Fried Pork with Onions And Peppers
Served with yellow rice dotted with peas and a condiment cup of red (creole?) sauce on the side, this is definitely the most unusual version of this dish we’ve ever seen. Sadly, the most notable seasoning on the onions and peppers was […]
Vaca Frita
Vaca Frita (Fried Cow)… This is one of the all-time great classic Cuban dishes. The best? On the right day, we might debate the issue.
Tender shreds of braised or roast beef are pan-fried until crispy at the edges. Then, it’s usually tossed with […]
Masas de Puerco Frita
Tender chunks of roast pork are deep fried and served with onions marinated in mojo. Mojo is the secret ingredient to so many phenomenal Cuban dishes. This bright marinade and/or sauce consists of a blend of citrus, garlic and a touch of vinegar.
Food Should Taste Good Brand Hemp Tortilla Chips
The Taste?
Yep, it tastes like a tortilla chip.
But, there is a hint of smoky, nutty(ish) flavor that’s quite pleasant. That very light nutty flavor is probably closer to the roasty toasty […]
No, that’s not bbq’d pork. It’s roasted pork.
This pork was roasted so perfectly tender that it was possible to pull into succulent threads. Those threads were then tossed in a gravy made of the pan drippings. Topped with a buttery biscuit, this was home style decadence.
Nooks, Crannies, & Cobblestones
Equal parts of gloss, character, charm and tasty nibbles, we were instantly delighted and bemused. The exterior is shiny new and modern. Then, you step into the dimly lit interior. Cobblestones cover the floor. Each turn exposes another cleverly placed table or booth dripping […]
Red Boat Fish Sauce
(VERY IMPORTANT: Make sure you buy the 40° N version.)
First Press
Why should you try this fish sauce?
Two reasons:
Black Anchovies and Sea Salt
(These are […]
Cheerwine
Torta Cubana
From the top layers of guacamole, lettuce and diced tomatoes to the bottom layer of beef, this was one killer sandwich.
(And, it’s more than enough (too much, really) after a morning hiker or two up Stone Mountain.)
[…]
Hot N’ Chilly Chili Mini Pops (Air Popped Sorghum Grain)
Dusted with chili powder, garlic and other spices (cumin and paprika?), this is a nice little snack. But, the little popped grains have an unpleasant ratio of pesky skins to fluffy grain. That’s even more […]
Steamed Buns
Pretty, fluffy and tasty.
Dumplings In Chili Oil
Even though this was the mildest form of the dish we’ve ever tasted, we both loved these tender dumplings in a sauce rich with chili flavor. There was almost no heat […]
