Lasagna Timpano

by John on June 6, 2011 · 1 comment

One of my favorite things to cook, especially when people are over, is a big Timpano. It’s a crowd pleaser and guarantees leftovers for days after. If you have no idea what these Timpano things are, I will now provide you with a visual.  This particular Timpano is from the Michigan/Michigan State game a couple years back.  I believe the layers are chicken Parmesan, mozzarella sticks, spaghetti, meatballs and fettuccine Alfredo

I’ve always wanted to come up with some kind of crazy twist and make a hybrid Timpano.  Philly cheese steak Timpano is probably the best idea I’ve had so far.  The Food in my Beard recently came up with the genius idea of a lasagna Timpano.  Look at this thing.  It’s incredible.

I have no words that can equal the deliciousness that is the lasagna Timpano, so I’m going to end this post right here.  Jesus that looks delicious.

Egg in a Basket + Grilled Cheese

by John on February 28, 2011 · 4 comments

Every so often I come across a recipe an wonder why the hell I didn’t think of it.  That moment occurred one again today.  Someone has come up with the greatest breakfast sandwich in the history of breakfast sandwiches.  I’m currently trying to think of something witty to say but all I can think of is making one.  I go now.

The Ultimate Sriracha Burger

by John on February 3, 2011 · 2 comments

Honestly, I have no words for this.  A grilled patty infused with Sriracha and soy, topped with a pile of bacon caramelized onions, Swiss cheese, tomato, arugula, bacon, and blue cheese-Sriracha dressing? That’s one of the most incredible things I have ever seen/heard in my entire life.  If you’re making a burger this Sunday and it isn’t the Ultimate Sriracha burger, you have failed.  Burger fail.  Life fail.

Check out the recipe here.

Cheddar Ale Soup

by John on January 30, 2011 · 3 comments

I wanted to write a little something about how delicious Cheddar Ale Soup is simply because I have had several good bowls of it lately.  I had the idea of doing one of my “way too much information about something you’ve never really wondered about” pieces, but there’s really not much information available on the stuff.  It’s popular in New England and Vermont?  See, not very interesting.

The soup is a perfect blend of creamy and cheesy, without tasting like a bowl of melted cheese with some milk added to it.  Good cheddar ale soup has a perfect blend of cheese, cream and spice creating a subtle, yet rich soup.  When I speak of this perfect blend, Grizzly Peak’s Cheddar ale soup immediately comes to mind.  Their soup is seriously killing the cheese soup game.  During my soup research, I actually found the recipe.  Goldmine.

Grizzly Peak's Cheddar Ale Soup

I’ve been on a Sidetrack soup kick as of late.  For some reason I never really got into their soups and I’m now realizing that was a mistake.  This past Thursday, they just happened to be serving Cheddar ale soup.  A little richer than Grizzly Peak’s, but good nonetheless.  I ate half of the bowl before I realized that I should probably document the experience with a photograph.  That’s what you call a compliment.

I end this semi-pointless tribute to Cheddar ale soup by requesting that you comment and tip me on where to go for Cheddar ale soup.  I need more of it.  Please, help.

Bacon Wrapped Chicken Stuffed with Jalapeno Poppers

October 21, 2010

Seriously.  Who thought of this?   I’ve wrapped jalapeno poppers in bacon before but never went as far as to stuff a chicken with one THEN wrap everything in bacon.  If I have some sort of high up government job I would recommended you for an award.   You have some major ...
