could not stop until I was painfully stuffed. I had to place my arms on the back of the booth in an attempt to stretch my stomach capacity.
My interrogator returned, and I could no longer resist.
Would you like dessert?
no, thank-you.
Would you like a box?
sure.
They cracked me.
As I write this review, I sit in a pitch black room. It is 5 am. 9 hours have elapsed since my ordeal, and I am still painfully stuffed. It may be possible to die from eating too much meat.
If so, look for my star on the wall at Langley.
Rest in Peace.

My trip to Poland and UK was gluttonous...
Deer with raspberry glaze, pesto, carrots, potato, and beets.
Ribeye cooked over a wood fire for smokey goodness...
Butter chicken curry, lamb curry, and chicken tika.
A mix of lots of protein and fried stuff on a cutting board. Mushrooms and tomato on a skewer.
Ultimate burger consisting of 9 oz burger, chicken breast, egg over easy, pulled pork, portabello mushroom, gherkin, lettuce, and cheese.
Pork pie, two scotch eggs, and salad.
Lamb rump with butternut squash puree, pesto, zucchini, and arugula on top.
Finally a Ribeye with a bernaise sauce at Heston Blumenthal's restaurant at Heathrow before a long flight back to the US.
If I die of a heart attack... you know why, but it was tasty.

Wifey and I both got home at the same time last night from work. She suggested an impromptu date night. I'll never say no to that.
started dinner with a Two Hearted Ale (3 bucks during happy hour). We only got there 20 minutes before HH was to end. I asked the waitress to bring me a second one before it expired. She did, and received a great tip.
They absolutely have the best Spinach and Artichoke dip I have ever eaten. We order it every time we go.
Split a Ruben to finish off the meal.

No dinner plans, can't wait that long. Sooooo for lunch we'll go light - Thai Papaya Salad (improvising with a few ingredients) @Puggy this could produce the same result as the enchiladas I PMed you about.
Ingredients:
shredded green papaya (mine was ripening but still crunch so OK)
shredded carrot
3 whole Thai chilies (adjust for taste - 1/2 for sallies and 5-10 for Thais)
green bean (long beans are best but regular are ok too)
3 garlic clove (thai garlic is superior in this - use 5 if you have them)
2 tbs - Thai fish sauce (buy same color as Coca cola - light color is shit quality)
2 tbs - palm sugar (no real substitute)
1.5 tbs - fresh lime juice
dried shrimp (placed in warm water for about 3 minutes then drained)
cherry tomatoes
roasted peanuts (didn't have any )
Shred the papaya by holding it in your hand and hitting it with a long blade deeply penetrating the flesh (not yours!). Then slice off the strips. You can use a julienne gadget but you won't get as crunchy a result. Here is what it should look like.
Put the garlic and chili and a wooden or clay mortar and pestle and beat the crap out of it. Don't let the seeds from the peppers fly out and hit you in the eye. If this happens you are forked for the next several minutes. Then add the shrimp and greens and bruise them in.
Put all of the papaya and carrot in the mortar. Mix the sugar, lime juice, and fish sauce until dissolved then pour into the mortar. Put the halved cherry tomatoes in as well then bruise it together while using a large spoon to turn in so everything is well mixed and marinated. Plate it with all the juice and sprinkle with chopped roasted peanuts if you have them. I also garnish with cilantro but that is not authentic Thai for this dish and you might not like it.

A little vacation in Cali. Had a cioppino which I think of as the quintessential San Francisco dish.
Also washed it down with a brew I had never had before. Like drinking alcoholic Nutella
