White Trash Gourmet

I was trying to think of some kind of feature to put here before Memorial day hits and the entire summer is reserved for grilling, smoking, and barbeque. Now, now ... before you (and I) start mouth-watering over the thought of delicious smoked brisket drowned in tangy barbeque sauce, let's move to our feature of April-May, which is ...duh-duh-duh-duh ... all the wacky recipes that the snotty chefs wouldn't get caught dead cooking or eating.

Let's call it White Trash Gourmet. KB's recent recipe of the Ultimate Grilled Cheese sandwich prompted this latest feature, one which is truly near and dear to my heart. Could you imagine a chef like Wolfgang Puck frying bologna? Me neither. If this is not the essence of what Men in Aprons is all about, just shoot me now.

I think this is one we should have fun with. I think even the bachelor quesadillas should qualify in this category.

You know what I'm talking about, right? Stuff like, Frito Pie. Or cream chipped beef on toast. Or ... or ... red wine with ice in it (Sorry, J & C). And I really want to try a battered, deep-fried bacon recipe. I heard there's a place near College Station, Texas that serves this.

Let's have fun with this. If you have a favorite wacky recipe that the most snotty French chef wouldn't get caught dead making, send it on to us.
