Barbecue Burnt Ends

Posted by Dax Phillips on November 18th, 2013 filed in Barbecue, Beef, Smoker
Barbecue Burnt Ends

I first fell in love with barbecue when living in Texas. It was probably the first time I really had that perfect smell of what barbecue should have smelled like when eating at Sonny Bryan’s. The chopping away at ribs, brisket, or pork shoulder, piled onto a paper lined tray and served with legitimate sides, […]

Nam Tok – Thai Waterfall Grilled Beef Salad

Posted by Dax Phillips on November 11th, 2013 filed in Appetizers, Asian, Beef, Ethnic, Grilling, Salad, Thai
Nam Tok Recipe

As you probably noticed, my previous recipe was so basic and so simple that you probably were thinking, big deal it’s just toasted rice, but that Thai toasted rice goes along way when used in the right recipe. As I always use the toasted rice when making larb, I also use it in sauces as […]

Corned Beef Cheeseburger

Corned Beef Cheeseburger

Last Friday night we decided to make the classic Wisconsin fish fry. A friend in the family caught a bunch of local crappie and was generous enough to give us a ton of fresh fillets. We were excited to say the least. So as I normally prepare a fish fry, I served it up with […]

The Eggs Benedict Burger

Eggs Benedict Burger Recipe

I don’t know about you but I am a huge fan of eggs benedict, however I do not nearly get to order them as often as I should. Why, you ask? Well, because I have three kids, who on a Sunday, and I’m not up for dealing with any misbehavior, or tom foolery at brunch. […]

Mac and Cheese Burger

Mac and Cheese Burger Recipe

Some times I come up with some crazy recipe when I scavenge through my refrigerator. This again is one of those times, and it was all due to some leftover mac and cheese that my kid had his fill on. I wasn’t going to let it go to waste. Who lets mac and cheese go […]

Peanut Butter and Jelly Bacon Cheeseburger

Peanut butter and Jelly Bacon Cheeseburger Recipe

I know what you are probably thinking right of the bat. Peanut butter and Jelly on a bacon cheeseburger, what are you nuts?! Maybe I am, and maybe I took a small risk at destroying a perfectly great smashed style burger, but stay me on this one. The thought of making this burger only came […]

Merkts Cheeseburger

Merkts Cheeseburger

I don’t know what it is lately, but I have been loving smashed style burgers. In the past I was making burgers, typically on the grill, where they were big, plump, and obviously delicious, but now I have taken the burgers inside on a cast iron skillet, and allowing them to get nice and caramelized. […]

Cuban Frita

Cuban Frita

After reviewing some of the photos that many of you pin from my website, I noticed that the Cuban burger gets tagged quiet a bit, and there is no wonder why. After all, it is everything you want in a great Cuban sandwich but done in a burger kind of way. That got me thinking, and after […]

Bacon Cheeseburger Flatbread

Bacon Cheeseburger Flatbread Recipe

I’ll be the first to admit, I love a good cheeseburger. I know it is grilling season and all, and trust me I love a great burger cooked over charcoal, and I especially have been loving the smash style burgers on a cast iron skillet, but some times you just need to change some things […]

Gyro Pizza

Gyro Pizza Recipe

Let me start by saying nothing beats a good slice of pizza. A while ago I would have thought that a simple taco, or maybe even a cheese burger would trump a slice of pizza, but I think I am sticking with the pizza. You have probably noticed that I have been making a lot […]

Mexican Picadillo

Mexican Picadillo

It was not too long ago when I started to think of a vacation we took years ago to South Carolina. It was a great family trip, and even cousins from the west coast decided to join us as well. Let me just say we had a great time, especially at dinner time when everyone […]

Mexican Cinco de Mayo Burger

Mexican Cinco de Mayo Burger

Lately I have been making some really great burgers. No lie. I often think that a burger is the most quintessential food. To me, it is a like pizza, you can either have one very basic, or you can really take one and make it into anything you want. This is where the Mexican burger […]

Italian Beef Lasagna Recipe

My daughter recently had her first communion, and I cannot tell you how excited she was about it. My wife and daughter planned for weeks for the event, and that left me with planning the food and drink for the post communion party. I thought of many things to make, but then decided I would […]

Gyro Potato Skins

Gyro Potato Skins

I love gyros. I really do. I love everything about them, even the smell that seems to live with your for about six hours after eating one. That punch of onion, the salt feta in a side salad, and the tzatziki sauce that is slathered over the awesome meat. It could be one of my […]

Salisbury Steak Recipe

As I often do, I ask my wife, typically before she has a chance to eat breakfast, lunch, or dinner, what she would like to eat for the day. I’m always hoping she will come up with something I have never made before, but as you might be aware from previous postings, that is rarely […]

Beef and Cheddar Melt Recipe

Beef and Cheddar Melt Recipe

I recently visited our local Mexican grocery store, El Rey Supermercado, not necessarily to buy groceries, or at least I thought, but to stop by and have a couple of tacos for lunch. As I devoured my tacos al pastor, I kept looking at what I had in sight in my peripheral vision. Cheeses, nuts, […]

Kimchi Grilled Cheese Sandwich Recipe

I have had kimchi on my mind for some time now. Who knows why, but I have. You know when you get a craving for something, and try to ignore it but it keeps on coming into your thoughts? Well, that has been happening now for a couple of weeks. Now sure, I could probably […]

Roast Beef Potato Skins Recipe

I’m a big fan of getting creative with leftovers, and reducing food waste. So this past weekend, I had a real craving for some really good roast beef, and I decided to make my own, as I typically do. This made a lot of roast beef, which I was excited for, however roast beef is […]

Chipotle Sloppy Joes

Chipotle Sloppy Joes Recipe

A couple of weeks ago, I asked my middle child what he wanted for the Super Bowl. He sat and thought for a few minutes, then said “Hey, what about sloppy joes?”. I have to be honest and say I was a bit shocked to have him come back with sloppy joes, however I do […]

Garlic and Herb Crusted New York Strip Roast Recipe

I went all out this past Christmas and decided to make a pretty great menu consisting of a shrimp done two ways, some popovers, roasted vegetables, and the star of the show, a New York Strip roast. As my in-laws were requesting that I make another porchetta this year, I decided a couple of weeks […]

The Slopper

Slopper Recipe

If you have never heard of or seen the slopper, well, you are in for something good. I first learned of the slopper from a conversation with one of my colleagues. During the week, there is always conversations surrounding technology, kids, and food. One of the reasons I love my job is that not only […]

Sonoran Hot Dog

Sonoran Hot Dog Recipe

I’ve always been a big fan of hot dogs, and over the last several years fell in love with really good hot dogs, especially Nueske’s style of the hot dog, which they label as a weiner. To me what makes a really great hot dog is its casing, and how it prepared, and to me […]

How to make a Cuban Burger

I have had my mind on a Cuban sandwich for some time now. Now if you have never had the opportunity to have a Cuban sandwich, or have been skeptical to try one, please do me one favor, and try one. There is something to be said about the sandwich, when prepared properly, that it […]

Rice Stuffed Meatballs Recipe

I am a guy that does not plan his meals during the week. I think the only time that might occur is on a Sunday, and only then do I think of using what I cook on Sunday as lunch leftovers for the upcoming work week. As example, this past week I had a hankering […]
