Street Tacos

I’ve been hooked watching Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations. There was an episode he did in Mexico that featured a small roadside cart that was whipping up tons of these street tacos.  After watching it, I was craving these little snacks of goodness. They really are extremely easy to make and very cheap. I got about 3 days worth of food, heavy eating mind you, for about $20, which is alot cheaper than going to a fast food place. You can also swap out the beef for chicken if you like.

Kitchen Nightmare Failures

As a Kitchen Nightmares addict, I always wonder how many of these restaurants that Gordon comes to end up failing after the show.  It looks like the show is great for giving tips and bringing in some new business for a short time after appearing but then the place either goes back to it’s old ways or the hype dies down and takes the business with it. Here’s a list of the episodes, the restaurants and their outcomes. Places in Bold are still active and operational.

Types of Tea

I seen an article about the different types of tea and I can say that I never knew all tea was the same leave just a different prep process. I drink a ton of tea and always thought that green was different from the regular brown and so on, and it’s cool as hell to see more info about something that I probably drink 3 gallons plus of a week. .

Karađorđeva Šnicla

(Карађорђева шницла) is a Serbian breaded cutlet dish named after the Serbian Prince Karadjordje. It is a rolled veal or pork steak, stuffed with kajmak and bacon, and breaded and baked (or fried). It is usually served with roasted potatoes and tartar sauce.

The steak is a modern invention, created by chef Mića Stojanović in 1959 who, when needed to prepare Chicken Kiev for a distinguished visitor from Russia, was faced with lack of poultry. He used veal instead of chicken. However, not fully satisfied with the result, he poured tartar sauce over it, and decorated it with a slice of lemon and pieces of tomato, which at the end resembled Karadjordje’s star decoration, and thus was the steak named. The dish is sometimes called jokingly “maidens’ dream” (devojački san), because of its phallic shape.
