American Food

[ilikecheese]

Anybody else ever been to the Dinner Bell in McComb, MS? I bet you will now, if you're in town.

It's all good, but make sure you get some fried eggplant - it's the one thing you don't want to miss. Just keep getting that table to turn around until it gets to you. (see lower right corner)

Haha...I bet I'm one of the only ones on here that's been to McComb, MS.

Hatch green chile...well anything, but biscuits in particular:

living in Tucson one of my favorite philanthropies was the local Safeway supermarket would a couple times a year bring over a huge batch of Hatch green chiles and grill 'em up in these big iron barrel-grills out in front of the store. Buy a bag for $5, with $1 going to fight Breast Cancer or whatever the chain's philanthropy of the month was.

Get those, some Texas Ranch beans, tortillas (partial to flour myself), a rotisserie chicken, "mexican" four cheese shredded cheaese mix and some good sauce (Cholula, Tapatio, Gringo Bandito) or some thicker salsa and you've got two days of fantastico gringo burritos.

(Both Frontera - Rick Bayless - and Mrs Renfro are great, but PROTIP! Swerve the Ghost Pepper Salsa. Jog on, soft lads, not worth it. )

Mexican food is the best in the world, and Tex-Mex gives it a close run. For the flour vs corn tortilla debate I was firmly on Team Flour until going to Mexico and having fresh pressed corn tortillas. Now I'm Team Flour if I'm lazy and buying them, but have begun to make my own corn tortillas at home because they are goddamn delicious when fresh pressed.

Thanks for the salsa tips too, I'm constantly looking for better salsa (and making my own, but am often too damn lazy for that).

Salsa is a bit like Craft Beer now. At least in the Southwest. There are a lot of mom and pop or smaller ones you can find on the shelf at a supermarket that maybe don't have wide distribution. Frontera is made by Rick Bayless, the guy who won the first Top Chef Masters for his Mexican cuisine, that should have a good nat'l reach. Mrs Renfro's I've seen in Oregon and AZ, so at least some distro.

And waxing poetic about salsa because the only we have here is the Mexican equivalent of Middlsbrough, so even seeing the words "Hatch chiles" has me pining for the American southwest.

Be carefully food flirting with Bry. He's apt to propose.

If you get close, just go. Buses full of church ladies will be waiting along with you. It's worth it.

I may be lacking some of the other desired attributes

Biscuits and gravy

Who had to eat that? Who came last?
