who can cook good and what is your best dish

Homemade burgers, mmmmmmmmmm *mouth watering*

I use to cook at a pretty good resturaunt some time ago, and showed me how to make the BEST banana split. It will make your knees weak :)

Banana split:
1 banana
1 Tablespoon of sugar
1 Tablespoon of brown sugar
a Dash of cinnamin (like a pinch worth)
1 tablespoon of butter
Southern comfort
Vanilla Ice Cream

Take the brown sugar, white sugar, cinn., and *melted* butter, mix up well, put in a saucepan at med. temp.

Take the banana, cut in half, then stand them up vertical, and cut in half again.

Put bananas in saucepan with the sugar and stuff, get the bananas covered in the sugars (which should now be a sweet, caramal colored sauce) and let it heat for about 2-5minmin.

Now, the fun part. Put about 2 small splashes of Southern Comfort. About, a shot glass full. Do it in small spurts though, as it is flammable and it will flame up just a little bit (no more than 1ft high flame, maybe lower)

Continue to heat it up, get it all mixed in really well.

Take some vanilla icecream, pout the sauce over the ice cream and put the bananas in with it :)

I use to get this for free every night I worked. We'd get all baked up and munch out on everything in that kitchen. :p

Peace

I know this isn't really related to the topic in hand, but I love sushi, try and find an authentic resteraunt, one that's not too commercial, dammit I'm hungry now, all this talking about food.

Hey Sensi, have you ever tried Jamaican Jerk? If you like spicy food it's fantastic. I have a recipe for a Jerk sauce that you put on chicken that is truly awesome. I don't remember the actual recipe right now but basically you put a bunch of fresh jalapenos, some white and green onions, some allspice, some cloves, sugar, and some salt into a blender and blend into a paste. Rub it on some chicken a few hours, or overnight, and then grill it up. The sweetness of the sugar, allspice, and cloves gives a really interesting contract to the spicy jalapenos and onions and gives it a really unique flavor. Not too mention the fact that if its from Jamaica you know it must go good with the ganj:stoned:

Yes I have, its lovely. I love spicy food, I find food made without chillies very bland, and am always sprinkling them over everything I eat, the little green birdseye chillies are the best :) I use 22 of them in my mince & potato curry and its just perfect :thumbsup:

I am from Italian and Ukrainian descent's... I love the food from both and cook it often... My fav recipe is from the Ukrainian side and it is perogies... I make them once a year around the holidays...

I think I'll plan to make them soon as this thread is making me hungry for them...

There is no best dish, only the right one for the time and place.
Samurai with a spatula, HAYA!

I make ass kicking soups and my favorite is a seafood chowder that I am still working on and it changes a bit every time I make it. Anything I make on the grill (charcoal, not gas) is awesome if I do say so myself. My newest thing is making sushi although I've only done it once. I also make a great variation on fried rice...sort of a breakfast version with Jimmy Dean sausage.
Any Iron Chef fans out there?? (japanese version)
