Monster Steak

So last weekend I was out in Kitchener with my girlfriend and went to a BBQ at a buddies place. I thought I was being helpful walking in the door with two packages of grocery store sausages, nothing fancy but hey it was something. Little did I know what I was walking into. Just about the biggest steak I have ever set my eyes on. As soon as I saw this beast it was if time froze and I was momentarily lifted into carnivorous heaven. So much meat, my mouth was watering immediately and I wanted to walk out the door with my head hanging for bring pre made sausages that were mediocre at best.

 Just looking at that picture brings me back to that minute of culinary perfection. Sure I like to try new things and come up with my own ideas but it is hard to beat a classic like this. Though the meat was fairly tough I was still one happy camper and extremely happy that my friends wanted to involve me in this giant steak adventure. When all was said and done we got through about half of this beast. With one satisfied appetite the rest of the evening was fantastic and at the end of the night I was left wondering what the next food adventure would entail...

Just A Thought

So I was in the mood for some chicken today and decided to whip up some chicken cordon bleu. It's pretty quick and easy and mighty tasty so it seemed like the right thing to do. After I pulled it out of the oven I realized something. With the ham and cheese oozing out of the chicken it looked eerily similar to a KFC Double Down sandwich (which I have yet to try).

  The first photo is what I made for supper and the second is the KFC sandwich. Can you see the resemblance?  This really wants me to go out and try one of these KFC sandwiches even though they contain almost a full days worth of sodium, half the recommended daily fat intake and over 500 calories. 

I am trying to figure out how they can sell something with this little nutritional value, heck at least a Big Mac has lettuce on it. If you've tried the Double Down leave a comment and let me know what you thought of it...

Another Pizza Creation

So there are obviously many different types of pizza. You can put just about anything on top of a pie and make it work, everything from classic pepperoni some artichoke and broccoli and just about anything else you can think of. With that in mind why not try bacon wrapped chicken wings on top?

This started out with the idea of a chicken wing casserole but evolved into the chicken wing pizza once we were all at the grocery store picking up supplies. Chicken wings and pizza were on sale so why not run with it? What you see in the picture is bone in chicken wings wrapped in bacon and covered with a bunch of extra cheese. It was pretty tasty if I do say so myself but next time for obvious reasons boneless wings will be used. It can be quite difficult to cut a pizza that has chicken bones scattered throughout. Eating it was also interesting as the wings had to be pulled off. Done this way the idea is much better in theory but with some tweaking could be done practically.  Well I have a hankering for some of the pulled pork I have waiting for me in the kitchen so until next time keep them food ideas coming!
