Damn Chiva, that egg **** at the top of the page. Drool.

Thapointguy, what do you spice that porklion with? is the Alfredo sauce from scratch?

Sorry for the late late reply. Pork came already seasoned from the supermarket (FoodMaxx to be exact). It's vacuum packed so it's already marinated so you pop it in the oven with the bag it came in. Besides it has bacon in it so you don't have to buy that. Sauce was store bought unfortunately. I'll try to make it from scratch one of these days.


omg all these food pics it's hard to stick around this thread on the regular lol

Real talk, how do you guys find these places to eat? Do you guys use apps like Yelp to help you out? I've always wanted to go eat at all those places Guy Fieri shows on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives.

I use Yelp A LOT. Anything with 4 or more stars PLUS a lot of reviews (in the hundreds) = a must try, imo.

I also ask around. Ask people who live near the areas and out their go-to spots, etc... it's almost like hunting for shoes. Just keep utilizing resources.

Same. My friends make fun of me when I pull out yelp to find places to eat, but it works so well. haha. But just asking around, browsing instagram, things just pop
up and friends will mention it here and there. Lots of cool foods no matter where you live.

Happy New Year to everyone...

I went to my in-laws house for a new year's brunch. There was so much great food & drink but I felt kinda weird snapping a pic of my plate because there were so many people around.

I had wings & waffles, mac & cheese, collard greens, black eyed peas, jambalaya, shrimp & grits, & more. Everything was home made. Best of all someone made some curry chicken & callaloo!!!

Here's a pic of my 10 year old son getting down to a nice bowl of collard greens after dusting off some wings & waffles & some bacon. That boys loves bacon... He's sporting the black Neymar shirt & green & black hypervenoms that he got for Christmas.

Most places I already knew of. Some I heard through word of mouth. I've gone to eat at spots that I checked out in the NT Southern California forum, but most stopped posting. It's mostly me posting now with some heads sprinkled here and there...

Google is nice too. I'll google what I want and in what area, then I'll yelp whatever pops up from the searches.

 

[chiva1908]

I'm at work, I'll post meals from the past few days when I get home lol

Homemade "Boiling Crab - Whole Shabang"

Homemade BBQ chicken sliders on King's Hawaiian Rolls w/ Salt and Pepper Kettle Chips...

(I forgot what's in the upper right corner. Pasta was bomb though.)

That boil looks .
I usually just throw crab, shrimp, crayfish, clams, corn, etc. together and boil it in plain water. Might add some spices to the mix next time.

Chiva is NT's Anthony Bourdain or Eddie Huang...

Seriously Chiva, you got an SLR right? You should film your travels around your city & post them on youtube. I'd watch 'em... Think about it...

You wanna share a recipe?

Follow this video and you should be STRAIGHT. Mess with the ingredient amounts to fit your liking.

1. Make sure you keep it on low heat and stir it periodically like she says. It won't dissolve completely, so you make get a 'chunky' type feel to the ingredients. It's just all the spices mixed together.

2. Depending on the level of spicy you want, the way she has it is pretty damn spicy. So we took it down a notch and only did a TSP of Cayenne Pepper and a TSP of the Lousiana Hot Sauce as opposed to 2 TBSP's of each.

Good luck!
